The victoriesof Science—Electric Te.\< graphs, Stet-m and Printing — revolutionised the win le system oi the globe, and made man kitd 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. Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whoso vast doses of four or five pills, enfeeble the stoimch and parahz^ the bowels, must giva way to the man who restores health and appetite wi'h ons or two of hla extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two, of Dr. Haydock s J^ew Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m ptr'ect order, creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.
