STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS JOB CHILDBEN CUTTING TEETH. iAUTION TO FUBOHASEBS. • The value of this well known Family Mcdi« cine has been largely tested in all parti of the. world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABB. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWABD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to hare deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against j the use of BUOH 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 STESDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH SURREY, ore engraved en the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. ' 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the doMj and the words, Johv Simdiuk, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

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 sole idea should be the chances .we possess of remedying the ills we already have, iot 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 the world. Our Faith, onr 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 employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries .as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a 1 legal adviser, both as 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 man, tho sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, lie consults tlie 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 years pointed out to them that I, Er L, L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertizing in the Colonies I Have I not also prosecuted, at my.own expense, these very quacks, and expoced the various nottrums they are selling,—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 PBOTJU) to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of ths ethics of the profession and advertise,'to give thoee who require the services of my branch an 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 has been in i Melbourne 24 years, in fall practice en 1 NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
