The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular Is, THAI
while always reliable as a 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 Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. ID. w. Baine, New
Berne, n. c., writes:
:" suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem
eaies, but received no benefit until ]
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. / took them
regularly for few months, and my
health was completely restored"

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now TO be afflicted
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day it is as common as any word in
the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past =
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, aud all
are caused BY troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing lis functions finding it cannot

the system, causing nervous troubles.
