TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS • FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS The value of this well-known Family Medi cine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned exten sive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITA TIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the ori ginal as to have deceived 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 requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine : Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CJIEMIST, WALWORTH, SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet, 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd —The name, Steedman, is always spelt with two EE’s. 4th —The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medi cine Vendors. Sold by Kempthorne, Prosser and Co., HO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this question is frequently asked, we shall 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 hasi com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, surd 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. Vast 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. Auckland.

public. Some four years ago my wife was taken suddenly ill. I called in a doctor, who at once pronounced it rheumatic fever. He attended her for a short time, and then gave np 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, yours ever obliged, John Herbert, Master Batcher. South Town Belt, Christchurch.



(Copy.) Oxford Terrace, Christchurch, March 7th, 1881. To Mr Wallis, Hydropathist. Dear Sir, —I 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 ment of every one that knew her (the doctor included), in two months you com pletely cured her ; and over 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, War.
