QTJEEDMAH'B SOCXIHIKG POWDEBS CEILDEEN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PUBOEASEBS. The value of this weli known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades cf society, for up wards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned extensive eolo hae induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it duo to the public to give a special caution, against tho use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observo the four following distinctive I characteristics, without which none are genuine j— 1st —In every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH BUREEY, are engraved en the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Each Single Powder has directions for the doee, and the words, John Sieedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

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 useless, our repinings futile. Tho Pole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying tho ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result, liido it os he may, put ou ac good an exterior as ho can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or Inter his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, tho welfuro of cur future offspring, and the duty, wo owo 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 curcful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence ; uud, in the ease of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications «i,d us to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to ear, however, in the selection of a medical mun, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without rogard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, ho consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, Hee in quite vi: opposite direction. Is ii astonishing that bo many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and aru bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for yonra pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in tlie Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these voij quacks, and exposed the various nos* tru.-ua they are selling,—such as Phosphodyna Essence of Life, &o.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring" matter," and the certificates I have pbovjkd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give thoae who require the services of my branch an opportuuifcy of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hug 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 NERVOUS DISEASES LOS 3OP POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OP CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
