tic medicine that can be employed: cleans ing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In small doses of one pill day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vigorous health.
 AYERS PILLS have been known for more than quarter of a century, and have obtained worldwide reputation for their virtues. They correct diseased action in the several assimilative organs of the body, and are so composed that obstruc- tions 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 baffled the best of human skill. While they produce power ful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not infamed. 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 deleterious 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.
