STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS JOB CHILDBEN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PUBCHABEB3. The value of (hit well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all part* of the world, and by au grade* of society, for up wards of FIFTY yEABS. Its Well-earned extensile sale has induoed SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUT* WARD APPEABANCE so closely resemble the original as to bare 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 JOHN--BTEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH BUBBEY, are engraved en the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Joftq Studxak, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

On all broken-down constitutions. " On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those exoesses which'we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest., Our regret! 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 ttiat sooner or later his vices will discover him to Abe 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 bre^ak 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 jm 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.' 1 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, experience i and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consnUa 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, hojio and money P Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L.

It is for this ' reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the sertioes of my branch s% opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who ha* "'made this his especial study. \ ' ■';.
