w hat a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, M. D., of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and l think
1t must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
Of DIR. George e. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used
