He has had no appetite for five months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as api ughman eats, I had to oheok him, but h laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry.

TRANSLATION. , Aykab, Provtaee of Burmah, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physiolan — The unworthy one who dares to Address yon And come before you humbly m the dust, begs for his people (oaste) that you would deign to look npon their ignoble miseries And onre them with your Life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine Is life to them And their ohlldren, and all the Drug Baxajurs are empty And your Soul is not m them. ThU humble petitlonet, Although he is lowly And not worthy to be In your high presence prays that you will graciously permit yonr Life grr 'ns (Pills) to come 1 o Aykab.

MedicaL r\ N E WORD. Dxab Fbibmss— We have some hesita- tion m addressing you m the manner f ol- ' losing, but hope that it will not be looked at m any invidious light, vhen we state that it is only our kegard for your health that oauses vi to do \u25a0 It, We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many yearo and have In the long course of this time manufactured oertain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolnte care and preolslon In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparation! of the day. How sue- oessful we have been In this, ia only to note the extraordinary amount of the Ckles of our Haydook i New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28.089 Vlala of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pllla. The reason of this do. mand is beoause we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and oxtr* ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science — Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing, •—revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oonntless Pills used for dlseasos and claiming muob at to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them $U, and has founded ft New Medical Sys>. tain. The Dooto», whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stbmaoh and psralyie the bowel*, most give way to the mon who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pill*. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach In perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected Its funo- tlons are restored, and if the Nervous System it enfeebled, It is Invigorated and sustained.
