LAW IN NEW ZEALAND.

TO THE EDITOR* Sib, —A paragraph m to-day's Press headed " Law m New Zealand " is rather high, but I can go one better. The same pur, by the way, appeared ia your paper tome days ago.

HAYDOOK'B NEW LIVER PILLS. (Sugar Coated.) A WONDERFUL and extraordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The victories of Science—Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — ravolutionited tho whole system of the globe, and made man kind wiser and better. So, although there are countless Pills used for disease, and claiming much as to their merit, the remark ablt discovery of Dr. Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded ft NSW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or firs pills, unfeebla the sfcosmch and paralyze tha bowels, must give way to the man who restores haalth and appetite with on* or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Fills. One or two of Da. Hatdook's JS'kw Livbs Pills aufficas to place the stomach m perfect order, creates an appetite, and randars the spirit light and buoyant. If tho Liver is affected its functions are restored, and the Nurvous Systom is enfeebled, ib is invigorated and sustained.
