For Constipation, or Costiveness, no
remedy is so effective as AYERS PILLS.
They insure regular daily action, and re-,
store the bowels to a healthy condition.
For Indigestion, or Dyspepsia, AYERS
PILLS are invaluable, and a sure cure.
Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Foul
Stomach, Flatulency, Dizziness, Head
ache, Numbness, Nausea, are all relieved
and cured by AYERS PILLS.
In Liver Complaint, Bilious Disorders,
and Jaundlce, AYERS PILLS should be
given in doses large enough to excite the
liver and bowels, and remove constipation.
AS a cleansing medicine in the Spring, these
PILLS are unequalled.
Worms, caused by a morbid condition of
the bowels, are expelled by these PILLS.
Eruptions, Skin Diseases, and Piles,
the result of Indigestion or Constipation, are
cured by the use Of AYERS PILLS.
Fer Colds, take AYERS PILLS to open
the pores, remove inhammatory secretions.
aud allay the fever.
For Diarrh9a and Dysentery, caused by
sudden colds, indgestible food etc. AYERS
FILLS are the true remedy.
Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, and
scIatisa, often result from digestive derange-
ment, or colds, and disappear on removing
the cause by the use of AYERS PILLS.
Tumors, Dropsy, Kidney Complaints,
and other disorders caused by debility or
obstruction, are cured by AYERS PILLS.
