Diab Fbibnds — We have some hesita- tion In addressing you In the manner fol- lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we itate that it la only our regard for your lealth that oauses us to do- it. We have >een a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long jourae of this time manufactured oertaln iledloineß that being based on soientino ormula and abaolnte oare and precision n manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity : ar m advanoe of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How buc- Tewsful we have been In this, Is only to iote the extraordinary amount of the lales of our Hay dock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we lave sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Hay dock 'a Sew Liver Pills. The reason of this de. jaand Is because we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medicine. The Vlotorles of Soienoe — Electric 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 disease* and claiming muoh v to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them .ill, and has founded a New Medioal Sys- tem. The Doctor*, whose vast doses of four or five pllla enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, mast give way to the man who restores health and appetite with o&4 or two of hla extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay. dook'a New Liver Pllla suffices to place the stomach In perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit lfght and buoyant. If the Liver la affooted ita func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, It Is Invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provisce of Burmah, 8.1.
