Diab Friiitds — Wehavesoiae hesita- tion In addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that It will not be looked &t in any Invidious light, when we state that lv is only our kegard for your health that oauses us to do it. We nave been a Firm of Anftlytloal Chemists for many, many years and have In the long courae of this time manufactured certain Medicines thab being based on scientific formula and absolnte oare and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Ph&rmaoauti- oal Preparations of the day. How suo- oessful wo have bean m this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of oar Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleaauEi to strte that we have sold 28,088 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pill*. The reason af this de. mand is beoause we ■ find m Haydock 1 New Liver Pills a -wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Solenoe — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are countleas Pills used for diseases and olalmlng muoh. as to their merit, tb.6 remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has ijunded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse wo bowels, most give way to the man who restorer health and appetite with ono or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach In perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is anepted its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is la rigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. - -■ Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

J. F. Strata THE TWO GBEAT Canadian Cures. (A Family Secret.) E. P. DUFLOT, D.D.S., Proprietor. No. I—Canadian1 — Canadian Perfume. No 2— -Canadian anti- Bilious Precious Tonic Powder. FOB hundreds of yean, all Europe, Asia and Ame'ioa havo known what popu- larity and repute the " Two Great Canadian Remedies " have jartly acquired from the eno. cevefnl reenltß -wbi^h have been obtained daily m curing Fains, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Arth- ritis, Paralysis, and m the prompt and radical cnrea of Bores, Woanda, Cuts, Barns, etc; A few frictions, dressings or doses are generally sufficient to mike a complete Cure, and thm enable the sufferer* to resume their usual occupations. Duflot'b " Two Great Canadian Cures " are compounded exclusively of expensive aromatic and bahamio plants, herbs, roots, barks and fliwers. They are nneaual'ed for restoring strength to parsons Buffering from debil.ty, youth and virility to the old, and for strength- ening children, whom the) help to develope m a meat extraordinary manner during their growth and when teething. It is certain that our forefathers] were stronger, more robust, and less subject to ailments than we are. They owed their ad' vantage, no doubt, to the hygienio rules they had the habit of observing. They were ac- customed to the daily mo of oils, pomatum, perfume, etc., which h»ve the property of establishing and accelerating the circulation of the blood. On good circulation of the blood depend health, strength, life ; the diverse functions of our body have to follow their coarse, and by protecting ourselves from transient indisposi- tions we avoid serioui illness. Even science, by its most illustrious representative persons, is ignorant jet of these oils, pomatum, per- fume, etc.. that were used by our ancestors, and ruobed all over, wh'ch kept them m the best of health. Dufliot's " Two Great Canadian Cures " are theße ointments and perfumed remedies. They were imported to Europe by our family, who discovered the secret of their ingredients, and of their manufacture, and have benevolently distributed them to friends and acquaintances, and to such as have been lncky encugh to obtain them, and many times has the diECOverer and importer been entreated to do an act of humanity m supplying the needy public with them. Our duty to day i« to make a great circulation of them, and to make them known all over the world.
