Medical Q N B WORD. Dbak Fbibxds—We have some healta tion in addressing yon 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 onjjclentilio formula and absolute care and precision In manufacture, havounjoyed a popularity far in advance of any ether Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of th« 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 Baydock’a 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 J of the. globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are conotltss Pills used for diseases and claiming mcoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed thsm 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 war to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Eay dook’s New Liver Pills suffices to {lace the stomach in perfect order create* 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 invigorate! and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address yon and come before yon humbly in ths dust, begs for his people (caste) that you would deign to look upon their ignoble niseries and cure them with your Lifegiving grains (Pills).
