AYERS CAruARTlC Pills are the best
of all purgatiycS 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 M
tons, proves them the best and most
elItctual purgatiye Pill that medical
science Can devise. Being purely veg
ctablc no harm can arise from their
use, and being suSar-coatcd, 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
eflcctual, 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-
tons, where mild but cAcctu2I
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.
