STEEDMAH'S SOOTHING POWDERS ■;• JOB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO FUBCHABEBS. The value of this well known Family Medi* doe has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and bj all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned extensive, sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUT* WARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the ■ original as to hare deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to fire 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 JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH iUBBEY, 'are engraved oa the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. W? 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Job. « Stodmax, Chemist, Wai worth, Surrey, printed thereon. Brd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two ES's. 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely at Wslworth, Surrey. Bald in Packets by all Chemist* and Medicine Tendon.

The sole idea should be tbe chances 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 bits 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; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications acd as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to cay, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions anti without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, 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 tht Cfly legally qualified medical man advtrfiring in the Colonies ? Hate I not alsa prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoted the various nostrumi they are selling,—such as Phospuodyne Essence of Life, Ac. —and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar, and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pbotxd to be all forgeries* it is 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 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 en NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF FOvYEa AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHKUMATIStf.
