STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDEBS 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 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 BUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;— lßt—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTB SURREY, are engraved oa the Government Btamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the doße, and the words, John Steebmait, 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 Kempthobnb, Pbosbbb, and 00., Auckland. tu!9BB "Is there no hope P the sick man said The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he said " JEgroto, dutn animas est, spes est," DE L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising): COKBU I I S — On ail affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cauee 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 Bhould 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 ia the viotitn 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; before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; amLin the case of a legal adviser, both as to hisT^al qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the seleotion of medioal 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 niant 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 years pointed out to them that I, J>r L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medioal man advertising in the Colonies I Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essenoe of Life, &o. —and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates 3 have peoved to be all forgeries. It ia 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 espeoial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice oa NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILJ.TIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
