IN all the above cases, arising from ' errors and the yielding to the passion, no time should be lost to at once arrest the progress of disease. DR. 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 practised with, the celebrated Dr. R. T. Culverwell, the only medical practitioner wlio ever exclusively adopted this as the sole branch of his profession. Dr L. L. Sjiitji hereby informs the public that he is the only legally-qualified medical man in • ihix speciality of his profes.?io:\ ; that others advertising are unqualified, and. that, therefore, in pretending to be qualified are obtaining money under false pretences. Dn. L. L. Smith also warns the public against the quackeries advertising. If the taker < f any of thes advertised nostrums escapes with his life, or his system be not thoroughly and irreparably undermined, by. them'> he may lookupon himself as the most fortunate mortal. Dit. L. L. Smith has been applied to by so many unfortunate broken-down young-old-men, utterly crushed in spirit, rained in body, and filched in pocket, that he deems it a duty to publish this to the world. Those men and woman who havo been the victims, of unprincipled charlatans frequently seek ntllat-; recovery which is often beyond Dr, Smith's co trolf 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 of ignorant impostors, who merely harp and prey upon their pockets and health ? Dr. L. L. Smith has always stated thatfto warn the public of th^se quicksands is his chief reason for advertising. In all cases of nervous debility, lowness of spirits loss of power, pimples on the forehead, lassitude* inaptitude for business, impotoncy, drainage from tho system, and the various effects of errors of youth and blood-poisoning from diseases previously contracted. Dr. L. L Smith invites sufferers to consult him, as he has no hesitation in stating that no medical mail, either here or in England, has had the opportunities for practice and extraordinary experience which he has had. Therefore, those who resily desire to be treated by one who is at the head of his profession in this branch of medical practice should lose no time m seeking his advice. Nor should any one marry without firsti consulting him. :* The Consulting Rooms are at 182 . . , . ■ CO L L INS STR EE T EAS T| MELBOURNE, ~ Opposite the Melbourne Club, '.' ■ {Late the residence of the Governor).

Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL i Should[be used by Consumers in preference to «.ny 1 vi.no Petroleum Oil. ! Ist. It is safe, having a fire test of never less than ! I 125° Fahrenheit. ! 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment i 1 with acids and alkalies as the last process. It is | ) double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their ■ process, ' 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns I I with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a [ I given amount of light. It gives less trouble, because I i the Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick j | less frequent trimming. j i 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon I j than other oils, it is, in tho end, cheaper for the con j sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with i consumption of oil. i Your grocer may tell you ho has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. i ; 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 adhered to from the beginning, without re garil to expense. j S3T N.B.— DOWNER' S KEROSENE IS THE ONLY BRAND ThatJ will/give [entlrol satisfaction In the Anucapnic Lamp.
