QIS E WORD. Dbar Fbikndb —We have some hesita tion In addressing yon In the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it la only onr 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 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 Vials of Dr Haydock’s Now Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find la Haydock’ New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science — Electric Tc legraphs, 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 Hayuook has eclipsed them | all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctoru, whose vast doses of four or five pllis enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, mast 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 tc 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. TRANSLATION, Aykab, Provfcaao of Burmab, £.l.

I am happy to say'your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children 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 fntnre to .take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, bat these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir Is a remedy of no moan order.
