tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of onespill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body. and are so composed that Obstruc-
lions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only DO they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baflled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
fIl effects. they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any dcleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable. no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
