WAR OR NO WAR?—It gives me reel pleasure, without mixture, without measure, to thank |ny many cus tomers once more at this recurring sea son, and with both rhyme and reason for laying out their money at my store. And, whilst there’s no denying, the times are rather trying, that trade is dull and money scarce enough. I’m proud to have to say, that my friends buy every day, without the aid of advertising puff. Ido not say I slaughter, as indeed 1 did’nt onghter, and below the cost I don’t profess to sell. But in fair play none cm beat me, I give them leave to eat me, who do not think I serve them very welL Now, as might be expected, my stock is well selected, while great variety of goods I have in store. The teas so ably blended, can be well recommended, as has been often ad vertised before. Nelson, Moate and Oo ate showing, how the public taste is grow ! ing for really pure and nicely blended teas.

Medical. 0 M E WORD. Dear Friends —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, bnt hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only onr vegard 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 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 suc cessful we have been In this, Is only to 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 flay dock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydook' I 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 paralyse 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 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 Bnrmab, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address yon and come before yon humbly in the dust, begs for his people (caste) that you would deign t- ’ook upon their ignoble miseries and o 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 bumble petitioner, although he is lowly and not worthy to be in your high presence prays that yon will graciously permit your Life gr *ns (Pills) to come to Aykab.
