AYERS PILLS.

THE greatest discovery of the age is, AYERS
/ CATHARTIC Pills.
They don't help complaints, but they cure them.
One box has cured Dyspepsia.
Three boxes have cured the worst cases OF Scrof-
ula.
Two boxes have cured Erysipelas
One box always cures the Jaundice.
Three boxes are sure TO cleanse the system from
boils: often less than one does it.
Two boxes have completely Wed the worst of
ulcers on the legs
Small doses seldom fail TO cure the Piles.
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 affected with this
scourge.
AS gentle Physic they have no equal.
One box cures arrangement Of the Liver.
Half box cures a cold.
They purify The blood, and thus strike at the
foundation of every disease.
As Dinner Pill there is not their equal in the
world.
They arc purely Vegetable, and can do no harm,
but do accomplish unaccountable amount of
good.
