We have been a Firm of Analytical Ohemlata for many, many years and have In the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being ' baaed on solentlbo formula and absolnte care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day.

We have the pleasure to strte that we i have sold 28,089 Ylals of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pilk The reason of this de- mand Is beoauae we find m Haydook' New LJver Pills a wonderful and extra • ordinary combination of oonoentrated medicine. The Viotorles of Scienoe — Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing 1 — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wlaer and bet- ter. So, although there are countless Pills uoed for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the, remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- '• tern. TheDootoiß, whose vast doses of four pr five nlllfl enfeeble the stomach and paralyie the bowels, must give way to the man who restored health and appetite with on«J of two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.
