Dear Friends —We have a>> r.a hesita tion in addressing you in the man tug; fol lowing, hut hope chut it will not be looked at iu any invidious light, when we state i hat it is only our regard for your health that, causes ua to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have iu the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of apy other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to oote the extraordinary amount of the sales of our ilaydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,u'89 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. maud is Because we fiua iu Sayduck’ New Liver Pills a wonderful and extras ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Fleutrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills oseo 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 tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, mast 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.
