The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
IN the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements ct the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. ID. W. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
81 suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. l tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until ]
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. / took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
Dyspepsia
and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr.. GALLAGHER, practical chemist, OF
Roxbury, Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes
"a friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, / was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before had finished the second box,
began to experience relief. ] continued
taking them, at intervals, until / had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that am now a well man, and grateful
to your chemistry, which outstrips
mine"
The head and stomach are always in
sympathy hence the cause Of most Of
those distressing headaches, to which
so many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, Of Poughkeep-
sic, N. Y, writes that for years she was
martyr to headache, and never found
anything TO give her more than tenn
pOrary relief, until she began takirg
Ayers Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment Of perfect health.

not the slightest control.
