Medical. Q N E WORD, Dear Friends— We have so ae hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only out regard for your health that causes.ua 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 our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Baydock’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 Haydook 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 readers the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its funo- I tions are restored, and if the Nervous I System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained.

B [any others started nostrums put up in si«ni flat style to H. 8., with variously devise 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.
