In England, the Continent^ and^many foreign countrie /riyseif 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, it* . rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and makeTa reference to d 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 'hs.tfM become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sngar is my remedy, m the shape of " v one small pill, knrwn to commerce as Db Haydock's New Livee PiLii. 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.
