S 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:— : A'.i ' ; Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, 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.

GRATEFUL—COMFORTING. gPPS’S BREAKFAST COCOA. “By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately-flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors’ bills. It is by ttie judi< cious use of such articles of diet, that a constitu tion may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating arcund us, ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fata jshaft by keeping.ourselves well fortified with puiebleod and a properly nourished frame.” —The Cizii Service Gazette. t SOLD ONLY IN PACKETS LABELLED JAM E S EPPS AND C O Homoepathic Chemists, London.

Sir, —I have been troubled with Liver Complain these last six years, many times not being able to attend to work. I have tried everything in the shape of patent medicines. I have been an outdoor patient in the Hospi tal ; I got at times temporary relief. I could not sleep on my left side ; I kept rolling about backwards and forwards in bed. When I got up in the morning, I would rather be in bed but work I had to attend to. Whe.i I had eaten a light meal I found it always lodged in my stomach. Always costive, a great palpi tation, pains across the chest, more particu larly under the left breast, always a violent pain between the shoulders, felt just the same las if any one : was pouring water down nty [back, feet always cold. Happened to get one iof your bills when you came to St. Asaph (street, which explained to me the symptoms I jwas laboring under. When I applied to you, jyou told me all my symptoms, and guaranteed jme a perfect cure, which, I am happy to say, |you have done through your herbal treatment. II should recommend those troubled with Liver [Complaint ta place themselves under your 1 I am, Sir, Truly thankful, William Manson. _____ Colombo Street, April 21, 1879. To Professor Guscott. Si R,--I have been troubled with Dysentery for the last three months, so much so that I was perfectly exhausted, the linings of my intestines peeled away in flakes. I tried every remedy that I could hear of, but to no purpose. Hearing that you were in Christchurch, and seeing Ihe many wonderful cures, was induced to place myself under your treatment, and I am happy to say in one week I am free from the diarrhoea, and gaining strength from your herbal treatment. I am, yours respectfully, Ellen Brown. I give you this testimonial for the benefit o others, as I know there are a great many others, suffering from the same complaint in Christchurch! Bordugh Hotel, Manchester Street, Christchurch, April 21, 1879. To Professor Guscott. Sir,--I have been troubled with Sciataca and Rh-umatism since the commencement cf the West Coast diggings in 1864, where I had to leave through medical advice, and went to ! Melbourne, and thence to Sydney, and then I thought I would try the tropical - climate of Queensland, and only found "temporary relief. ’ I came, to Christchnrch, and - tried., doctors of the best, .medical repute,- and . goP no. better. Thinking that it was useless to go_any further. I gave up all hopes of being restored jp I could' scarcely walk; -and staying at-.^p v he advised me to consult you, : aficl J-iamTajopy I to. say.

When I came to'ydu yOu told; me all my symptoms, which, gave mes confidence, to place myself under your treatment, and, being a believer in herbs, and seeing the large* assortment in your establishment, and also.jjhe references from >. other sufferers . as myself, in looking back to the tithe of my ; suffering so long, and spending so much money without receiving any benefit from the 'treat ment until I applied to you.—l remain, - yoUrs ever thankful, .... .

Sir,-— I have to jmform you that I. to return home after your treatment of 4 weeks*’ duration, having been troubled . with' dropsy. 1 this last 4 years. I Have been tapped . t\yice;'C I have been under the doctors in Oamarii, and’ also in Dunedin, and never received'any bfepe fit from their treatment. When my sister : called on you last April you told'her ifTAvould. came to St. Kilda and stop!-with her-you ; would: treat me for a fortnight free of charge, and after that time, if I were no better, you .would require no payment; but lam happy to inform you that I feel as well as ever I' felt;' and free of dropsy, andean eat and sleep.well.

Yours ever grateful, H. B. Williams, Tuam street/ Christchurch. To Professor Guscott, Sir, —Having far the last four years suffered from bad eyes, being totally blind in one, and from using a solution of nitrate of silver as a lotion, which had penetrated my whole system, causing me the most acute pains, which, added to rheumatism, prevented my sleeping at night, and rendered my life absolutely burdensome to, me, I have consulted and been treated by doc-; tors in different parts of Canterbury, as also, irt the Christchurch Hospital, but without obtain ing the slightest relief. - Determined to leave no stone unturned while the smallest chance remained of an abatement of jmy sufferings. T; applied to you immediately I heard pPypur arrival, and the cure which you have effected would seem to many incredible, but as I am' still here a living proef of the success; fofi your treatment, as can only ; be testified by jhundreds; in Christchurch, wh® knowing what I was like, for so" long up “to a week '.ago, 1 ’ look with , astonishment at the change which you have, wrought, .Wishing you many years of liappif ness and ; prosperity in pursuing your useful. career, I am, dear .Sir, '.yours respectfully, < Patrick Burns.
