O. MORRIS HAS ALSO ADDED TO HIS ESTABLISHMENT,

Which is a decided improvement upon the Hearses we hare been accustomed to see. Its appearance is
elegant, and with a pair of first-clam black horses, would do no discredit to the funeral rite, of the upper

'‘ We are pleased to find a decided decrease in the fatal infatuation for the admin.
titration of co-celled soothing medicines to infants, the mournful results of which It
has been sue painful duty an frequently to chronicle. In another column will be
found the report of an inquest that took place at Leeds on the body of a child who
had been poisoned by an overdose of .sothing medicine. We feel it, therefore, incum•
bent upon ni o caution the public against dangerous imitations of that invaluable
medicine, " Stedman's Teething Powdem." Purchasers should be particularly careful
to ask for, and insist on having" Stedman's Teething (not Soothing) Powders." The
" Teething Powder." alone are the original and genuine ' Stedman', Powders, and are
safest for children, as they aontain nothing damp ronsly soothing."
