We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have In the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being baaed on scientific formula tnd abaolnte care and preoißion In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been In .this, Is only to cote the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook s Now 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 because we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medioine. The Victories of Solence-— Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole ssstem of the globe, and made mankind wlUr and bet- ter. So, although there are oountleaa Pills ÜBed for diseases and olaiming muoh as to thoir merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootors, whose vast doses of 'four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, mnst 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 plaoe the stomach m perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and bnoyant. If the Liver Is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is Invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, ProvSsce of Burmah, 8.1.
