Dbab Fbiindb- We have some hesita- tion m addressing you In the manner fol- lowing, but hope that It will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we state that it Is only our kegard, for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for I many, many years and have m the long oourse of this time manufactured oertain Mediolnes that being based on ooientltio formula and abaolnte oare and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the 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 1b beoauae we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medloine. The Viotorles of Science— Eleotrio 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 muoh as to their merit, the remarkablo din- oovery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootors, whose vast doses of four or five pill* enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who reatoros health and appetite with o&d or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfeot order oreatea an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System 1b enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Proviace of Burmah, 8.1.
