THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas! saj 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 1 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 tu his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have ? Wha# aspirations? What chance of leaving Ait footpiints on the sands of time? For him, alas ! there i« nought but dark despair and self-reproach for a lost life. x 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 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 piiy 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) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession bis par* ticular speciality, whose life has been devoted to ihe treatment of theßO cases ? Keader, what is your answer '? Lei each ose answer for 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 sound 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 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 jovous 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' pro es» sional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all— no matter how mtiy hundreds or thousanda of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now eo Well orgauised and known, that comment would be superfluous— (by tbis oeaus many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious eupervison 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 forwurded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered, Plain and clear directions accompany these latf&r, and a cure is effected without eyen the phyeician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-cown Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L, L. SMITH'S plan of treatment coinmends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit, Addbbss— DR. L. SMITH, 182, COLLINS TREET JEABT, MELBOOKNE.
