(Sugar Coated.) A WONDERFUL and extraordinary combination ofconcentrated medicine. The victories of Science—Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globo, and made man kind wiser and better. So, although there are countless Fills used for disease, and claiming much ac to their merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a NEW MEDIOAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doeea of four 01 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 Db. Haydock's New Liteb 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 Nervoui System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. SYMPTOMS qV BILIOUSNESS. 1 The patient complains of a fullness ol the sbomich. 2 Distension of the bowels by wind. 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness aftei , meals 6 A bad taste in the mouth and furre tongue 6 Constipation, with an occasional diarrhea 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 erroi made as to the condition of the patient, H« should immediately provide himself with t Liver Stimulant, the most common form o which is a Pill. Daily experience shows thai this, when the Pill is compounded properlj is the readiest mode of inciting and promot ing the action of the Liver, and ca<. alwayi be relied on. I have devoted m*ny years oi my life in compounding a Pill, that will acl readily and systematically as & Bilioui Remedy. I do not believe in great purga tives, and therefore have made a Pill, one o which is an active and thorough dose. .' have called it Hayd«cxs Niw Livar Pill. They are the true grains and essence o health, and the greatest blessing that Soienoi has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness General Lassitude, Want of Appetite anc Sick Headache, Dr. Haydock'a New Ltvei Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains twenty Pills; Prioi Twenty-five Centc For ea!e by all Drnggtsti Any sceptic can have a vial of Pills seno him frkk on receipt of his name and address, or a trial Send a postal card for copy of pamphlet— " The Liver and its Mystery."
