Medical. 11 Lives of great men all remind We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leaves behind us Footprints on the sandi of time," nnHE above is read with great interes JL by thousands of yc-ing men. I inspires them with Hops, for in tbe bright lexicon of youth there is no ouch word as fail* Alsal say many, this in correct— la true with regard to the youth who has naror abused his ■trength— and to the man who has not been " passion's slave." But to thnt youth— to that man, who ha* wasted his vigor, who has yiolded himself ap to the temporary svreet allurements of rice, who has given unbridled license to his pas sionSj to him tbe above nes are but as a reproach. What Bomb can he have? What inspirations ? What chance of leaving hit footprints on the sands of time ? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach/or a lost hfe For a man to leave his footprints on the sandß of lime, he must be endowed with a Btrong brain and nervou3 power. He meet possess a sound, vigorous healthy mind, in a healthy body — the power to conceive — the energy to execute ! But look at our Aue* tralian youth 1 See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the lietlees hesitating manner the nervous distrust, the BenseleßS, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to cave Ms footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to thi3 Bubject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek tbe skilled advice of the medical man, who haa made this br&ach of iis profession hi 3 particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Reader what s your answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see" then; become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life; yet ona word might save them one sound vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated sj'stera to its natural rigor, and ensure a joyou3 and happy life; Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, hae made the d : seas3a of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections aud the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His akill ia available to all — no matter how many hundreds or thoueanda of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now co well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous— (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never Been and never known); and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of hia profession for tv<entynsix years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are for~ warded in the same careful manner witboua possibility of the contents of the narcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patienf. To Men and Women with Broken-down, Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr t j. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, tho incca venience and expense of a personal visit. Address— Dr L. L.
