CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this Well known Family Medicine has been large y tested m all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned, extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which m OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the originl as to have deceived many purchasers. The pi-oprietor, therefore, feels it due t the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS Purchasers are therefore requested to carefully observe the foul following important characteristics, without which none are genuiue :— 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—The name, Steedman, is always spelt with two EE'S. 4th.—Th© manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey.
