How suc- oeseful we have besn In this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill, We have the plesßUZt: to strte that we I have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook'B New Liver Pill* The reason of this de- mand Is because we find In Haydook' New Live* Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medlolne. The Victories of Solenoe — 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 much as to their merit, the. remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medioal Sys- tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four ot five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ond or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Di Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach m perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System Is enfeebled, It Is m rlgorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.
