STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS FOB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well known Family Mcdi« 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 OUTWARD APPEARANCE bo closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feelß 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, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Johk Steedman, 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 Kkmpthobnb, Pbosbeb, and 00., Auckland. tu1.986 11 Is there no hope ? the sick man said The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he said " MgroiO) dum animas est, spes est." T\K L. L. SMITH \J (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). COKBTII 8 — On all affections of : the NervoUß System) no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutionsi 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 repining futile. The sole idea should be the chance 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 that sooner ov later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large 4 the welfare of our future offspring, and the duty, we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to ua, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before I employing a barrister, a cureful man makes | enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence j and, in the oaae 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 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 mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing tkat bo many are driven mad, a?e ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, I}? L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in i];s Colonies ? Have I not alsp prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodvna Essence, of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of '^ Burnt Sugar and flavoring ma.ttey," oad the certificateßt have ?so7Eij t 0 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. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and ho ftW been in Melbourne 24 years;, in lull practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT O¥ CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
