We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured oertaln Medioineß that being based on scientific formula and absolute 'care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any othor Pharmaceutl- oal Preparations of the day. How buc- oessful wo have bean m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of tho rales of our Haydook b New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason ,t this de- mand is because ire find m Haydook* New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medioine. The Viotories of Solenoe — Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, although there are oountless Pills used for diseases and olalming muoh as to their merit, tht. 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 givo way to the man who restores health and appetite with ond or two of his extraordinary Vegetablo Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook'a New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomaoh In perfeot order oreates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and If tho Nervous System is enfeebled, it is m ylgoratod and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.
