PubUo Votiett, 11 Lives of great men all remind us, We tan n>«ke our lives sublime j And, departing, leave behind us Footprint* on the *and* of time.' mHK above i* read with great int«re*t by I thousamis o' young m«n. It inspire* th<-m with Hops, (or in the bright lexicon o» t uth there i« no such word as fail. lU* ! sa* many, this is correct,— is true with ">gard to* the youth who haa never abased his strength—and to tho mau who haa not been • pa**ion'» «kve." But to ihnt youth— to that man, who has waited his vi|ror, who has yielded himself up tr the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unoridled license tv his passions, to him the above lines are hut as » reproach. What How em» W have P What aspirations P What chance of leaving Ait lootpiinis on the sand* ol' rimeP For him, alHs! there i* nought but dark despair and self-reproach for a hit Me. For a man to leave his ootprints on the sand* of time, he mu»t be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He musl posies* a sound, viaoious, healthy iniiid, in a ht-alihy body— the power to conceiTe— the ener.7 to execute! But look at our Australian youth 1 See the emaciated form, the vnc*nt iook, the listless hesitating manner, the mivrtus distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note hi* demeanour and conversation, and then *ay, Is that a man to leave hit footprints on the sauds of time. Do parents, medical men aid educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject f Do they ever ascertain the cause ol this decay ; and having done »o, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) »eek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has in»de tni* branch of hi* profession his par ticular speciality, whose life has been devoted to he treatment of these oases P header what is your an* wer P Let eaoh one answer <or himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, «c them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life j yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical nan, habituated to the treatment and continuous tupervuion of such eases wou' i, in most instances, succeed in warning oil t.ie impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and eusure ajoious and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therd from bis peculiar study. Bis whole pro essional life has been especially devoted to the trratment. of Nervous Affections and the . Disenses incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all— no matter how nn ty uiii.drede or thoutauda of unlet distar I. Hi* system of correspondence by letter is now so well orgauised and known, thit comment would b* superfluous— (by this >cans many thousands ot patients have been cured, whom lie ba» never seen and never known) t and it i» ntmed on with such judicious supervison thai though he lit* been r™oti«iug this branch of his profe«tiou lor twenty-eix years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicine* are required, these are forwurded in the sauie careful manner without a possibility of the ionteuts of the parcels being discovered. Plain and dear direciious accompany the«e latter, aud a cure is effected without eyen the phyiciau knowing who is his pntient. To Men and Women with Broken«t!own Constitutions, the Aervou*, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. gJfllTii'S plan ol treatment commend* itself. Avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and oxpeuse f a personal visit, Addkisb — DR. L. L SMITH, 182. COLLLNd SlfthKl EAST. MKLBOOi.NB. (Late the Reii-ienee ot the Governor.)
