QTEEPMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS O- JOB CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of thie well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up j words of FIFTY YEABS. Its well-earned ! extensive sale hue 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 giro a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to obserTe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine;— Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved oa the Government; Btamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, Johk Steedman, Chemist, Wai worth, Surrey, printed thereon.

On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged iv " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repining* futile. The sole idea should be the chances we posses* of remedying the ills we already have, (or 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 rices 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. 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 an to his legal qualifications and as to bis capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical mun, the eutferer 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 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, hopo 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 I Have I not also prosecuted,, at, my own expense, these veiy quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—snob ac Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &c— and had them analysed and found them to consist of *' Burnt Sugar and flavoring jr,atter," and the certificates I bave pbovbd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I stop out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the serf ices of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this bis especial study. i 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 OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. DsL. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter—Fee, £1. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. I)b L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street, E«t (Lat the Residence of the Governor) Uvnomn, 647
