Constipation,

IT not remedied in season, is liable TO
become habitual and chronic. Dras-
tic purgatives, by WEI iSening the bowels,
confirm, rather than cure, the evil.
Ayers Pills, being mild, effective, and
strengthening in their action, are gener-
ally recommended by the faculty as the
best Of aperients.
"Having been subject, for years, TO
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, at last tried Ayers Pills.
