The victories of Science—Electric Telegraphs, Steam, and Printing — revolutionised the 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 able discovery of Dr. Haydoek has eclipsed them all, and has founded a HEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whoae vast doses of four or five pills, enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who reetorea health and appetite with one or two of bis extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Db. Haydock's £»ew Livbb Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfect order, create s an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver Is affected its functions are restored, and the Nervous Systom is enfeeb!ed, it is invigorated and sustained. SYMPTOMS OF BILIOUSNESS. 1 The patient complaiua of a fullness of the stonrtch. 2 Distension of the bowels by wind. 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals 5 A bad * taste m the mouth and furred tongue 6 Constipation, with an occasional diarrhoea 7 Headache m front of head 8 Depression of spirits and great lassitude AH of the above symptoms RO to show functional derangement of the Liver ; and now comes the great importance of any error made as to the condition of the patient. He should immediately provide himself with a Liver Stimulant, the most common form of which is a Pill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Pill is compounded properlya is the readiest mode of inciting and promote ing the actioa of the Liver, anil can always be relied on. I hava devoted many years or my life m compounding a Pill, that will ac readily and systematically as a Bilious Remedy. Ido nob believe m great purga tives, and therefore have made a Pil), one of which is an active and thorough dose. I have called ib Haydock's New Livur Pill. They are tlie true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bloaaing that Science has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr. Hoydock'e New Liver Pills wit be found an Effectual Remedy. Each viJil contains twenty Pills; Price Twenty-five Cents. For sale by all Druggists Any s-eeptic can have a vial of Pills sen* him FREKon receipt of his name and address, for a trial. Send a postal card for copy of pamphlet— " The Liver &nd its Mystery." It furnishes valuable Information to all, HA.Y.OOCK &z CO,, KEW YORK, U.S. Caction !—Druggists are desired to notice that the uuma ot J H Francis, sole agent, ii written across each <irz;n packages of Haycock's Liver Pills.
