11 Lives of great men all remind us, "We can n>!il:e our lives sublime; And, departing, leavo behind us Footprints on the 6anda of time." THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with UorE, for iv the bright lexicou of youth there is no such word 1 as fail. _llas ! sa} many, this, is correct, — is truo with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength — and to the man who has not beon I ' passion's slave." But to that youth — to that man, who has waited his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has /given unbridled license tv his passions, to him the above lines are but us a reproach. Wbat Hope csin he have ? Whn* aspirations ? What chance of levying hit footprints on the sands of time ? For'him, alas! therein nought but dark despair and self-reproacb for a lost life. For a man to leave hia footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must poßßess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, iv a healthy body — the power to conceive— the energy to execute! But look at our Australian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, tho 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 a?id educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having' done so, do they (us a etrict sense of duty demands) feck the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of bis profession his particular speciality, whose Hie has beeu devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Keader, what is your ancwer ? Le: each oae answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted fov the battle of life; yet one word might save them, one sound 1 and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of suoh 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 eastern to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. SMIIH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. Bis whole pro;e3» sional life has beeu especially devoted to tiio treatment of Nervous Affections and tho Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all— no matter liow mt.'iy '• hundreds or thousanda of nuL'S distant. His I system of correspondence by letter is now go well orgauised aud known, th.it comment would be superfluous — (by this leaus many thousands ot patients have beeu cured, whom be has never seen never known) ; »nu it is earned on with euch judicious supcrvisou that though he lias been practicing this branch of his profession for tweutyosix years in these colonies, no single instance oi accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in tbu same careiul manner without a possibility ot tho contents of the parcels being discovered, Plain and clear directions accompany thoee latfer, aud .1 cui-o is eilcuted without eyen the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken*£ovn Constitutions, the ftervous, thy Debilitated, aud all Buttering from any Disease whai ever, Dr L, L. SMITH'S pluu ol treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it doeß, ihe inconvenience aud ex;jeuse of a personal visit, Addeess — DR. L. SMITH, 182, COLLINS street east, MKLI3OOHNE.
