" Ask Medicus' counsel ere meiiicine ye take, And honor but man for necessity's sake, Though thousands luite physio because of the cost. Yet thousands it helpeih that else should be lost." Thomas Trusser, a.d., 1523. " O you kind gods, Ci:re this grent breach in his abused nnture !" HAVE you been the i^ailty victim of a fenrful secret vice ? Have you allowed your passions to fcuvo unbridled swiiy, and is nature now resc-nt-inEf with fenrful interest the outrage committed ui'on hei ? Am you pining and luooding your time away in melancholy, nud allowing the cnnkerworin of disease and decay to enter into you and consume you without dating to confide in a friend ? Or are you fearful of communicating yom secret to your meiiical attendant? Firstly because of the grout nusi. you would hnve to repose in him, and the fear o) his divulging it to one of the family ; nud secondly because you have heaid of numberless cases where the general practitioner has had his patient for years under treatment for ft disease, which bia limited amount of practice in this particular branch of his profession, gives him no opportunity of ac, quiring Knowledge, cither of discriminating the disease, or, on discovering it, not knowing how to cur« it. lstly — Why is this ? Because, the patient is cognisant of the fuct that from want of prnctice in these unhappy cases, the medical man (otherw^e skilful) is unable v) discriminate the cause, and therefore unable to cure ! the patient. j 2ndly — Want of confidence in entrusting to his medical adviser bis secret, for fear of betrayal of bis infirmity. 3rdly — Bashfnlnesa and delicacy iv exposing his frailty to a fellow-being, I'uce to face. Hence the utility of Dr Smith's correspondence by letter! Dr L. L. SMITH'S extensive practice, in the nbove-glanced at diseases is well known throughout the Australian colonies ; nay, even in England, and lie points with a pardonnlile pride at the fact that lie lias been ihe means of saving many from untimely deaths. Hn bus bad all kinds of epithets launched at his ui-formriHte head by his medical brethren, because he udveitises (and so does every medical man privately, though be has not the pluck to own it), nnd because he has niore especially devoted his studies to tl'c above diseases. But, he asks here publicly, is it not better that a legally qualified medical man should take up this branch of prnctice iliun that the uufortuunte sufferers should full victims to the various quacks and charlatans who advertise and prey upon the deluded ignoraut victims whom these wretches lure to their dens. Medical men think, or preteud to think, that it is derogatory to their dignity to practice in this peculiar brunch of their profession, but John Hunter. Mn'shall Mall, Ricurd, Lnllemnnd, aud Culverwell (whoso pupil Dr Smith was), devoted their attention to to it, and stand prominent as the greatest anatomist!', physiologists and pathologists of their Let the thinking portion of the public imagine what must have !->een the prnctice of Dr L.L. Smith during the last eleven years in ibis colony, standing alone, as he has, in curing the above diseases, and the diseases and infirmities of liuuried life generally; and then let them ask this question — has Dr Smith during the whole course of this exteneive practice ever bad one single case of mal praxis brougit .(gainst him ? Tlijh is a proud thing- for any one in his profession to state — to state it moreover openly, nud ma public manner thus; but Dr Smith has ever held sacred the trust reposed in him, nnd he now openly oilers eleven years' guarantee of honor, skill, practice, uud he humbly states, ability, iv this unrticulnrbrauch of bis profession, 'lay. Dr L. L. SMITH then offers three gunrautees to those who desire to consult him : — Eleven years' extensive practice in this colony, irrespective of his practice iv Knglnnd. Eleven years' guarantee of sacrcdnnss of reticence; Nine years' practice of consultation by letter. Of his success in practice it is more fitting the public should speak tlian himself.
