Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same v the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed •t St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough; it wm so bad at times that it quite exhausted me.

In England, the Continent, and many foreign countries myself and wares are well known. Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles wjth them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is ■low 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 bo misplaced, I make the best form of cure—an absolute one—for biliousness and headache that can bo found in this year. The cure is so small in it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its Jimit 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, in the shape of one small pill, known tc commerce as Dr Haydock's New Livee Pill. It is old in 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.
