We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on solentifio formula and absolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been In thiß, la only to cote the extraordinary Amount of tho sales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is beoause we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Soience — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system [of. the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. 30, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and olaimlng much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootoro, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, mußt give way to the man who restores, health and appetite with ot») or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's Now Liver Pills suffioes to place the atomach In perf eot order oreateß an appetite, and renderß the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System la enfeebled, It la invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Prov see of Burmah, 8.1.
