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,. 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.

It is by tne 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.
