STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDEBS 108 CHILDBEN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PUBCHABEBB. The value of this veil known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABB. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD AFFEABANCE 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 JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH BUBBEY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Stbbdkan, Chemist, Walwortb, Surrey, printed thereon.

" While there is life there's hope, he said, " JEgroto, dum animas est, tpesett." DB L. £T~ SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). , ; COW B V 1 X. B — On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cauie arising). On all broken-down constitutions., On all diseases arising from early indisore* tions. On Goat. On Bheumatism. . In these colonies those excesses which we have indu'ged in "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest.Our regrets are useless, our repining* futile. The sole idea should be the chances we posses* 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; "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 us 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 re* gard 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./, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Cdloniei ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and expoted the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phospho'dyne Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I bave pbovkd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that .1 step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an oppor* tunity 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 on NEBVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF PO WEB AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. Da L. L. SMITH can be consulted by let* ter —Fee, £1. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. De L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street, East (I*t the Besidence of the Governor) Uuwronn. .- . - 647
