Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir Is a remedy of no mean order.

Medical 0 H E WORD. Dbab Fribndb—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 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 cer ‘n Medicines that being based on sclent lo 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 oar Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Baydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Hay dock’ 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 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, mast give way to the man who restores health snd appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr 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 1s affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it la invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykao, Prov see of Burrs ah, 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 (osate) that you would deign to look upon their ignoble miseries and care them with your Life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drag Bazaars are empty and your Soul is not In them.
