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 baaed 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 suo -1 ceasful we have been in this, is only to j note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook a New Liver Pill. • We have the pleasure to state that we ; have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr flaydock’s ’ New Liver Pills, The reason of this de r maud is because we find in Hay dock’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 5 Pills used for diseases and claiming much 3 as to their merit, the remark ible dis ; oovery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them s 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 t dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place t the stomach in perfect order creates an . appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func i tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and ; sustained. TRANSL mON.

Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat. i EFFCTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BY BAXTER’S Liung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS . From Rev. Chahles Penny— Keefion (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. Salter, Esq. , Barrister and Solicitor— Inglia’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 1 have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints. From William Reed, Esq., Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lung Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fora have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment i of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. I have recommended it to my friends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat complaints. I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as I con • aider 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 chest, it does not, 1 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. to highly do we • esteem it that we always keep a supply 3 on hand. 3 From W, B. Scott, Esq. , Builder, etc., r Peterborough street, Christchurch, 3 December 4, 1883. r Some years ago I was recommended to i try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and 1 Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the 3 chest. I did so, and from that time I have 1 never been without it in the house. 1 y have found it to answer in every respect * for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and - would strongly advise those that are suf -3 fering from such complaints to try it. ■ To be had of all Chemists and Store* 3 keepers, in bottles, la 2s 9d, 4a fid 3 and Us each.
