Medical. 0 N E WORD. Dear Friends— We have ao.ue 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 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 £n 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 Haydock a 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 Haydock’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 Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys | tern. 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 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.

I This humble petitioner, although he is gnoble and unworthy to be in your high Ipresence, prays that you will graciously permit your Life g r : ns (Pills) to come to Aykab.

Hr Many, others started nostrums put up in sun! lar 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. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those" with the word “ Hop ” or •• Hops ” m that name or in any way connected with them at their name, are imitations or counterfeits; Be ware of them. Touch none of theau Use. nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops paths w v 'te label, and Dr Soule s name blown in tA glass. Trust nothing else.
