N E W O R D. Dear Friends —We have some 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 lime manufactured certain Medicines that being based 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 Haydock’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 dnd 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 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 to 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 petitioner, although he is gnoble and unworthy to be in your high {presence, prays that yon will graciously permit your Life gr ; ns (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the rm>.* learned and wise Physician Haylook (Haydook) of high name. Native to the States of America, united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petitioner places his sign, m Dr J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Fills a week ago. 1 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 billiousness and have been so sick at times as not to care *o live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from me 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 ughman eats. I had to check him, but h laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I band you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills 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 Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains Twenty Pills. Price Twenty-five Gents. For sale by all Drug gists. Any sceptic can have a vial of Fills Sent him Free on receipt of his name and address, for a trial. Send a postal card for copy of pamphlet—“ The Liver and its Mystery.” It furnishes valuable information to all. Caution I —Druggists are desired to no tice that the name of J. H.

Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in tw buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sbeap. This admits the most economial as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock By its use the former can secure the health of bis stock at the rate of |* per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pro paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpt of the Horticulturist; and it Is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener :n Europe, America, and the British possessions In all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all,household pests, such as bags, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fan »'i&' insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simol and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can »!«/* fa dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a shea of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in anv form and «.* therefore perfectly safe; The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00.
