We havi been a Firm of Analytical Chemists foi many, many years, and have in the lonj course of this time manufactured certan i Medicines that being based on scientifii formula and absolute care and precisior in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How sue cessful we have been in this, is only t< note the extraordinary amount of th< sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill We have the pleasure to state that w< have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook’i New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydock’i New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentratec medicine. The Victories of Science- Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system .of thi globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are counties; Pills used for diseases and claiming mud as to their merit, the remark.ble dia covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed then all, and has founded a New Medical SyS' tern. The Doctors, whose vast doses oJ four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way tc 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. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

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 moat 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 0. F.

KEATING, London The Bad and Worthless V V are never imitated or countered,. This la 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 been tested and proved by the whole woHd 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 ,H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff 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 ‘‘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 oa the w* ; te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing in im ta ions or counterfeit-’ gTEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS . FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
