Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well; but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. I do not think it will be misplaced. I make the best form of cure—an absolute one— for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes-—that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, kn6wn te commerce as Dr Haycock's New Livee Pill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial; to try jiem, before you purchase. DR HAYDOCK, 63 Fulton St, N.Y., NEW ZEALAND DRUG CO., Christchurch, General Agents. 8 161 THE PREMIER TEA OF THE' WORLD.
