How Jennie Was Lost.

Company was expected at Vine Cot
tage. Jcnnie's mamma had been busy
all the morning. She found small time
to look after her little girl.
Noontime came, and with it Jennie's
papa from his store. The store was not
far from Vine Cottage, and on the same
street. 1t was IN asmall country town,
where grass and tall rank weeds were
allowed to grow on each side OF the
streets.
Mammals eyes opened wide with sur
prise when she saw papa enter without
Jennie. ..Where's Jenniep'' were the
first words that greeted his entrance to
the kitchen.

the darling said papa.

into the great stone churn, though it

Coming up, papa saw something that

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CArHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use OF these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious Ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
AYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. | have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
have ever found. 1t is pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and l always DO SO
when occasion offers.

the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

The REV. FRANCIS b. HARLowE, writing
from atlanta, Ca, says: "For some years
past l have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite of the use of medi-
cnes of various kinds, suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregu-
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tte and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.

from rheumatism and gastric difficulties, the
rheumatism being to severe that l was unable to

that duty to other sufferers. Though incredu-

by eminent physicians, concluded to call upon
