The Victories of Soience— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolctioniead the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, although there are countless Pilla need for dieessuo and olalming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haytiook has eollpaed them all, and has founded » New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the 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 Di H»y- dook's New Lives Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach ia perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and] buoyant. If the Liver Is affected its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System Is enfeebled, it li iarigortted and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Bnrmah, 8.1.
