CAUTION TO POECHASEBS

The value of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of lIBTY YEABB. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, come of which in OUTWARD APPEABANOE so closelj resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. " Purchasers arc therefore requested carefully to obeerre the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine 5— 1st —In every case the words JOHK STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTfI BUBREY, are eDgraved oa the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Stuebman, Chemist, "Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Stcedman is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors. Sold by Kempthoene, Pbosrbb, and Co., Auckland, tu!W6 "Is there no hope ? the sick man said The silent doctor shook his head." j " While there is life there's hope, ho said, • " JEgroto, dum animas est, spes est" DE L. ~ SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). COHBUITS — On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cuuee arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiacre- . tions. On Gout. On Bheumatism. In thc9e colonies those excesses which wo have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest.

Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result. Bide ib as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living Ho, 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 emplojiug a barrister, a oisreful msa makes enquiries ac their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the caee of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transuding the individual busiuees he consults him upon. Strange to eaj, however, in the selection of a medical man, the eufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, 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 is astonishing 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 I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified, medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Hare I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and expoeed the -various nostrums they are seliing,—such as 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 PHOVJBD to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch as opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he liv been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice en NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OP POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. Da L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter—Fee, £1. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. D» L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street, East (Late the Residence of the Governor) MxuovitKi, 647
