The Victories of Science— Eleotrio 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, the- remarkable diß- oovery of Dr Haydock has eolipaed them all, ftnd has founded ft New Medical Sys- tem. TheDoctoio, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, mast give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ond or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills.
