STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS FOB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The -value of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in Ml 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;— . . •: ; lBt —In every .case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved ott the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, JoHZT Stebdk AN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two EE'g. ' < 4th—The manufactures.is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors. , . 1 Sola by Kbmpthobhb, Pbosbbb, and 00., Auckland.

On. all diseases arising from early indisore* ' tions. , ' - On Gout. On Rheumatism.- , In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets aye 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 be is a living Ho, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large^fche 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 a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a oareful man mukee enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the oase of a legal advisor, both as to his legal qualifications aud 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 regard to the fitness, qualification, experience ■and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consult* the nearest mant 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 spiritß, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have T sot also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phasphodyne Essence a/Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates! have fbovep to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethios of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the lomoes of my branoh an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OP POWER..AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AUCTIONS WANT O# CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
