WEN LIVER PILLS. (Sugar Coated {• WONDKRKUL and extraordinary a'\ combinntiou ofooitce»tfuu<d meili<;:tie Ttie vie; ones of (Science—Eieofric Telegraphs, Kteam ami Printing — revolutionised the whole system of thw globe, and made man kind wiser and better. So, although there ore countless Fills used for disease, and f claiming much iw to their merit, the remark- \ fvbla discovery of Dr. Htiydoek has eolipßed ' them aii, Riui has founded a NP.W MRDIOAL SYSTBM. Tlio Doctors, whose Vast do?es of four or five pi. Is, enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowela, 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 jNew Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order, creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver ia affected its functions are restored, and the Nervous Syatom is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. BYMPIOMS OF BILIOUSNESS. 1 The patient complains o! a fullness of the stomach. 2 Distension of the bowela by wind. 3 Heartburn 4 A fealiag of weariness, sleepiness after meals § A bad taste in the mouth and furro tongue 6 Constipation, with an occasiouat diarrH&ja 7 He>dache in front of head 8 Depression of spirits and great laasibude All of the above symptoms go to show functional derangement of the Liver j and row comes the great importance of any errct made as to the condition of the patient. Me should immediately provide* himself with a Liver Stimulant, the most common form of which ia a Pill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Pill ia compounded properly is the readiest mode of inciting and promot ing the aotion of the Liver, and ca». alwajj^ be relied on. I have devoted many years or my lire in compounding a Pill, that will act readily and systematically as & Bilious Remedy. I do not beiieve in great purga tives, and therefore have made a Pill, one of which ia an active and thorough dose. I >•■ ;vb called it Haydook s New Livjir Pill. They ore the (iue grams and essence of health, arid the gie&teat bleaaing that Science has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, Genera! Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr. Haydock's New Liver Pills will be f&und an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains twenty Pills. Price Twenty-five Cents. For e*te by all Druggists Any sceptic can have a vial of Pills sent him frek od receipt of his nama and address, or a trial Send a pOßtal card for copy of pamphlet— " The Liver and its Mystery." It furnishes valuable Information to all.
