think of going West to shake to

while our own State offers such lands
at such prices, is certainly unacconnt-
able. Instead of saying go West,
we say go 20 the mountains.

able impression with which they were at first
received. We have been in the habit of US
ing them ourselves. and recommending them
to our acquaintance. Ayers Pills are a
perfect regulator of the system; Ayers En-
tract of Sarsaparilla is the best known puri-
fer of the blood; Ayers Cherry Pectoral is
a safe and sure remedy in complaints of the
throat and lungs; and Ayers Ague Cure is
an effectual cure in cases of Fever and Ague
and other malarial fevers. These medicines
are compounded with skill and accurate med

physicians, and are published for the benefit
