Dear Friends—Wo 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 j 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 s Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolnte 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 onr Haydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Yials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Baydock’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. Cso, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remark >ble dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- I 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 petitionei, although he is gnoble and unworthy to be in your high ipresence, prays that yon will graciously permit your Life gr >ns (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mo-t learned and wise Physician Haylock (Haydock) 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, Tnaxx. Fanaibereranciel. Oarmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Dr J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suffered for years with billiouaness and have been so sick at times as not to care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from me only two of your Pills, and I 1 wish you could see him. He has had no i appetite for five months, and to-day he , ate a dinner such as api ughman eats. I had to check him, but he laughed and said he was-treating his stomach to a new ‘ sensation, for it really was hungry. I J hand you with this four dollars. Please * send at once, a below, your Pills. ] Mbs Sabah Manners, Carmi, Illinois, U. S. 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 w New Liver Pills are the true grains and 0 essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. B For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, t General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and j Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver n Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. >] Each vial containsliTwenty Pills.

TESTIMONIALS : From Rev. Charles Penny — Reofton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884 _ I am happy to say your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as' invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F. Salter, Esq. , Barrister and Solicitor— Inglia’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 I have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints. From William Reed, Esq. Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lung Preserver in my family for the last fourteen yean, there fore have the greatest pleasure In bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. I have recommended it to my friends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat complaints. I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind. From Isaao Allen Esq. , Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 5, 1883. After seven years’ experience 1 have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, etc., a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. From W. B. Scott, Esq. , Builder, etc., Peterborough street, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest. I did so, and from that time I have never beo;i without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.

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 itniiatei 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 stuft 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 iu 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 wl He label, and Dr Soule s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else.
