(Sugar Coated.) A WONDERFUL and extraordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The victories of Science—Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system ot 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. Hay dock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills, enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Da. Haydock's JSew Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order, creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its functions are restored, and the Nervous Syatom is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. SYMPTOMS 0^ BILIOUSNESS. 1 The patient complains of a fullness of the 6tom<*ch. 2 Distension of the boweis by wind. 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals 5 A bad taste in the mouth and furre tongue 6 Constipation, with an occasional diarrhoea 7 Headache in front of head 8 Depression of spirits and great lassitude All of the abeve symptoms go to show functional derangement of the Liver; and row comes the great importance of any error made as to the condition of the patient. He Bhculd immediately provide himself with a Liver Stimulant, the most common form of which is a Pill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Pill ia compounded properl> is the readiest mode of inciting and promot ing the action of the Liver, aud ca». always be relied on. I have devoted many years or my life in compounding a Pill, ih.t will act readily and systematically as a Biiious Remedy. I do not be ieve in g-eat purga tives, and therefore have made a Pili, one of which is an active and thorough dose. I have called it Haypock s New Livur Pill. They are the true grains and escence of health, and the greatest blessing that Science has given to the world, For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr. Haydock's New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains twanty Pilis. Price CDwenty.five Cents. For ea'.e by all Druggists Any «ceptio can have a vial of Pills SENT him KKFKon receipt of his name and address, or a trial Send a postal card for cpy of pamphlet— •* The Liver a&d its MyuUry."
