STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDEBS JOB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well known Family Medi* cine has been largely tested in all pacts of the world, and bj all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEAKB. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many pur* chasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the publio to give a special caution against the use of BUCK IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;— Ist—ln every caße the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved oa the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Each Single' Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Johw Stkkdxak, Chemist, "Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. « 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey.

On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. - In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useleis, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possets of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result. Hide it as be may, put on as good au exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he it a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices, will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of our future offspring, and the duty, we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a direful man mttke* enquiries as their standings their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both at to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the j individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitneßS, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it asteniibiug that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that J, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies'! Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various not* trumt they are selliog,—tuoh at Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &o. —and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have VMOYSD to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I ttep out of the ethict of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the tervicet of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who bat made thit hit especial study.
