Medical, f\ N E WORD. Dxab Fbibnds — We have some hesita- tion In addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that It will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we state that It la only our regard for your health that oaunea us to do It. We have besn a Firm of Analytical Ohemiata for many, many years and have m the long course of thla time manufactured certain Medicines that being b&sed on aoloutilio formula and abaolnte care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far In advance of any other Pharmaceuti. oal Preparations of the day. How sue* oessful we have been In this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the cclee of onr Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand Is because we find In Haydook' New Livev PlUa a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Vlotoriea of Soienoe — Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountless Pills used for disease and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootots, whoae vast doses of four of five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with obd or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay. dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfeot order oreates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its funo- tlons are restored, and if the Nervona System 1b enfeebled, it is Invigorated and unstained
