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 in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti * cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been in this, is only to j note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill, > We have the pleasure to state that we e have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Day dock’s i* New Liver Pills. The reason of this do r mand is because we find in Haydock’s . New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra r ordinary combination of concentrated 1 medicine. The 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 * Fills used for diseases and claiming much j as to their merit, the remarkable dis . covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them s all, and has founded a New Medical Sys , tern. The Doctors, whoso 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 t 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, Piovluodof Burmah, 8.1. I 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 and cure them with your Life-giving grains (Pills).

I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suffered (or years with billiousness 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 ms only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for live months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as ap! ughman eats.

Chaulks Penny— 1 Reefton (Late of Christchurch), 1 March 17, 1884 I am happy to say your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure - of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable. 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 show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F. Saxtek, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglis’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 I have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints.

r The Bad and Worthless ' are never imitated or counterfeited. This is ea* » pecially true of a family medicine, and it is 1 positive proof that the remedy imitated is of r the highest value. As soon as it has been - tested and proved by the whole world that Hop , Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country ' had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B Many others started nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ’ or *‘Hcps ” were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those . with the word “ Hop ”or Hops ”in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be* ware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the wt : te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing in im ta ions or counterfeit*’ TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING FOWDEBS * FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
