i " Lives of great men all remind us, We can route our lives sublime; ' And, departing, leave behind us Footprinto on the sands of time." THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inapire'a them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail, .lias ! saj many, this is correct,— is i true with regard | to the youth who has never abused° his strength— and to the man who has not been ' passion's sluve." But to thnt youth— to that man, who hss wasted hia vigor, who has yielded himself tip to thetemporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but n$ a reproach. What Hope cm he have ? Whas aspirations ?■;. What chance of leaving lit footprints on the sands of time? For him, alas! there is nought but dark despair and' Belf'ieproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he mu?t be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power". He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy niiad, iv a healthy body — the power to conceive— the energy to execute! But look at our Australian youth ! Seethe 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, Is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay; and having ddne so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) peek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his par- ! ticulur speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Reader, what is your answer ? Let each oae answer ior himself. Parents, see their progeny fading gradually, before their eight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life; yet one word might save them, one Round and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such case?, 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 happy life. I Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and thoae arising there* from his peculiar study. His whole pvo.esx sionai life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Disetfses incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all— no matter how mt."iy f hundreds or thousanda of miles distant. His I system of correspondence by letter is now so well orgauised and known, that comment would be superfluous — (by tlii* sieaus many thousands ol patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is earned on with such judicious supervison that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty^six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered, Plain and clear directions accompany these latfer, and a. cure is effected without eyen the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-cJown Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L, L. SMITH'S plan ol treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit, ADDEES3— DR. L. SHITS, 182, COLLINS STBEET EAST, MELBOURNE.
