** Live-a of great men all remind us, We can make oar lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." THE above is read with great interest by thousands QLyoung-jnen— It inspires tUem with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth fchefe is no such word as fail. Lias ! sa) many, this is correct, — is true with '.'jgard to the youth who has never abused his strength— and to the man who has not been 4 passion's slave." But to that youth — to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to th*9 temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines aro but as a reproach. What Hope can he have ? Wh-as aspirations ? What chance of leaving hit footprints on the sands of time ? For*him, alas! therein 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 ener/y to execute! But look at our Australian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vucant 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 lootprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth puy sufficient attention to this subject ? Do tbey ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of tbese cases ? Keader, what is your answer ? Let euch one answer lor 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 ono 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 oil' the impending doom ot a mis-drub. c and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure ajovousand happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, "has made the diseases of youth and those arising there* from his peculiar study. His wh-jle pro es» sional life has been especially devoted to Ihe treatment of Nervous A {fictions aud the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His akill is available to ail— no maiter how mt ty hundreds or thousanda of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter i.s now so Well orgauised and known, tint comment would be superfluous — (by this -:,eans many thousands ol patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious aupt.M-vi-.0-i that though he has been practising thisbranch of his profession lor twenty-sis yeurs in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded iv the same careiul manner withoul a possibility of the tonteLts of the parcels being discovered, Plain and clear directions accompuny these latfor, aud a cure is euVcted without eyen the physician knowing who is bis patient. To Men and Women wiih Broken-it own Constitutions, the IServous, ihe Debilitated, and all sull'ering from any Disease whatever, Dr Jj, L. SMITH'S plan oi treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience aud expense of a personal visit, Addbess — , DE, L. SMITH, 182, COLLINS TREET EAST, I MELBOURNE.
