Dbab Friiitds— We have some hesita- tion m addressing you ln 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 .regard Jot your health that clauses us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Ohemlsts for many, many years and have ln the long course of this time manufactured oertaln Medioineß that being based on solentiiio formula and absolnte 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 ln this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the rales of onr 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 is beoause we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medioine. The Victories of Solenoe — Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountless PUIs used for diseases and olalming muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse tne bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomaoh In perfeot order oreates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System ia enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Pro via cc of Burmah, 8.1.
