neglect a cough Or cold, however
slight. Consumption may follow,
and though DR.. Wistar's Balsam of

this much dreaded disease, it almost

of the throat, lungs and chest, where
other remedies fail.

A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated DIR. FarnsM orth, Of
Norwich, Conn, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best of all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers."
DR.. l. L. Fowler, OF Bridgeport,
Conn, says: ayers Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. l make daily use of them
in my practice"
DR.. Mayhem, Of New Bedford, Mass,
says: Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice,
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts, State Assayer, DR..
A. A. Hayes, certifies 81 have made
careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles of we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness.
It insures activity, certainty, and uni
fornity of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination"

Geo. Wilks, 222, l dam by Kersarge,
Sire of dam of r. M. Wilks that trotted

Geo. Wilks is the most potent trotting
Stallion that has ever lived, having sired
60 sons and daughters with public records
from 213 IL TO $50, and - better than
22O. Fourteen of his sons have sired 81
trotters with records from 2l5 to $50,
which shows conclusively that they not

their sires but also the power TO transmit
these qualities to their progeny, breeding
and increasing in speed in each genera
