QTEEDMAN'S fc)OOTHING Jlowders For Children Cutting Teeth. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the World, and by all grades of society j for upwards of fifty years. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced spurious imitations, some of which in outward appearance so closely re semble the original as to deceive many purchasers. The Proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give A SPECIAL CAUTION against the use of such imitations. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine :— Ist. —In every case the words « JOHN STEEDMAN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey," are engraved on the Government stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd.—Each single powder has directions for the dose, and the words " JOHN STEEDMAN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey," printed thereon. 3rd. —The uawe Stecdman is always pelt with two EE's. 4th.—The manufacture is carried on I solely at Walworth, Surrey.
