BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized na-
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic 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, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but effectual
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

MRS. A. W. ROWLAND, of Providence, R. l.,
says:-
"Deeming it my duty to suffering humanity 70
inform all who may be afflicted as have been,
of the safe and sure Remedy which, by the bless
ing of kind Providence, has restored me to
health, with deep gratitude wish to acknowl-
edge the great benefits that have received from
the use of the most valuable medicine that
have ever seen. During the past three years
have been afflicted with Kidney disease, accom-
panied by the severe aches, intense pains, weak
ness, and prostration attending this dreadful
disease tried many kinds of medicines, in
cluding physicians prescriptions without obtain
ing permanent relief.
"a few weeks ago friend persuaded me to
try Hunts Remedy; and, after using only half
bottle, was relieved of the severe pains in my
back, and continued the use of the Remedy until
am well again and I now can take long walks
without being tired, and have an excellent ap-
petite, sleep well, and am rid of all those aches
and pains from which suffered so long. most
cheerfully recommend Hunts Remedy as a safe
and reliable cure for Kidney disease, and it is the
only medicine have ever found that does exactly
what it is advertised to do.
Praise the bridge that carries you over
safely and that to many an ailing one has been
Hunts Remedy, a bridge which has taken them
from what seemed fatal sickness to blooming
health.
"We are all strong enough to endure the mis-
fortunes of others. But, if their misfortune is
sickness, it costs nothing to tell them of the great
medicine, Hunts Remedy"
