Diab Fhiikds— We have soi ac" hesita- tion In addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we state that X la only oar kegard ,for your health that oauses us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for t many, many years and have m the long b course of this time manufactured oertaln I Medlolnes that being based on scientific D formula and absolnte care acd preoislon ' m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity * far m advance of any other PharmaoeutU oal Preparations of the day. How nuo» ;e oessful 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 pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Di Haydock'e X New Liver Pilla. The reason of this de. i mand is because we find In Haydook' d New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary eooblcatlon of concentrated medlolne. The Tiotories of Solenoe— Eleotrlo Telographs, Steam and Printing ' — revolationlsed the whole system of the ! globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are countless ' Pills uaed for diseases and olaimlng much U as to their merit, the remarkable dls- oovery of Dr Haydook has eolipaed them all, and has founded a New Medloal Sys- tem. TheDootors, whose vast doses of four ov five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, mast give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one ov two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dv Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe ihe stomaoh In perfect erder creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its f uno- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provisos of Bnrmah, 8.1.
