STEEDM AN'B"SOOTHING POWDERS CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this veil known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of-the world, and by all grades of society, for up warchroL FIFTY YEABB.V Its well-earned extensive sale* ha*, induced SPURIOUS , IMITATIONS, some ot which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purI 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 doße, and the words, JoaK Steedman, Chemist, 'Walwortb, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. ■■!■ 4th—The manufacture is carried*on solely at Walworth fc ßurrey.

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, 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 I hat 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 üb, 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 direful man makes enquiries as, their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of o legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to bis 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 iheße 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 yearß pointed out to them that 2, Dr L. L. Smitli, am the only legally . qualified niedieal man advertising in the Colonies'} Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoeed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &c— and bad them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pbovkd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of thfe I profession and advertise, to give those who I require tbe services of my branch an oppori luuity of knowing they can consult a legally 1 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 en NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION" GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. Db L. L. SMITH can be consulted by let* ter—Fee, £1/ Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. . J Db L. L. SMITH, 19S; Collins street, Eaofc (Late the Residence of the Governor) Msibovbki, 647
