We have been a Firm of Analytical Ohemlats for many, many years and have m the long oourae of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on solentlfie formula and absolute care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaoeutl- oal Preparations of the day. How suo- oessful we have be?n m this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the rales of our Haydooks New Lives Pill. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,083 Vlala of thr Haydock's New Liver Pllla, The reason vt this de. mand !a because we ' find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra j ordinary combination of concentrated medicine, The Viotortei of Solenoe— Electrlo Telegraphs, Stetmand Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountless Pllli used for diseases and elalming mubh M to their merit, the remarkable dls- oovery of Dr Haydook has eollpied them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh- and paralyie the bowels, most give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<j or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay. dock's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach In 'perfect order creates an appetite, and renders' tHe spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver Is afifected its func- tions are 'restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is larlgorated and instalned, ' TRANSLATION.

During the period I obtained medical advice' Und trud the proscribed remedies, but without any benefit for my knee continued as weak as ever until I tried the Canadian Ouies. Applying the Canadian remedies according to directions I soon found my knee brooming stronger, and m n ehort time I was enabled to abandon tho knee cap.
