Medical. Q N E WORD. Deab Fkibnds —Wo have some hesita tion in addressing yon In the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not bo looked at In any Invidious light, when we state that it is only oar regard lor 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 absolnte 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 our Haydock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr II ay dock’a New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because wo find In Haydock’ 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 much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and baa founded a Now 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 suffices to 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, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

Thk Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is e pecially true of a family medicine, and it positive proof that the remedy imitateds is the highest value. As soon as it ha j bee tested and proves by the whole world that Hop Bitte was the purest, best, and most valuable medicine on earth, many imitations pan began to steal the notices in f bpre and the people of the country ressed the merits of H. 8., and in way trying to induce sufiering invalids their stuff instead, expecting to money cu the credit and good name of H. B Many others started nostrums put up in simi* lar style to H. 8,, with variously devised names in which the word “Hof ‘or “Hops ’ were used in a way to induce p< le to believe hey were the same as Hop Bit All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “ Hop ” or “ Hops ” in thfljjjV name or in any way connected with tl cm their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imita lions «■ counterfeits.
