STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDIBB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well known Family Medi* cine has been, largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABS. Its well-earned eztensire sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUT* WARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to hare deceived many pur* chasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the publio to give a special caution •gainst the use of SUCH IMITATIONS.

On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indisore* tions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. , In these colonies those excesses which we hare 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 possest of remedying the ills we already hare, 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 clerkj before employing a barrister, a oareful man makes enquiries as their-standing, their length of occupancy or residence i. and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to hip 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 neceittary 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 net for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Coloiuet 1 Have. I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoied the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, Ac—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pbovbd 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 opportuuity of knowing they can consult % legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hai 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 praotioe on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. Da L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter—Fee, £1. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. ■ Db L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street, East (Lat the Residence of the Governor) MiUOTWB, 647
