Many American families oa 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 bo 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 email pill, known to commerce as Dit Havdock's Nkw Liver Pill. It is old m tho market of Europe, but is new to North America. Tho price is as low as an honest medicine am bo sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vi<i.l, to try hem, before you purchase. I DR.
