11 Lives of great men all remind ua, We can n>nke our lives sublime 5 And, departing, leave behind us Footprints cv the sands of time." THE above is read wit hy»reat . interest by, thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicoti of youth there is no such word as fail. .;ilas ! sa} many, this is correct, — is true with >?.-)gard to the youth who has never abused" his strength — and to the man who has not been ' passion's slave." But to that youth— to that man, who ha 6 wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to tha temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him^the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have ? Whas aspirations ? What chance of leaving Mt footpiints on the sands of time ? For^him, alaB! there is nought bub dark despair and self-reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in 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 lietless hesitating manner, the iktvous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note lm demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a mini to leave Ills footprints on the sauds of time. Do puvents, medical men and educators of youth pny sufficient attention to this subject? Do they ever ascertain tho caus9 of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) peek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made tuis .branch of his profession his particular speciality, wliosc life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases ? header, what is your answer ? Le: each oho 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 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 cases, would, in most instances, succeed in warding oft 1 the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated systoin to its natural vigor, and ensure ajovous and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising there* from his peculiar study. His whole proves* atonal life has been e&petially devoted to tho treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseßses incidental to Married Life, His skill 19 available to ail — no nmter how mt -ly hundreds or thousanda of miles distant. His I system of correspondence by letter is now so WpII organised and known, that comment would ba superfluous — (by this jeans many thousands ot patieuts have been cured, whom he has never seen nnd never known) ; and it ie earned on with such judicious supervi->ou that though ho has been practising this branch of hie profession ior ivveuty»six years in the&e colonies, no single instance ot accidental discovery has ever yet happened. Wlien Medicines are required, these are ■ forwarded in tfio same careful manner without a possibility oi the i-on touts of the parcels being discovered, Plain anil clear direuiions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without eyen the physician knowing who is his putieiU.

To Men aad Women with Broken-lown Constitutions, the JNervouy, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease wtiatever' Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan ol treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it dots, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit, Addbess — .DR. L. SMITH, 182, OOLLI3TJ STREET EAST, MELBOOKNE. (Late the Residence -n the Governor.)
