Medical, f\ N E WORD. Dbab Feibkds— We have some hesita- tion In addressing yon m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that It will not be looked at ln any invidious light, when we state that It Is only our tegard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured certain Mediolnes that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precision ln manufacture, have onioyed & popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How sue cessful we havo been ln this, m only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook n 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 becance we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Soienoe — Electrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolul ionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and olalming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootoru, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ond 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 oreates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func- tions are restored, and lf the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Io invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Prov ace of Burmah, 8.1.
