STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDEBfi JOB > CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. ' The value of this 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 YEABS. 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;— let—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved en the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words) Johx Stbidmah, Chemist, Wai worth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The ncanufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey.

In these colonies those excesses which we have 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 po88e8» 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 5 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 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, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and.money ? Have I not for yenra pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies 1 Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these vety quacks, and expoted the various noetrums 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 bave 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 opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. - Dr L.
