the few phrases he knew, and in voice of
thunder wound up his speech by exclaiming-
"E pluribus unum-sine qua NOME plus
ultra-multum in parvo." The effect Yves ire

Ayers Cathartic Pills.
THEY don't help complaints, bat they exys
l. them.
One Box has cured Dyspepsia.
Three Boxes have cured the worst cases of
Scrofula.
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 cured 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 chill
dren, who are always more or less afflicted
with this scourge. Fl.
As u gentle physic they have no equal.
One box cures arrangement of the liver.
Half box cures 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 are purely vegetable and can. do no
harm, but do accomplish an unaccountable
amount of good.
