IN all the a"bove cases, arising from errors awl the yielding to the passion,,, no time should be lost to at once arrest the progress of disease. -— * DIC'L. L. SMITH has devoted himself for twenty years in the colony to the practice of this branch of his profession, while previously, in England, he was the pupil of, and practiced with, the celebrated Dr It. T. Oulverwell, the only medical practitioner who ever exclusively adopted this as the sole brandi of his profession. Dr,L. L. Smith hereby informs the public that he is the only leyalljj-qiuilfficd medical man in Utis speciality of his profession ; that others advertising are unqualified, and that, therefore, in pretending to be qualified are obtaining money under false pretences. Dr.. L. L. Smith also warns the public against the quackeries advertising. If the taker c-f any of thes advertised nostrums escapes with his life, or hissystem be not thoroughly and irreparably undermined by them, he may lookupon himself as the most fortunate mortal. v Dn. L. L. S.m itii has been applied to by so many unfortunate broken-down young-old-men, utterly crushed inspirit, ruined in body, and lilched in pocket, that he deems it a duty to publish this to tho world. Those men and women who havo be>;n the victims of unprincipled charlatans frequently secknthat recovery which is often beyond Dr. Smith's co trol. When will the public understand that it is to their interest to consult a daily qualified medical man, how has made this his sole study, rather than apply to a number rf ignorant importers, who merely harp and prey upon their pockets and health ? Dp.. L. L. Smith has always stated that'to warn the public of these quicksands is his chief re.ison for advertising. In all cases of nervous debility, lowness of spirits loss of power, pimples on the forehead, lassitude 11 inaptitude for business, inipotency, drainage from the system, and the various effects of errors of youth and I Mood-poisoning from diseases previously contracted. Dr. L. L. Smith invites sufferers to consult him, as he has no hesitation in stating that no medical man, ' either here or in England, has had the opportunities for practice and extraordinary experience which he has had. Therefore, those who really desire to be treated by one who is at the head of his profession in this branch of medical practice should lose no time in seeking his advice Nor should any one marry without first consulting him. | The Consulting Rooms are at IS2 COLLINS S T REE T EAST MELBOURNE, ■ 1 OJ'I'OHITK THE MELDOUIIKK CMH), j (Late the residence of tho Governor).

SEWING MACHINES MADE BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLA.NB, combine th« best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some recent rfkoiax lill'UOVE ments, which no otlier Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be bettor than any otlier The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult or.c, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many pcop c convinced of the advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet posse?? oi.e because among so many they are unable to satisfy tlu-iv.selves ns to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow mo to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any olher Machine will, and do it belter, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Ulnding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c., with a perfect stitcli ulike on both sides. They are fitted with an IMPROVED BItKAR, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread They make less noise than most Machines, and i 3 the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Kvcry Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase.

Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Shouldi be used by Consumers in preference to <uiy ni.ne Petroleum Oil. Ist. It is safe, having a fire test of never less than 12f>° Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment ' with acids ar.J alkalies as the kst process. It is i double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be romoved except by their process, 3rd. The Downor Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil fora given amount of light. It^ivesless trouble, because the Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downev Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has been adhored to from the beginning, without re gard to expense. , ear n.b.— DOWNER'S KEROSENE IS THE ONLY BRAND tAtiiatnui .
