STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS SOB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS.. The value of thin well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society* for up wards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned extensive sale hag 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 the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. -Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;'— » Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved ca the Government Stamp affixed to each packet, 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Johv Stbkdman, Chemist, Wolwortb, Surrey, printed thereon.

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. The solo idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result, ilido it ns he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that be is a living lie, and that econer 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, wo owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, . and points out to us, not to wait till the ravnges break out in our constitutions. . Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a. confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a cureful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, iv the caee of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and us to his capabilities of transacting the 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 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 it astonishing that bo many are driven mad, ore 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 ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these 1 veiy quacks, and exposed the various nos- , trums they aro selling,—such as Phosphodyne Eaaence of Life, &.O.— and bad them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and tho certificates I have pbotkd 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 opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified,man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Siniih is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practico on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
