STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS FOR CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. 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 YEARS Its well-earned, extensive sale has indoced 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 give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS Purchasers are therefore requested to carefully observe the four following important characteristics, without which none are genuine :— j Ist.—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, "WAL WORTH, 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—i-The name, Steedman, is always spelt with two EE'S. 4th.—The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey.
