Dbab Fbibnds — We have some hesita- tion in addrosaing yon in the manner fol- lowing, but hope that it will not bo looked at in any invidious light, when wo state that iv is only our regard tov your health that oauaea ua to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Ohom'ata for many, many yearß and have in tho ioag course of this time maucfaotured certain Msdloinea that boing based on eclontllto formula and absolnte care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaoeutl- oal Preparations of the day. How suc- ceasful we have bean in this, is only to Doto the extraordinary amount of the cales of oar Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to etrte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver PUhv The reason of this de- mand Is because rre find in Haydook' New Livei Fills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science — Elootrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, an& made mankind wiser and bet* tov. So, although there are countless Pills used for dlseaßos and claiming much as to their merit, tat, rema/k&ble dis- covery of Dr Haydook haa eolipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootow, whoso vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, most give way to the mad who restored health and appetite with ond or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Di Hay. dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its f uno- tlona are reotored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is inyigoratod and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, ProvScce of Barmah, 8.1.
