How su J cessful we have been in this, is only I note the extraordinary amount of tb sales of oar Haydock s New Liver Pil We have the pleasure to state that v :e have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock s’ New Liver Pills. The reason of this di ;r maud is because we find in Haydock 5. New Liver Pills a wonderful and extn >r ordinary combination of concentrate d medicine. The Victories of Soience iT t Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printii 5 —revolutionised the whole system of tl globe, and made mankind wiser and be ter. So, although there are countlei 5 Pills used for diseases and claiming mac as to their merit, the remark ible di ie covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed thei !S all, and has founded a New Medical Syi t, tern. The Doctors, whose vast doses c ie four or five pills enfeeble the stomac and paralyze the bowels, must give way t s the man who restores health and appetil with one or two of his extraordinar Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Ha) : dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to plac the stomach in perfect order creates a , s appetite, and renders the spirit light an buoyant.

KEATING, London The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is 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 world 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 “Heps ” 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 on 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 'TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDEES > FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
