Dear Friends —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner'fal lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we 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 absolnte care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations, of the day. flow suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock a 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 Now Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electqc Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. iSo, 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 i 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. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1. 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 t« look upon their ignoble miseries and cure them with your Life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars are empty and your Soul is not in them. This humble petitionet, although ho is gnoble and unworthy to bo in your high Ipresence, prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr ; ns (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mlearned and wise Physician Haylock (Haydock) of high name. Native to the States of America, united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petititioner places his sign, Tnail Fanaibereeanciel. Carmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Dr J. Haydock : Dear Sir —I received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that I never had so much good done by anything as they have me, I have suffered for years with billiouaneas 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 five months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as api ugbman eats. 1 had to check him, but he laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I hand you with this four* dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills. Mrs Sarah Manners, Carmi, Illinois, U. S. We would gue you if we were to go on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice. Haydock’s New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and fick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy.

Baxter’s Lung Preserver has been es tablished over a quarter of a century, and patronised by all ranks of society, and enjoys a success unparalleled. Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, EPFCTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BY BAXTER'S Lung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS : From Rev. Charles 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. Saltbe, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglis’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 1 have nsed 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 nsed your Lung Preserver in my familysfor the last fourteen years, there fore have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment 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 la 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 chest, 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 moat palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. From W. B. Scott, Esq. , Builder, etc., Peterborough street, Christchurch, December 4, 1833. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest.
