The Victories of Science— Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountlesi Pills used for diseases and claiming muoh as to their merit, ihe remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has founded a New Medioal Sys- tem. The Dootors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores 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 stomaoh In perfect order oreates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.

FOR hundreds of yearß, all Europe, Asia and America havo known what popu- larity and repute the " Two Great Canadian Remedies " have jaitly acquired from the euc' cevsful results which have been obtained daily iu curing fains, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Arth- ritis, Paralysis, and in the prompt and radical cures of Sores, Wounds, Outs, Burns, etci A few frictions, dressings or doses are generally sufficient to m»ke a complete Cure, and thu* enable the sufferer* to resume their usual occupations, Duflot's " Two Groat Canadian Cures " are compounded exclusively of expensive aromatic and balsamic plants, herbs, rootß, barks and flowers. They are unequalled for restoring Birength to persons srffering from debility, youth and virility to the old, and for strength- ening children, whom the. help to develope in a most extraordinary manner during tluir 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 hygienic rules they had the iabit of observing. They were ac- customed to the daily use of oils, pomatum, perfume, etoi, which have the property of establishing and accelerating the circulation of the blood, On good circulation of the blood depend health, strength, life ; the diverse fuuetions of our body have to follow their course, and by protecting ourselves from transient indisposi- tions we avoid serious illnees. Even science, by its most iilustrions representative persons, is ignorant yet of theße oik, pomatum, per- fume, etc., that were used by our auc-stors, and ruDbed all over, which kept them in the best of health. Duflot's " Two Great Canadian Oures " are these oirtmenta and perfumed remedies. They were imported to Europe by our family, who discovered the secret of their 1 ingredients, and of their manufacture, nnd have benevolently distributed them to friends and acquaintances, and to Buoh as have been lncky enough to obtain them, and many times haß the discoverer and importer been entreated to do an act of humanity in 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 worldi TEBTIMONIALB. The following are a few of wany hundreds that have been received here, but thousands from all parts may be seen on applicaticn :■— PARALYSIS. My son, George Newton,. now 12 years of age, has suffered from Paralyßia from ohild- hoodi and never walked in his li'e without crushes till ym treated him with your won- derful Canadian mtdioine. He ia now com- pletely cured. r Gkoroh Newton, No. 2, Worcester etreet, Ohrietchurch. HIP JOIjST DISEASE. Charles Frisk, my boy. whom you treated for Hip Joint Disease, I am pleased to say, is now internally well. He suffered for two years, and during that time he n_ver walked without crutches. «__ yaw > Wooleton Btation, Christchur:hi BLIND OURED. I have been blind for twenty years, but after using your Canadian Perfume and Powder i o? three days lam now able to see. I can read the signs over the etoreß in the streets, some- thing I have uot done for 20 years. " * Miss Grbenfeen, Gilbart Town, Adelaide. CHRONIC RHEUMATISM. I have Bufforad from Rheumatism for th last 18 years, and during the Is at 3 years havo been conunei to a chair, being quit unable to help myself in any way. I used Vour Canadian Medicines, and am now qnite free of the awful pains, and feel quite strong ' and well, and oan walk as well as I ever did in mv life, ' Miss Sutton, Gladstone Btreet, Ohristchuroh. TUMOURS CURED. I had three largo Tnmoura, two on my fore- head, aud one on the bnck of my neck. Toey were quite lavge, each about the size of an egc. I had them for 80 yearß. After using your wonderful Canadian Medicineß for one week tbej have entirely disappeared, . V Mrs B. Jakes, Clarendon Street, Adelaide. 80ROFULA, For the last 4 years I have had a number of running soreß on. my arms, face, and neck. I have been operated en by the Canadian Doc- tor, who successfully removed several pieces of de-d bone from my arm nnd face. I afterwardß used the Ca-adian Medicineß, and am now cured. Clara Backett, Christohurch, DISEASED KNEE-JOINT CURED. Allow me to return you very many thanks for the benefit my little girl has received through üßing your Medicine. She haß been a cripple for the !ast 6 years with a diseased knee-joint, through Blippinj? on a wet floor, lab* has been treated py several doctors, and has been in the hospital here, but all has been of no avail, until you treated her two weeks ago with your Canaoian remedies.
