AYERS PILLS.

&c As " pared 70 meet that demand, and
AN extensive trial Of its virtues
has conclusvely shown with what success II accom-
plishes the purpose designed. II Is easy 10 make
physical Pill, but not easy 10 make the best Of all
Pills--one which should have none of the objections
but all the advantages Of every other This has boon
attempted here, and with what success would re-
specially submit to the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgave medicine Is acrimonious and irritating 10
the bowels This is not Many Of them produce 80
than conterbalance the good 10 be derived from
thsm. These Pills produce irritation pain I'M
less II arises from previously existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vegs-
table, no harm arise from their use in any GUAM
tty; but IL Is better that any medicine should Be
taken udiciously Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured BY them we may mention
Liver Complaint, In its various forms Of JauDdice
Indigestion, Ianguor, and Loss Of Appetite Listess-
ness, lrritablty Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Aguc, pain in the Side and Loins, for in
truth, all these but the consequence Of diseased
action OF the liver. As apericnt they afford prompt
and relief in Cosveness, Piles Colo, Dysentery
Hunors scrofula and Scurvy. Colds, with soreness
Of the body, Ulcers and impurity Of the blood. In
short any and every case where purgative 10 TO
qured.
They have also produced some singularly success
fal cure, N Rheumatisn, Govt propsy, Gravel Fry
Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken In
the spring Of the year. 10 purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons. An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy scton, and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood, and by hoir stimulant action the circuE-
tory system renovate the strength Of the body, and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism. Hence occasional dose Ia advantageous
even though serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should be carried too far,
every purgave medicine reduces the strength, when
taken 10 excess. The thousand cases In which q
physic is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves TO the reason Of every body
and II Is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto boon
available TO mankind When their virtues onoo
known the public will no longer doubt what remedy
10 employ when in need of cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they are pleasant 10 take and
being purely vegetable, no harm arise from thor
use In any quantity
For minute directions, sec the wrapper on the Box.
