> Public Notices. " Lives of gFeat men all remind us, We ran rrnke our livea sublime; And, depnrting, leave behind us Footprint on the sands of tim«." THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hopb, for in the bright lexiooii of cuth there 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 • passion's slave." . But t<> thut youth — to that man, who lias ' wasted his vi»or, who has yielded himself up tc the teinpor >ry eweet allurements ot vice, who hue given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach What Hopb en he have ?,, What aspirations P What chunce of leaving hit footpiints on the sands ot time? For him, alae! therein nought but dark despair and self-reuroaoh for a lost life. For a man to leave his ootprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, ia a healthy body — the power to conceive — the ener :y to execute ! But look at our Australian youth 1 Seethe emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the n.Yvous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to leave Aw lootprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth puy sufficient attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause ot this decay ; and having done mo, do they (as v strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled adjvice of the medical man, who has mutile this branch of his prolession hi* particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to he treatment of these oases P Reader, what is yuwr answer ? Le. each one answer •or 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 f«ound and vigorous health-giving letter' from a medical nan, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such oases wou' J, in most instances, succeed in warning, off tiie impending doom of a miserable aud gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy Uf*. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, hue made the disease* of youth and those arising therd from hib peculiar study. His whole provisional lile has been especially devowd to the treatment ol Nervous Aifectioua- and tha Diseases incidental to Married Life. Eiis skill ie available to ail — no matter how nu*ty huudreds or thousanda ot miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well orgauised and known, thut comment would be superfluous — (by this teaus many thousands oi patients have been cured, whom he has never seen und never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been . prucfcLiiufc^thU branch of his profession ior twenty«six years in these colonies, no single instance of acoidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careiul manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered, Plain and clear directions accompany these latfer, and a cure is envoted without eyen the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the .Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L, L. SMITH'S plac of treatment commends itself; avoiding, as it does, Ihe inconvenience and oxpeuse f a personal visit. ADDBBB8 — DR. L. L SMITH, 182, COLLINS BTRKJCT EAST, MKLBOOUHB.
