So, although there are countless Pills used for dleeasuo and claiming much as to their merit, the. remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootoid, whose vast doses of four or five pills 'enfeeble the etomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restore* health and appetite with one oi two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of D» Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.
