I duly re ceived the watch, and my son (William Thor burn) has carried it every day since then at his work, riding, etc., and it has never cost him one penny for repairs.

'Q N E WORD. , Dear Friends —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner f ffi -1 lowing, but hope that it will not be ■ looked at in any invidious light, when we r state that it is only our regard for your 1 health that causes us to do it. We have ’ been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for ' many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain 1 Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolnte care and precision [j in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc- ceasful we have been in this, is only to jj note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock a New Diver Pill. ;> We have the pleasure to state that we e have sold 28,089 Yiala of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de r maud is because we find in Haydock’s . Now Liver Pills a wonderful and extra r ordinary combination of concentrated 1 medicine. The Victories of Science— T , 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 3 as to their merit, the remarkable dis e covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them s all, and has founded a New Medical Sys , tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of e four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to s the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay t dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an s appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its fuuc i tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and : sustained. TRANSLATION, t Aykab, Province of F.urmah, B.

I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suffered for years with biliiousness and have boon so sick at times as not to care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here 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. I had to check him, out 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.
