GrUAJRDIA O N Medical. E WORD.



Dear Friends —We have so me hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol t lowing, bat hope that it will not be j 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 2 many, many years, and have in the long I course of this time manufactured certain 1 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 onr Haydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Yials of Dr Haydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de -3 mand is because we find in Hay dock’s r New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— ‘ Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing 1 —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 j as to their merit, the remark ible dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of 1 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 j 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. i TRANSLATION. 1 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 you will graciously permit your Life gr ; us (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mi 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 Petititioner places his sign, Tnaix. Fanaibereranoiel. Carmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Db J. Haydock : Dear Sir —I received your Pills a week ago. 1 have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. 1 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. 1 had to check him, but he 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 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 , New Liver Pills are the true grains and , essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. f For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, 4 General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and j Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver , Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. >] Each vial contains Twenty Pills. Price Twenty-five Cents, For sale by all Drug- £ gists. Any sceptic can have a vial of a Pills Sent him Free on receipt of his j name and address, for a trial.

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 everyway 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 devise 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 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 wt : 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’’
