Medical Q N E WORD. Dear Friends—We 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 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 sue oessful we have been In this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill. Wo 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 remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock lias 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 Dy 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.

Tnail Fanaibeberanoiel. Carmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Db J. Haydock : Dear Isir—l received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that I never had $o much good done by anything as they have me. I have autlered /or years with billiouaness and have been so sick at times as not to

He has had no 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 hand you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills Mrs Sabah Manners, Oarmi, 'lllinois, 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.

I am happy to say your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and c aldron 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 oases could be cited, but - these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy o£ no mean order. - From C. F.
