Diab Pbiihdb— We have some hesita- tion In addressing yon In the manner fol- lowing, bnt hope that It will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we state that iv la only our regard for your health that causes us to do It, We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have In the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on solentifio formula and abaolnte oare and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaoeutl- oal rr^paranonrnof-tbo-TJayr— Hormo- oessful we have bean In this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of om Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pillt, The reason »f this do. mand li beoause we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medlolne. The Victories of Soienoe— Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although : there are countless Pills used- for diseases and claiming muoh as to their merit, tha remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eolipied them ill, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomaoh In perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted itsfuno- tlons are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, It Is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provlaoe of Burmah, 8.1.

Some time since we published a imall paragraph en the unsatisfactory nature of mach of the jam retailed la the colony. This reaohed Messrs Klrkpatrlok ai»d 00., of Nelson, and they went to work In a very practical fashion to prove that the. jams manufactured by the firm were of the beat quality. Two cases of assorted jams were sent to this office, with a re- quest that we would thoroughly test the jam along with other brands, and give oar opinion. vVe are happy to state, frankly and fully tnai we Dt>ve beep very muofa surprised, as prior to the receipt of JVTessra Klrkpatrlok's gift we were anaware that New Zealand oonld boast of an In- dustry of which it has so mnoh reason to be pruod. The various sorts ot'JSff were tested by a number of persons, who compared the samples with other brands. and the general verdict m that got only are Mcaara Kukpatrlck'a production's far aud away better than any other hew Zealand brapd we can obtain, bai they* are superior to ifingliah jama m being fresher. The nearest approaoh to the excellence of the Nelson jam was that contained m tins bearing the name of a Taimanlan firm, bat even In this com- parison thojNelson article came out a long way beat. We are pleased to be able to give unstinted pralae to a genuine local Industry, the produot of which we can unreservedly reoommend to consumers. All of the many persons who have tested the samples are louq Id their pratse, and we mußt unreservedly congratnlate Meaar's Klrkpatrlck and 00. upon taming oo t a genuine fruit jam tit to grace tha tableo and ple»ae the palates of tne moat luxununs and fHst.ldioua.-~" Hawke'a hmy kerald, " .Imy 18th.
