Dkab Furores — We have some hesita- tion In addressing you In the manner fol- lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we state that lv. la only our regard for your health that oauaea ua to do it. We havo been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being baaed on scientific formula and abßolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a populaxity far m advance of any otnes Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have hero In thla, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Di Haydook's New Liver PIIK The reason vt this do- mand is beoauae we find m Haydook 1 New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary eombluatlon of concentrated medlolne. The Victories of Sotenoe— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, an& made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountless Pills used for diseases and olalming muoh as to their merit, the. remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpsed them all, and has founded a New Medioal Sys- tem. The Dootorc, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with oru) os two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dt Hay* dock's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach m perfeot order croatea an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver Is affected its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System la enfeebled, it ii m rlgorated and sustained, TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provkoe of Bnrmah, '8.1.

FOR hundreds of years, all Europe, ApU and America havj known what popu- latity and repata the " Two Great Canadian Remedies " have jar tly acquired from the SUO' ceisfnl results whi".h have been obtained daily m curing Fains, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Arth- titis, Paralysis, and m the prompt and radical cures of Sores, Woands, Cuts, Burns, etci A few frictions, dressings or. doses are generally sufficient to make a complete Cure, and thus enable the sufferer.* to resume their usual occupations, Duflot's " Two Great Canadian Cares " are compounded exclusively of expensive aromatio and bahamio plants, herbs, roots, bark* and flowers. They are unequalled for restoring strength to parsons suffering from debility, youth and virility to the old, and for strength* ening children, whom the) help to develope m a inept extraordinary manner during thiir growth and when teething. It is certain that our forefathers] were stronger, more robust, and less subject to ailments than we are. They owed their ad- vantage, no doubt, to the hygienic rubs they had the babit of observing. They were ac- customed to the daily u&e of oils, pomatum, perfume, etc., whisb have tho property of establishing and accelerating the circulation of the blood. On good circulation of the blood depend health, strength, life ; the diverse fuuetions of our body have to follow their coarse, and by protecting ourselves from transient indispoßi- tions we avoid serious illness. Even science, by its most illustrious representative persons, is ignorant yet of these oUb, pomatum, per- fume, etc.. that were used, by our ancestors, and ruobed all over, »h ; ch kept them m the best of health. Duflot'B " Two Great Canadian Cures " are these ointments and perfumed reaedies. They were imported to Enrope by our family, who discovered the secret of their ingredients, and of their manufacture, and have benevolently distributed them to friends and acquaintances, and to such as have been lacky enough tc obtain them, and many times has the ducoverer and importer been entreated to do an act of humanity m supplying the needy pnblic wi.h them. Our duty to day is to make a great circulation of them, and to make them known all over the world; "-
