S\ N B WORD. Dxab Fbiikds— We have some hesita- tion m addressing you In the manner fol- lowing, bat hope that it will not be looked at In any Invidious light, when we state that lv la only our vegard for your health that oauaes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytioal Chemist a for many, many years and have m the long Q course of this time manufactured certain l Medicines that being based on eolentlno 0 formula and abaolnte oare end precision < Ip mannfaotare, have enjoyed a popularity ) far m advance of any othes Pharmaoentl- cal Preparations of the day. How auc- e oeasful we have bean In this, is only to oote the extraordinary amount of the tales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasarr ,to Btrte that we have sold 28,083 Vials of Dr Haydock's S New Liver Pllk The reason «f this de- -1 mand Is because we find In Haydook 1 1 New Livei Pilla a wonderfal and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolatlonlsed the whole system of the :1 globe, an£ made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are countless y Pills used for diseases and olaiming muoh I as to their merit, the remarkable dis* oovery of Dr Haydook has eolipsed them all, and has faundecJ a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootors, whoso vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyze the bowels, mast give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<s or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pil}s. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected ita func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is iaylgorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Bnrmah, 8.1.

J. F. Stratz. TOE TWO GEE AT Canadian Cures. (A Family Secret.) E. P. DUFLOT, D.D.S., Proprietor. No. I—Canadian1 — Canadian Perfume. No 2 — Canadian anti- Bilious Precious Tonic Powder. FOR hundreds of years, all Europe, Asia and Amerisa havj known what popu- la'ity and repots the " Two Great Canadian Remedies " hay& jattly acquired from the euO' ce'sfnl results which have been obtained daily m curing Fains, Rhbumatism, Eciatioa, Arth- litis, Paralysis, and m the prompt and radical cures of Boreß, Wo-nda, Cuts, Burns, etc; A few frictionß, dressings or doses are generally sufficient to m«ke a complete Cure, and thru enable the sufferers to resume their usual occupations. Duflot's " Two Great Canadian Cares " are compounded exclusively of expensve aromatic and balsamic planes, herbs, roots, bark* and flowers. They ara unequal'ed for restoring, sirength to persons suffering from debilitj, youth and virility to the old, and for strength- ening children, whom thej help to develope m a mcßt extraordinary manner during thvir growth and when teething. It is certain that oar forefathers] were stronger, more robust, and lesa subject to ailments than we are, They owed their ad« vantage, no doubt, to the hygienic rules they had the habit of observing. They were ac- customed to the daily u&o of oils, pomatum, perfume, etc., whish h»ve the property of establishing and accelerating the circulation of the blood. On good circulation of the blood depend health, Btrengtb, life ; the diverse fuuetions of onr body have to follow their course, and by protecting ourselves from transient indisposi- tions we avoid serious illness. Even science, by its most illustrious repreientativa persons, is ignorant jet of these oils, pomatum, per- fume, etc.. that were used by our ancostors, ana ruDbed all over, »h : ch kept them m the best of health. Dtjflot's " Two Great Canadian Cnres " are these ointments and perfumed remedies They were imported to Europe by our family, who discovered the secret of their ingredients, and of their manufacture, ond have benevolently distributed them to friends and acquaintances, and to such as have been Hcky eaough to obtain them, and many times has the discoverer and importer been entreated to do an act of humanity m supplying the needy public with them- Our duty to day ii to make a great circulation of them, and to make them known all over the world.
