they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pulls 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 assimilatiye organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or eyade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable aud dangerous
diseases that have bat}cd 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 grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
. Theyreach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements Of weakness.
Adapted TO all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither caiomel
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.
