AYERS CATHAErIC 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 ma
tons, proves them the best and most
cffectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
ctable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated theyi 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-
tons, where. mild but etiectual
cathartic is required
For sale by all druggists.

Form that the rarest sculpture mocks,
Eyes that We'd with stars of night.

Dimpled her cheeks, her form was fair,
Lips that might tempt the laboring bee,
To sip his honied sweetness there.

Her swollen cheek refused welcome smile
