Medical. f\ N X W O R Di Dbas Fbibwdh— We have some hesita- tion m addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at In any Invidious light, when we state that X Is only our kegard -for youi health that oauses us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Ohemlats for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being baaed on scientific formula and absolnte care and preolalon In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaoeuti. oal Preparations of the day. How sue- oeaaful we have be?n In this, 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 Dr Haydook'i New Liver P111& The reason of this de. mand Is beoause we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary copibluatton of concentrated medicine. The Vlotorlea of Science— i Eieotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutlonlaed the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser.and bet- ter. So, although there are oountleaa Pills used for diseases and olaiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpaed them all, and has iounded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootori, whose vast doses of four oi five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite' with one or two of his extraordinary! Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay. dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomaoh In perfeot order creates an: appetite, and renders the spirit light and| buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its f unc- ; tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, It Is Invigorated and sustained.
