The following is one of the many testimonials: Christohurch, November 30, 1894 I have great pleasure in testifying to the good results obtained from the oourse of baths and treatment adopted at Mr Rule's Hydropathic Establishment. My wife had sustained a very severe attack of bronchitis and congestion of the lungs, •^w-^t«e«Jyai«k*i» ? irom«haustion when she beoame an inmate of the above institution.

COME to you with a small affair ' that you may need. 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 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 Ido not think it will be misplaced, I I make the best form of cure—an I' absolute one—for biliousness and headache that can be 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 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, in the shape of one small pill, known tc commerce as Dr Haydock's New Livek Pill, i It is old in the market of Europe, but ( is new to North America. The price 1 is as low as an honest medicine can I be sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try Ihem, i before you purchase.
