Public ffctices. " Lives of great men itll remind us, We can n ake our live? ■tihlirm 1 ; AnH, ripportine, icave beliind us Footprints on the sands of timo." •. f-pHE above is read with great interest by 1 _|_ thousands of young men. It inspires | them with Hopk, for in the bright lemon of ■cuth there is no such word us tail. Uhs! saj many, this is correct, — is true with >.')gard to tbe 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 waoted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements ol vice, who has iriven unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope c*n lie havo ? What aspirations ? What clmnce of leaving Am footpiintg on the sands of time P For him, alas! therein nought bat dark despair and self-reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his lootprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must j possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body —the power to conceiTe— the energy to execute ! But look at our I I Australian youth! See the emaciated form, j ! the vacnnt look, the listless hesitating manner, , the n.ivous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and ! conversation, and then say, Is that ft man to leave hit footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subi ject ? Do" they ever ascertain the cause ol this decay j aud having done so, do they (as ■ a strict sense of duty demands) seek the i skilled advice of the medical man, who has i made tbis branch of his profession his par i ticular speciality, whose life has been devoted to he treatment of theso cases P Reader, what is y&«/ answer ? Let each one answer for himself, Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, «c them become > emaciated old young men, broken down in I health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of 1 life; yet one word might save them, one I round and vigorous health«giving letter from k a medical nan, habituated to the treatment f and continuous supervision of such oases 1 wou' 1, in most instances, succeed in warning otf Ue impending doom of a miserable and | gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made ' the diseases of youth and those arising therd | from his peculiar study, fl is whole professional life has been especially devoted to the [ treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. Bis 1 skill is available to all— no matter how m«."»y | hundreds or thousanda of miles distar t. His system of correspondence by letter is now so 1 well orgauised and ktoown, thut comment would be superfluous— (by this -leans many thousands ot patients haro been cared, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervison 1 that though he has been r-ractuiiig this 1 branch of his professiou for twenty-six years ' in these colonips, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. 1 When Medicines are required, these are ' forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents ot the parcels being discovered, Plain and clear directions accompany these latfer, aud a cure is envcted > without eyen the physician knowing who is ' his patient.

SMITH'S plan of treatment com« > mends itself, avoiding, as it does, tbe inconvenience and expeuse f a personal visit, r Addhbss— DR. L. L SMITH, 182, COLLINa STREET KAST, MKLBOOitNE.
