STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS *OB CHILDREN COSTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PUROHASEBS. The value of this well known Family Mcdi» doe 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 OUT WARD APPEARANCE bo closely resemble the original as to have deoeived 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 obserre the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;— Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOATH SURREY, are engraved en .the Government Stamp affixed to each packet; 2nd —Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Johv Bjxsduab, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. Brd—The' name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture it carried on solely »t Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Tendon.

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 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 j before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the oaae of a 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 these necessary precautions and without re« gard to the fitness, qualification, experieoee and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practioe, 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 P 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 1 Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these ve»y quacks, and exposed the various nostrums 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 ?20T£B 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 hag 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.
