QTEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS O job CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well known Family Medicine haa 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 aretherefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;— Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH (SURREY, are engraved oa the Government Btamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Siekdman, 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 Kbmpthobkb, Pbossbb, and Co., Auckland. tu?9B6 ''Is there no hope ? the sick man said The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he said, " JEgroto, dum animat est, spes est." DS L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising), oo »s v l ts — On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. . , On Gout. On Rheumatism. 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 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 viotim 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 cur 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 st>y, 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 consult* the nearest man whose experience and practioe, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, arc ruined in health, and an bankrupt 1 in spirits, hope and money P Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Coloniei 1 Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoied the various nostrums they are selling,-—such as Pfrojjjhadjaft; EeSSnceTof Lif^e7&<fc sactßitiiad tiiem analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pboved to be all forgeries. It v for this reason, that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the servioes of my branch an oppor* tunityof knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who- baa made this his especial study. . Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 yean, in full praotioe on ' NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF.
