How Mans Lease of Life may De
Heightened.

HOW Mans Lease OF AlI0 may Oo
Heightened.
The possibility Of prolonsing life has
commanded the serious attention Of emil
nent scientists, and the discovery of
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health, one Of the
best means of maintaining which is the
occasiona. use of Ayers Pills. S. c.
Bradburn. Worthington, Mass, says:
ayers Pills are
THE BEST
remedy for sick headache, arising from
an impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended to
me, by my mother, thirty years ago."
Mrs. j. G. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga,
says: Il have been cured of rheumatism,
and am now enjoying good health, through
the use of Ayers Pills. / am nearly
seventy years of age.'' Mark johnson,
Monterey. Mexico, says: Il have used
Ayers Pills for the past thirty years, and
am satisfied that should not now be alive
had it not been for these Pills. BY using
them | have been enabled to avoid the
bilious diseases peculiar to this climate
j. V. Thompson, Mount Cross, Va, says:
ayers Pills gave me quick and
HAPPY RELIEF
from bilious and sick headaches. l have
now used them for two years, with in
creasing satisfaction" NJ. V. Watson,
152 State ST., Chicago, ILL.,, says: "One
year ago l was induced to try Ayers
Pills as remedy for Indigestion, Con-
stipation, and Headache. from which ]
had been a great sufferer. l found the
action of these Pills easy, and obtained
prompt relief. In continuing their use, a
single Pill, taken after dinner, has been
all the medicine have required. Ayers
Pills have benefited me more than all the
medicines ever before tried.' DIT. SUM
