STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS iob , - CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of tbia well known Family Medicine 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 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 observe the four following distinctive characteristics,, without which none are genuine;— . Ist—ln every case the words . JOHI STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH SURREY, are engraved en the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, JoHir Sxbbdiux, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedman 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 EjtxpTHOBXU, Pbomxb, and Co., Auckland. . . tu1986 i "Is there no hope ? the sick man said ." ( The silent doctor shook his head."

In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. ' ' Our, regrets are useless,' our repining* 1 futile. The sole idea should be the chances' we posses* of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effect* likely to result. Hide it as he may, put pn 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 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 theae 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 P Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. It. Smith, am the only legally qualified mdieal man advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoced 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 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 made this his .especial study. * > ' .
