STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDEHS FOB . CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. ____— •- CAUTION' TO PUECHABEES. The value of this well known Family Medidue has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society,* for up warda of FIFTY YEABS. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWAED APPEAEANCE so closely reeemblo the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to' give a special caution against the ÜBe 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; WALWOBTH BUEBEY, are engraved oa the Government Stamp affixed to each paoket. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, JbHir Stbedman, Chemist, "Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

Consults— On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cauee arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On.all diseases arising from early indieoretionß. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us~ with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings i 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 be 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 oareful man makes enquiries as their .standing, their length of occupancy or residence 5 and, in the case 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, ure ruined in heaith, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope 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 i Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and expoied the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt .Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pboved to' be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to (five those who require the 'services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally 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 praotice on NEEYOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND EHEUMATISM.
