(For extended pedigree see English and Australian stud books ) Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten m England. The dam of this horse being by Fisherman shows his grand blood, as a study of the stud book will show that Musket's great success has been from Australian bred mareß, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordenfelt, and Trenton, ar* al descended from Fisherman on the dams Bide.

We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of thia time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on aolentifio formula and absolnte oare and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far In advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been m this, la only to cote the extraordinary amount of the sales of onr Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have aold 28,089 Vials of Dr HaydookV New Liver Pills. The reason of this de- mand 1b because we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful aud extra ordinary combination of concentrated mediolne. The Viotorles of Solence— Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole Bystem fof the globe, and made mankind wiser and bat- ter. So, although there are countless Pills ÜBed for dlseasea and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook haa eolipßcd them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five plliv enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, -must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with or»4 or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills aujStcoa to plaoe the stomaoh m perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver 1b affeoted its f uno- tlona are restored, and if the Nervous System la enfeebled, It la invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Prov soe of Burmah, 8.1.
