STEEBMAN'B SOOTHINGPOWDERS FOR CUTTING TEETH CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. fIIHB v&lae *ot this well-knowa Family Medicine has been largely tested in all X. parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of lIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned, extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITA TIONS, 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 IMITA TIONS. Purchasers we therefore requested to carefully obsene the four following im portant characteristics, Without which none is genuine :— lst.—ln avery 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, Jobs Stmdmah, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon.
