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 JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH, SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. and—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, JonSf S.TEKDUAN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, priced thereon. 3rd —The name, Steedman, is (dways spelt jwith two EE’s. 4th —The manufacture is carried on solely faf Walworth, Surrey.

TTfTHO in Mrs. WINSLOW 1 As this Vv question is frequently asked, we aba'll simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Yast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City.



COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Fills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est Vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the flowers of the camomile. The; will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedy remove the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organfc subser vient to digestion, promote, a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against j the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional . disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selec- I tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor I and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonia in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United .Kingdom in boxes ails lid, 2s 9d, is 6d, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and tiie Australian Colonic*.

[Extract from Telegraph, April 28th.] . What I fluttered for twenty-three years, language fails me to describe. Those suf fering from that distressing complaint bronchitis—are the only ones that can form any idea of it. However, to make the matter short, I have had the, best advice to be obtained, both here and in Cornwall, England, without any beneficial result. Whenat about the lowest ebb, a friend called my attention to Mr Wallis* advertisement in the Star. I called on that gentleman, stated my ease; His answer was—“ I can’t cure you, but cap do you a world of good.” He attended me for a week ; the result astounded me ; within two days he gave me more relief than all the drugs 1 have taken during half a life-time. Although Mr Wallis told me he couldn’t cure me, yet I have been at work three months in splendid health, and still feel first rate. The only apology I can offer you, is that the hun dreds suffering from the same complaint may get relief as'l did.—Yours, etc.,, Johnson Thoiua. Aldred street, Christchurch.



Christchurch, Feb. 14th, 1881. To S. Wallis, Esq., Hydropathist. Sir, —I write the following hoping yon will publish it for the benefit of the public. Some four years ago my wife was taken suddenly ill. I called in a doctor, who at once ' pronounced it 1 rheumatic feyer. He attended her for a short time, and then gave up the case. What to do I did. not know. My wife was screaming with pain, which with lightning rapidity passed from one part of the body, to another, and the doctor having left us to shift for ourselves. In our last extremity, when death seemed inevitable, Mr Denham, coach builder, advised me to apply to you; and if ever a human being was snatched from the jaws of death, my wife was on that occasion. Although you only took a fortnight to cure her, you thoroughly eradicated the disease, root and branch. I remain, yollrs ever obliged, John Herbert, ; Master Butcher. South Town. Belt, Christchurch.



(Copt.) Oxford Terrace, Christchurch, March 7 th, 1881. To Mr. Wallis, Hydropathist. Dear Sir,—l send'you the following to make any use of you like. Some, years’ ago Mrs Sherlock was under the care of an eminent M.D., suffering from a large fluid tumour internally, under his care she gradually grew worse, and was at last reduced to a mere skeleton. In this stage three of the leading doctors in Christchurch held a consultation, finally deciding that nothing could be done for her. In this critical state I placed her under' your care, when, to the astonish msnt of every one that knew her (the doctor included), in two months you com pletely cured her ; and ever since, lam happy to say, she has enjoyed the best of health. Any person- desiring further information can either - apply to Mrs Sherlock, Durham street, or at my photographic rooms, Oxford terrace. I have the honor to remain, YoUrs truly, Wit Sherlock, Photographer.



(Copy.) Strickland street, Cashel stree East, Christchurch. Search Ist. To Mr Wallis, Water Doctor. Sir, —I had intended long, ago to write and inform you that the wonderful cure you effected for me five years since wad'a permanent one, for since that time I have not lost a day’s work through ill health. Tou will remember how for months I had gone almost daily to a surgeon with the usual result (viz., getting worse), the bain in my head so severe■; as to almost drive me out of my mind. As a last resource I was just about going to the hospital, when I heard of you ; fortunately for me l did not go to that institution, for at that time a young man suffering from the same complaint was admitted there. A seton was put in at the back of the neck. That, with other so called medical treatment, very soon affected his eyesight, so much so that when I saw him he was unable to distinguish one color from another. In conclusion, sir, I would say facta are stubborn things. Six weeks under your care turned me out a healthy man—about the same time turned the other young fellow out a corpse. Wishing you every success, I remain, John Wilson, 820 a Carpenter.



VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWBR, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fall in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not I soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read. the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden: “ One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natpuntl. color.” It may bo had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in tpilet articles in the kingdom, at3s. 6d. per bottle.—‘Prepared by HENRY 0.
