AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the
best ofall pargatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by Physicians Ia their
practice, and BY all civilized nations,
proves them TO be the best and most effec,
tual purgative Pill that medical science
cen devise. Being purely vegetable no
harm can arise from their use In intrin-
sic value and curative powers no other
Pills can be compared with them, and
every person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They keep
the system in perfect order, aud maintain
in healthy action the whole machinery of
life. Mild, searching and effeetual, they
are specially adapted to the needs Of the
digestive, apparatus, arrangements of

taken. They are the best and safest
physic to employ for children and weak
ened constitutions, where a mild, but eff
fectual cathartic is required For sale by
