STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS JOB CHILDBEISr CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO FUBOHASEBS. l - The value of this veil known Family Medi> cine hat 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 has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to hare deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to gire a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. - Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none arc genuine;— ' -■ Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH SURREY, are engraved oa the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Johit Stmdkik, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon, Brd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture it carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey.

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, i. 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 Jiving lie, and that sooner or later bit rices will discover him to the 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 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 4be of a 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, .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 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 advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and expoced the various nos* trums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence ef Life, &c—*and bad them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pboyjed 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 baa 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 i NEBYOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY BYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
