QTEEDMANU SOOTHING POWDEES O - toe CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASEES. The value of this well known Family Mcdiciuo has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABS. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, Borne of which in OUTWAED APPEAEANOE bo closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution againer ■the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe tho four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;—• let —In every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, Y7ALWOETH SUEKEY, are engraved oa the G overriment Stamp affixed,to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Stkedsun, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in •' hot youth " 101 l upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repiniugs futile.

Before negotiating with n merchant, before engnging with a confidoDtial clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man mukea enquiries as tht-ir standing, their length of occupnncy or residence; and, iv the case of a legal adviser, both ac to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical nviu, the sufferer frequently omits these neceseai'y precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular nilmont requiring treatment, ho coa&ults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that bo many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and arejmnkrupt 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 Colonie?? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling, —such as Phoephodyno Essence of Life, &o.—and bad them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have moved 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 an oppot- | tuuity 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 man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
