i-I. A. "V !> O CJ R V« j[ WEN LIVER PILLS. {Sugar Coated \ A WONDERFUL end extraordinaiy combination of concentrated medicine. The vic^oriesofiScinnoo—Electric Telegraphs, Sttan^ and Printi«tf --- revolutionised the whole fyeteni <A thr gUb", u.s«l madk man kind v iset and lien.er. S(i, although there are countless PiUa used for disease, and olaimiu>> much &h to their merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Haydock has eclipsed them all, and han founded a NEW MEDIOAI, SYSTEM. The Doctors, wluiso v^t iios.-e of f >nr or five pi'lß, enfeeblo !he stomach and p»r*i\zrf ; the b iwe'a, must give way to the rrmn who ' restores heah.h and appetite wrb onn or two \ of his extraordinary Vegetable PiHs, One or (wo of Dr. Hay dock s kw Lubr Pills suffices to place the stomach in pet feet order, creates an appetite, and renders the spiritJ light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected ■ its functions are restored, and the Nervous , Sptem is enfeebled, it is invigorated and j iuataired. HYMPTOMS oF BILIOUSNESS. 1 Ttie p«i ient complains of a fullness of the stomach, 2 BiatensioD cf the bowels by wind. 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals g A bad taßte in the mouth and furre tongue 6 Constipation, wifch aa occasional diarrhoea 7 Headache in front of head 8 Depression of spirits and great lassitude AH of the above symptoms go to show functional derangement of the Liver; and row comes the great importance of any erro made as to the condition of the patient. He ihould immediately provide himeelf with a Liver Stimulanb, the most common form of which is a Pill. Dally experience shows that this, when the Pill is compounded properly b the readiest mode of inciting and promot ing the action of the Liver, aud ca*- always be relied on. I have devoted nuny years or my life in compounding a Pill, that will act readily and systematically aa a Bilious Remedy. I do not be'ieve in greab purga. lives, and therefore have made a Pill, one of which ia an active and thorough dose. I have called it
