Ayers Cathartic Pills

a RE the most perfect purgatise which we
IA are able to produce or which We think
has ever been made by any body. Their eff
fects have abundantly shown 10 the commu-
nifty how much they excel the ordinary med
lclnes IN use. They are safe and pleasant
TO take, but powerful to cure. Their pene-
lratIng properties stimulate the vital actiyi-
ties OF the body, remove the distractions of
Its organs, purify the blood, and expel dis
ease. They purge out the foul humors which
breed and grow disiemper, stimulate sluggish
or disordered organs into their natural action,
and impart healthy tone with strength TO
the whole system. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of eVeryb body, but
also formidable and dangerous diseases
While they produce powerful effects, they
are at the same time, in diminished doses,
the safest and best physic that can be en-
ployed for children. Being sugar-eoated,,
they are pleasant to take; and being purely
vegetable, are free from any risk of HARM
Cures have been made which surpass belief

exalted position and character, as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent

names TO certify to the public the reliability
of our remedies, while others have sent us

Fling the church doors open wide
Ring the merry marriage chimes!
Danish care to other times
Than the crowning of bride:
Bring the fairest buds and flowers
Hither for her coming feet;
Bridal roses, pure and sweet,
Orange blooms in fragrant showers.
Sing. o children, as she goes
In the dim. far-reaching aisle;
Meet that We, unused o guile,
Sing for her, unused to woes!
Hush, 0 heart, be breathless now,
Let no throb distract my ear;
Hope Is dead, so let me hear
How he speaks the marriage VOW.
Hush the voice is clear and free,
Ringing tG rough the tender gloom
Yet the promise falls like doom,
Made to her and not to me!
Heart! be strong, aye, glad and gay!
Hope Is dead; what need to break
Weakly for false mans sake2
Hearts might break, then every day!
SO beat low and evenly,
Lest my eyes forget to smile,
And l cannot reconcile
God with Lifeis sad mystery.
Ring the wedding jubilee!
Shine with rarer light, o sun!
For the two souls hound in one
Launched upon the futures SEA.
