! 4 have been taxed their utmost 10 produce
this best, most perfect purgatiye which is known
to man. Innumerable proofs are shown that
! these Pills have virtues which surpass in ex-
cellence the ordinary medicines, and that they
WIN unprecedentedly upon the esteem of all men.
They are safe and pleasant to take, but power
ful TO cure. Their penetrating properties stim-
ulate the vital activities of the body, remove the
| obstructions of its organs, purify the blood and
expel disease. They purge out the foul humors
which breed and grow distempcr, stimulate slug
gish or disordored organs into their natural ac-
tion, and impart healthy tone with strength TO
the whole system. Not only do they cure the
every day complaints of every body, but also
formidable and dangerous diseases that have baf-
fled the best OF human skill. While they pro-
duce powerful eifests, they are at the same time,
in diminished doses, the safest and best physic
that can be employed for children. Being SUI
gar-coated, they are pleasant to take; and be-
ing purely vegetable, are free from any risk of
harm. Cures have been made which surpass
belief were they not substantiated by men of
such exalted position and character rs to forbid
the suspicion Of untruth. Many eminent cler-
gymen and physicians have lent their names to
certify to the public the reliability of our reme-
dies, while others have sent me the assurance Of
their conviction that our preparations contribute
immensely to the relief OF my afflicted suffer
ing iellow-men.
The agent below named is pleased to furnish
gratis our American Almanac. containing drec-
tions for the use and certificates of their cures,
Of the following complaints:-
Costiveness, BiliousConplaints, Rheumatism
)ropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising from
foul stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbid In
action OF the Bowels and pain arising thercfrom,
flatulcncy, Loss of Appetite, all diseases which
require an evacuant medicine. They also, by
purifying the blood and stimulating the system,
cure many complaints which it would not be
supposed they could reach, such as Deafness,
Partial Blindness, Neuralgia and Nervous Ini-
liability, Derangements Of the Liver and Kid
neys, Gout and other kindred complaints ars-
ing from low state Of the body or obstruction

Do not be put off by unprncipled dealers
with some other pill they make more profit on.
Ask for AYERS Pills, and take nothing else.
No other they can give you compares with this

sick want the best aid there is for them, and
they should have it.
