PRINTERS & BOOKBINDERS, &c. GUARDI A . Medical. Q N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have sojie hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only oar 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 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 Haydock s 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 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 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 I buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained.

r ! Proprietor, THOS. KEATING, London e - Y The Bad and Worthless ' are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es penally true of a family medicine, and it is “ positive proof that the remedy imitated is of ir the highest value. As soon as it has been i- 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 L) 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 i, lo 1136 their stuff instead, expecting to make _ money on the credit and good name of H. B 3 Many others started nostrums put up in simi i lar style to H. 8., with variously devise y names in which the word “ Hop ’ or ‘‘Hops " were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no mgtt»r 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, I with a bunch or cluster of green • Hops on the . wf 'te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in - r th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing iu im ta ions or counterfeit gTEEDMAN’S CHILDREN SOOTHING POWDEbS itor CUTTING TEETH.
