IL The Greatest Medical Discovery Of
he age is AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS.
They don't help complaints, but they cure them
One Box mas cured Dyspepsia
Three boxes have cured the worst cases Of Scrof-
uIa.
Two boxes have cured Erysipelss
One box always cures the Jaundce.
Three boxes are sure to cleanse the system nom
Boils-often less than one does it.
Two boxes have completely cured the worst Of
ulcers on the legs.
Small doses seldom fail to cure the Pies
One dose cures the headache arising from foul
stomach.
Strong doses often repeated expel every worm
from the body. They should be given to children
who are always, more or less afflicted with this
scourge.
As a gentle Physic they have no equal.
One box cures arrangement OF the liver.
Half hex cures cold.
They purify the blood, and thus strike at the
foundation of every disease.
As Dinner Pill there is not an equal IN the
world
They are purely vegetable and can do no harm,
but do accomplish an unaccountable amount OF
good.
