Cathartic Pills
N. +. BOLLES.

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately adj
juSted to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical eX-
pertinent, and are the most effectual REM
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class Of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi-
lative processes and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians III their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
istered to children with perfect safety.
AYERS Pills are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Isiliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Collie,
Gripes, Diarrll@a, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from q disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
AS a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these PILLS
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed. and never give
pain unless the bowels are inhamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and ysor to the
whole system.
