MedlcaL N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have soma 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 acientihc formula and absolute care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Fharmaceu'. 1- cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been In this, is only U note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Hay dock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,0fc9 Vials of Dr Etaydock’s Now Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find in Haydock’ New Liver Pil's a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. dhe Victories of Science— K'ectrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — m\ olctioniced the whole system of the globe, end made maukind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are counties* i ills used for dleeatoo and claiming much ■»a to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haycock has eclipsed them ail, and hue founded n New Medical Spa te!;:. The Doctoic, whose vast doses of tour or five pihu enfeeble the stomach usd paralyse the bowels, must give way to the mau who restore;.- health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. Guo or two of Dr Hay dock's New Liver Pills suffices tc place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and tenders 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.
