How sue- oeosful we have be ?n In this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of oar Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasaer io atrte that we have Bold 28,088 Vials of D* Haydock'n New Liver Pill*. The reason of this de- mand 1b beoaase we find In Haydook' New Live* Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Tlotoriea of Solence— • Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, end made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, although there are oonntleaa Pills need for diseases and claiming much aa to their merit, the. Eemstrfkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded ti New Medical Sys- tem. The Doctor**, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the otomaoh and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<* os two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Di Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m 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 is enfeebled, it !• hulgoratod and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provisoe of Burmah, 8.1.
