My stomach, liver, and heart became affected and thought I would surely die. I tried Dr. l. C. Aver's Pills and they helped me right away. I continued their use and am now entirely well. don't know of anything that wifi so quickly relieve and cure the terrible sufferings of dyspepsia as pr. Ayers Pills.p-JoHN C. PRIrcHARD.
