Medical. " Lives of great men all remind We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leaves behind us Footprints on the sandi of time," THE above ia read with great inter es by thousands of yrcng men. I inspires them with Hops, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas ! lay many, this Is correct— is trad with regard to the youth who hai neror abused his strength—and to the man who has not been " passion's slave." Bat to that youth— to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice who has given unbridled lioense to his pas) sions, to him the above nes are but as a reproach. What. Ro*h can he have? What inspirations ? What chance of leaving his footprints on the Bands of time ? For nun, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self 'reproach/or a lost life For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervouß power. He mußt poßseßS a sound, vigorous healthy mind, in a healthy body — the power to conceive — the energy to execute ! But look at our Australian youth 1 See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Ia that a man to cave his footprints on the Bands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this Bubject ? Do they ever ascertain the cauae of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who ha 9 made this branch of Ma profession M 3 particular speciality, whoße 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 thfee become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of lifej yet one word might oave 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 system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and haDpy life; Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. Hia whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. Hia skill is available to all — no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. Ilia sjstem of correspondence bj letter i"b qow so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous— (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has eever seen and never known); and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty ssis years ia these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful manner witboua possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it docs, the iacoa venience and expense of a personal visit. Address— Dr L. L.
