Dear Friends—Wo have so.ne hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when wo state that it is only our regard for your 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 Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute 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 note the extraordinary amount of the sales of oar Haydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydock’s New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated 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 Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a 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. 9 1718 Medical. N E WORD.

TESTIMONIALS ; From Rev. Chabi.es Penny— Reefton (Late of Christchurch), 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. Salteb, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglis’ Buildings, Ohristchurch. 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.

I shall on all occasions have great pleasure .in recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind. From Isaac Allen Esq. , Commission Agent — Hereford street, Christchurch, December 5, 1883. After seven years’ experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, etc., a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and cheat, it does not,, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. *>:o highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. From W. B. Sooxt, Esq, , Builder, etc., Peterborough street, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest I did so, and from that time I have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that Are suf fering from such complaints to try it.

This is es* [t 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 i- tested and proved by the whole world that Hop i, Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in t which the press and the people of the country L had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make il money on the credit and good name of H. B 3 Many others started nostrums put up in siml j lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ’ or “Hops ” ' 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 w f 'te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing in imU ions or counterfeit’ - STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDEPS FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
