STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS tob CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.

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 YEARS. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARI> APPEARANCE bo 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;— 1st —In .every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOfiTH SURREY, are engraved ca the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John 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 Kbmpthobnb, Pbobbeb, and Co., Auckland. ■ tu1986 "Is there no hope ? the sick man Baid The silent doctor shook his head."

CONSULTS — On ail 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 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 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 point* out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions.

Before negotiating with a merchant, before enguging 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 aay, however, in the selection of medical man, the sufferer frequently omit* these riecessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular salmont requiring treatment, he consults the nearest mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in qr.it© an apposite direction. Is it astonishing that bo many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr J,, Zi. Smith, am the only legally qualvjxoA vKxtieal man advertising in the Colonies $ Have I not, also prosecuted, at raj own expense, these very quacks, i»j>d exposed the various nos« i i truing $fcay ai?e selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Idfe, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugaj and flavoring matter," and the certifioa.te«f 4 have pboved to be all forgeries. \% i&ioe this reason that I step out q{ %b& ethics of the profession and adifestSs©, to give those who require thg aowioea of my branch an oppor- ; tunity 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 ht has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice on NEBVQUS DISEABKB LOSS OF POWfiR AND DKBILIIY SYPHIUTIO AFFECTIONS WANT OB 1 CONDITION GOUT AND BHBUMATISM.
