(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 countless Pills used for disease, and claiming much as to their merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Haydcck has eclipsed th«m all, and has founded a KBW MEDICAL SYSTEM, The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills, enfeeble the stomach and paraiym the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of hi» extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Db. Hatdock's New Liter 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 Systom is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. SYMPTOMS OF BILIOUSNESS. 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 meale 6 A bad taste ia the mouth and furre tongue 6 Constipation, with an occasional diarrhoea 7 Headachft 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 should immediately provide himself with a Liver Stimulant, the most common form of which iB a Pill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Pill is compounded properly ia the readiest mode of inciting and promot ing the action of the Liver, and ca^ always be relied on. I have devoted many years or my life in compounding a Pill, th-it will act readily and systematically as a Bilious Remedy. I do not be ieve in g'e»t purg*. lives, and therefore have made a Pill, one of which is an active and thorough doae. I have called it Hayd©ck s New Livur Pill. They are the true grams and essence of health, and the greatest blessing that Science ha" given io the world, For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, Genera! Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Hick Hpftdache, Dr. Haydock's New Liver Pill» will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains twenty Pills. Price Twenty.five Cents. For Ba'e by all Druggists Any sceptic cun have a vial of Pills sent HIM FRKKon receipt of his name and address, or a triat Send a postal card for enpy of pamphlet— " The Liver and its Mystery." It furnishes valuable Information to all, JMA.YJDO* X Ac C!O., IsEW YORK, U.S. CACTION I—Druggists are desired to notice thit the name oi JH Francis, cole agent, !s written across each tkzjn packages of Hayrack's Liver Pills.
