Diab Feibitos— We have soi ue hesita- tion In addressing yon In the manner fol- lowing, bnt hope that it will not be looked at In any Invidious light, when we state that li Is only onr (regard Jon your health that oauses us to do it, We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of thla time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and abaolnte care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advenoa of any other Pharmaoeuti* oal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have be an m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of out Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to strta that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Di Haydook's New Liver Pllk The reason »f this de> mand li because we find In Haydook' New Livei Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary eombbatlon of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Eleotrlo 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 dls- oovery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootors, whose vast doses of font oi five pills enfeeble the stomach ! and paralyse the bowels, mast give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ono or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One oi two of Dv 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 affeoted its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it li hwigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.
