QTEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDEBS k) job ■ ' CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASEBS. Tho -value of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in nil parti of the world,, and by aU grades of society, for up words of FIFTY YEABS. 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 purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against tho use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none aregenuine 5— '■ Ist—-In every caeo the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH OUKBEY,_are engraved ta the Government Btamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the doso, and the words, John Stebdmah, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

In theoo colonies those excesses which we have indulged iti ■" 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. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a.living lie,, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to tho 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 üb, 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 careful man makes enquiries as their Blinding, their length of occupancy or residence j and, ia the case of a legal' adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to- his capabilities of transacting the individual business ho consults him upon. Strange to Bay, however, in the selection of a medical man, Iho sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without ro* gard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, ho consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. , Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for yenrs pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. S&ilh, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these | veiy quacks, and exposed the various nos--1 trums they are Belling,—such as Phosphodyno Essence of Life, &o.—and had them aualysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring natter," and the cerfificates I bave photbd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those mho require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical mau advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice oq NERTOUS DIOEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY BYPHJLITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
