Dsab Friends — We have some hesita- tion m addressing yon m tho manner fol- lowing, bnt hope that it will not be looked at m any Invidious light, when wo atato that iv m only our togard for your health that oaneea ua to do it. Wo have been a Firm of Analytical Ohemiata for many, many years and have m the long oourse of thla time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and abaolnta care and precision In mirtraißctnro, havo enjoyed a popularity for m ftdvanoo of any other Ph&rniacentl- cal Preparations of the da;. How suc- cessful we have be an m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the e&lcs of oar Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydoek's New Lives Pllk The reason of this do- mand Is because we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination cf concentrated medicine. The Victories of Solence— 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 ÜBed for dieeaatsa and olaimlng mnoh as to their merit, th& remarkable dis- oovery of Dr Haydook has eolipsed them all, and has founded a New Medioal Sys- tem. The Dootoia, whose vaot doses of four oi five pUla enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<) or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pilla. One or two of Di 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 affected its f uno- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System la enfeebled, it li m. rlgorated and unstained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Bnrmah, 8.1.
