We ha? been a Firm of Analytical Chemists fc many, many years, and have in the lon course of this time manufactured certai Medicines that being based on scientit formula and absolute care and precisic in manufacture, have enjoyed a popular!! far in advance of any other Pharmacent cal Preparations of the day. How am cessful we have been in this, is only t note the extraordinary amount of th sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pil ,We have the pleasure to state that w have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock New Liver Pills. The reason of this d« mand is because we find in Haydock New Liver Pills a wonderful and extn ordinary combination of concentrate medicine. The Victories of Science- Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printin —revolutionised the whole system of tb globe, and made mankind wiser and bel ter. So, although there are counties Pills used for diseases and claiming muc as to their merit, the remark .ble die covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed ther all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tern. The Doctors, whose vast doses o four or five pills enfeeble the stomac and paralyze the bowels, must give way t the man who restores health and appetit with one or two of bis extraordinar; Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to plac the stomach in perfect order creates ai appetite, and renders the spirit light am buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervou System is enfeebled, it is .invigorated ant sustained. TRANSLATION.

Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petitioner places his sign, Tnail Fanaibbreranciki, Carmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Dr J. Havdock : Dear Sir—l received you): Pills a week ago. 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 biiiiouanesa and have been 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 ala a dinner such as api ughman eats. I had to check him, but he laughed and said he was treating bis stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. 1 band you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills. Mrs Sarah Manners, Carmi, 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.
