Dear Friends —We have so are hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be h looked at in any invidious light, when we e state that it is only our regard for your i- health that causes us to do it. We have 1, been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for « many, many years, and have in the long g course of this time manufactured certain n 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 Haydook 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 s mand is because we find in Haydock’s tr 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 j. Pills used for diseases and claiming much d 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 g 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 n dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place i, the stomach in perfect order creates an y appetite, and renders the spirit light and - buoyant. If the Liver is affected its fane- j tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is .invigorated and e sustained.
