We have 1 been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for 1 many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain 1 Medicines that being based oa scientific formula and absolnte care and precision ‘ in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Fharraacenti ' cal Preparations of the day. How sue f cessful we have been in this, is only to j note the extraordinary amount of the 1 sales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. > We have the pleasure to state that we e have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock’s } New Liver Pills. The reason of this de 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— r 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 j as to their merit, the remark ible dis . covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them s all, and has foundeda New Medical Sys , tern. The Doctors, whose vast doses of i 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 1 the stomach in perfect order creates an J appetite, and renders the spirit light and * buoyant. If the Liver is affected its fuac j tiona are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and ; sustained.

KEATING, London The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has 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 Hi 8,, and in everyway trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuft 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 w> ; te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass.
