(Sugar Coated.) A WONDERFUL and extraordinary combination of concentrated medicine. 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 countteßS Pills used for disease, and claiming much as to tbeir merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Haydock hat eclipsed them all, and has founded a NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pi!!s, enfeeble the stom«oh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores Health and appetite with ons or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Db. Haydock's New Lives Pills eufficet 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 Nervoui System is enfeebled, it it invigorated and sustained. ' SYMPTOMS OF MLIOUSNEBS. 1 The patient complains of a fullness of the stomach. 2 Distension of the bowels by wind, 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals 5 A bad taste in the mouth and fnrr c tongue 6 Constipation, with an occasional diarrhoea 7 Headache in front of head 8 Depression of spirits and great lassitude All of the above symptoms go to show functional derangement of the Liver ; and row comes the great importance of any error made a« to the condition of the patient. He should immediately provide himself with a Liver Stimulant, the moßt common form of which is a Fill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Fill is compounded properly is the readiest mode of inciting and promot ing the action of the Lirer, and ca^ always be relied on. I have devoted many years or my life in compounding a Pill, that will act readily and systematically at a Bilioua Remedy. I do not believe in great purga« lives, and therefore have made a Pill, one of which is an active and thorough dose. I have called it HaYD»OKS NXW LIYJ&R Plili. They are the true grains and ettience 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. Haydook's New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy, Each vial contains twenty Pills: Price Twenty.five Cents. For sale by all Druggists Any sceptic can have a vial of Pills sent him free on receipt of his name and address, or a trial Send a postal card for copy of pamphlet— " The Liver and its Mystery.' 9 It furnishes valuable Information to all, HAYDOCH Sc CO., NEW YORK, U.S. Caction !-—Druggißts are desired to notice that the name of J H Francis, sole agent, a written across each dozen packages of flaydock'a Liver Fills.
