QTEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS )O pob 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 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 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, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Each Single Powder has directions for the doeo, and tim words, John Steedmajj, 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 Kbmpthoekb, Pbossbb, and Co., Auckland. tu)9B6 "18 there no hope ? the sick man Baid The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he said " JSgroto, dum animas est, spes est." DE L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). CO B SUITS — 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 ua witl) 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 points out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Beiore negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with » confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a oureful 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 say, however, in the selection 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 mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, Hob in quite an opposite direotion. Is it aatp,nishi«g that so many are driven mad, aye nu'ned in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hopo and money ? Have I not for years pointod out to them that I, JDr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies'? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expanse, these very quacks, and expoeed tho various nostrums they are selUnjjr'^suQli as Phosphodyne Essence of Ljfp, &c. —and had them analysed and faucci them to consiat of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates j have PBOVED to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of tiie profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my bran,oft an opportunity of knowing they o&n, Qpuault a legally qualified man, and Qae^ moreover, who has made this his esaecia.l study.
