STEEDMAH'S SOOTHING POWDERS fob . CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this veil known Family Mcdi> cine has been largely tested in all part* of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABB. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to hare deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS.

In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in * hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repiniugs futile. The sole idea should be the chances we posses* of "remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is • living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to. society at Urge, the welfare of our future offspring, and ttie duty, we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to us, not to wait till the ravage* break out in our constitutions. " Before negotiating with^a merchant, before enguging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications aud as to his capsbilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medicui man, the sufferer frequently omits ; these necessary precautions ana without re* gard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment rcquir- . ing treatment, he consults the nearest man, whoso experience and practice, perhaps, lies ■ in quite an opposite direction. Is ie astvniebiug that co. many are driven | mod, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Hare I not fur 1 years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have 1 not i also prosecuted, at my own expense, these [ vety quacks, and-expoied the various nostrums they are soiling,—such at Phosphodyne Essence «f Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I j have fbovbd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the j profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, whs hag made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice en NERTOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND KHRUMATT3M.
