STEEDMAW'S SOOTHING POWDERS For Children Cutting Teetl\. CAUTION TO PUHCHASEES. 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 upwards of fifty yeaes. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced spurious imitations, some of which in outward appearance so closely j resemble the original as to have decided 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 reque&ted carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are Genuine : — 1. In every case, the words JOHN STEEDMAN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2. Each single powder has directions for the dose, and the words John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3. The name Steedman is always spelt with two"EE's." 4. The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors, at Is lid and 2s 9d each. Sold by Kempthorne, Frosser, and Co., Dunedin, Otago. Specialty X Specialists! Draw on Nature : nfa* compel! y«u tm h«n«ur the acceptance. THIRTY years since, when Dr Smith first commenced practioe here, it was thought by medical men that to be a specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, lik« most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to bi "infra dig." to that profession wherein thi specialty was practised. Lallemand and Bicord in France, and Action in England, were fot years cried down by their medical brethren. Now and for many years past *ihey have been looked up to and quoted by mry man who pretends to have any knowledge of the particulai branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. It was the same with Erasmus Wilson, the " Skin Doqtor," recently knighted by her Majesty. Years since it was the same with Dr L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Ricordj as a specialist. In all cases of diseases and habits whioh produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Eruptions, Prostration, and make human beings invirile, or which unfit them to carry on the purposes of their being, or which demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms of Affections ; in all oi these eases how necessary it is to have the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime to the studying and practising in this one branch of his profession. Hence now, after so many years, all minutiss are familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the general practitionei at once, now, from constant practice and observation, make Dr L. L. Suith master of the subject. The medical profession — that is, the more liberal-minded of them— have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch — oculists, aurists, Byphilio, mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has now some member of the profession who devotes his time to that and to none other. For instance, the "chest doctor" would on no account attend an accouchement, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease requiring speeisl ■kill. Dr L. L. Smith aiks those who require threat* ment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and sterility, whose frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert. Thirty (30) years' practice in this colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the Colonies, but in India, China, Fiji, and even in Bngland, he claims ought to be .sufficient to cause every man or woman requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphilographer, no other medical man has been able to have such large experience as ho possesses, and for other allied affections— such as Nervous Disease — no one in the profer ■ion haa enjoyed so much public confidence.
