Medical. Q N B WORD. Dear Friends —We have some hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, bat hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when wo state that it is only onr wegard 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 acieutiho 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, la 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 Vlala of Dr Haydock’a New Liver Fills. The reason of this de mand 1b because wo find In Haydock’ Now Liver Pills a wonderful and esira ordinary combination of concentrated medicine, The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system ox the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming mnoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydook 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 paralyse 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 snllices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver 1s affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, It is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provln.ee of Burmah, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address you and ocme 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 cue your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaara are empty and your Soul is not In them. This humble petitioner, although he is lowly and net worthy to be in your high presence prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr 'ns (Pills) to come to Aykab.
