STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS '„.'• POB ■■..■■■ . :> CBILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. ] The value of this well known Family Medi* cine 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 OUTWABD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceiyed 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 ;-— y Ist—ln every case the words, JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has direction! for the dose, and the words, John Btkbdmar, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.

Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already lave, 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, wo 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 pase of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as tp hie 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 diyeotjqa. Is it ast^isbiag that so many are driven

mad, are mined in health, and are bankrupt lin spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that Jf, Dr £. L. Smith, am the only Ugg.lly qualified medicai man qdverHting in the Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &o.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates. 5 have PBOT£» 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 eerrices of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag made this hit especial study. Dr J/.
