Dsab Fribwds— We have some hesita- tion m addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that It will not be looked at m any invidious light, when we state that it Is only our kegardfor your healtfi 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 oertain Medlolnea that being based on scientific formula and absolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaoeuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been In this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook o .Now Liver Pill, We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find m Haydook 1 New Liver PUls a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medioine. The Victories of Soienoe — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. Ho, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and olaimlng muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpaed them 1 all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Doctor*, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfoeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with o&4 or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomaoh In perfeot order oreatea .an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver Is affected its f uno- tlons are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.
