We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for 1 many, jnany years and have m the long 0 course of this time manufactured certain 1 Medicines that being based on aolentlfio D formula and absolnte care and precision ' In manufacture, have enjoyed 1 far In advanoe of any other Pharmaoenti* eal Preparations of . the day. How suo- ie oessful we have bean In this, Is only to note, the extraordinary amount of the lalei of oni Haydook s New Liver PUI. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's ;s New Liver PIIIa* The reason of this de. i mand Is beoause we find In Haydook' it New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medlolne. The Vlotorles of Science— Electrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing . — revolutionised the whole system of the !l globe, and made mankind wise* and bet* ter. So, although there are oountless y Pills used for diseases and olalmlng much I as to their merit, the remarkable dls* oovery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the boweli, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<» or. two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomaoh In porfeot order oreatea an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted Its f uno- tlons are restored, and If the Nervous System ie enfeebled, It Is t&rlgorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provlsoe of Burmah, 8.1.
