txreymouth. "Lives of great men all remind ua, VFe can make oar lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us •Footprint* on the lands of time." THE aboTe is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hops, foriu the bright lexicon of youth there ia no such word as fail. .Alas! sa>) many, tbis is correct,— is true with »«gard to th* 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 has ! wasted his vigor, Who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of rice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope cnn he have ? Whaa aspirations? What chance of leaving hit footpnnts on the sands of time? For'him, alus ! there i* nought but 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 listless hesitating manner, the iutvou9 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 done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) reek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made tbis branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to ' the treatment of theso cases ? Reader, what is your answer ? Let 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 for tlie buttle 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 iv warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment j festore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. l)r L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the disease* of youth and those arising there* from his peculiar study. His whole pro es>» stonal life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Auctions and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. Bis skill is available to all — no matter how uu -\j ' hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His I system of correspondence by letter is now so Well orgauised and known, that comment would be superfluous— (by this 'jeans many thousands ol patients have been cured, whom he has never Been and never known) ; and it i? carried 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, theso are forwarded in the same carelul manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered, Plain anU clear directions accompany these latfer, and a cure is effected without eyen the phyciciau knowing who is bis patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, tho ftervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, DrL, L. SMITH'S plan ol treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense uf a personal visit, ADDBE33— DR. L. SMITH, 182, COLLIE TttEET EAST, MELBOURNE.
