STIEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS 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 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 pur« chasers. . 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;— Ist—ln every case the words JOHH STEEDMAIJ, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH BURRSY, are engraved ca the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder ■ has directions for the dose, and the words, John Stebdmah, Chemist, Walworfch» Surrey, printed thereon.

' 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.

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 consults 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 spirits, 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 ihe Colonies ■? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &c.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates ] have pboyjjd 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 aei'vipes of my branch an opportunity of knowing they oan consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag made this his especial study.
