ONE WORD, I 09MB to you with a small affair *- that yon may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countrie , 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, 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 j 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 cuiues — 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, known to commerce as Db Haydook's New Liver Pum*. It is old m the market of Europe, b*ut is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents.

I hid so much pain and tightness of the o^esttbat 1 oonid not endure tbe pressure of my olothing upon it. Although not laid ap, I was seldom free from pain or a sense of discomfort. In the summer ot 1893 I began to eoffcr rheumatism, which afleoted my arms and shoulders until I had not the power to life my hand to my head. I tried all sorts of liniments, embrooations, and rubbiDg oils, bat got no benefit from any of them. • In August, 1893, my friend, Mrs Oven, , told me how much good Mother Btigel'a Syi up had done her for rheumatism, and I got a bottle from tbe Drug Storas m S\ Ann's Boad.
