Dear Friends—We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal lowing, but' hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only our regard for youi health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists foi many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certau Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precisior in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How sue cessful we have been in this, is only tc note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that wc have sold 28,G89 Vials of Dr Haydock’f New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydock’f New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. Th 6 Victories of Science- Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remark ible dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Pfovluoa of Burmah, 8.1. d Honored and Learned Physician—The » unworthy one who dares to address you and come before you humbly in the dust, begs for his people (caste) that you would , deign to look upon their ignoble miseries ’t and cure them with your Life-giving e grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars a are empty and your Soul is not in them. r This humble petitioner, although he is . gnoble and unworthy to be in your high {presence, prays that you will graciously peiimt your Life gr s us (tills) to come to 1 Aykab. To the nm-t learned and wise ’ Physician Haylock (Haydock) of high , name. Native to the States of America, ‘ united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petititiuner places his ' sign ’ ; Tnail Fanaibeberanciel, Oarmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Dr J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that I never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suffered for years with biliiousuess and have been so sick at times as not .to care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man hero has taken from me only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for five months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as api ughman eats. 1 had to check him, but he laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I hand you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills. Mrs Sarah Manners, Oarmi, Illinois, U.S, We would gue you if we were to go on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice. Haydock’s New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. , For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, , General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver j Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. > Bach vial contains Twenty Pills.

In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to shONt*. that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F.
