STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS FOB CHILDREN CUTTING- TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value 1 of this well known Family Mcdi« ■cine 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 has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many pur* chasers. 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, John Stbedman, ,Cbemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedma'n is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors. Sold by Kbxfehobhb, Pbobsbb, and Co., Auckland. tu1986 "Is. there no hope P the eick man said The silent doctor shook his head."

On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged ia " 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 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 case of a legal adviser, both aB 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 Bufferer 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 direotion. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, liopo 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 veiy quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Fhosphodyne Essence of Life, &o.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I bave pboved 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 1 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 NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OP CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
