AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS nave been prepared with the utmost skill which the medi- al profession of this age possesses. and their effects show they have virtues which surpass any combi- nation of medicmes hitherto known. Other prepa- rations do move or less good ; but this cures such dangerous complaints, so quick nd so surely. as to prove an etlicacy anda power to uproot disease be- yond any thing which men have known before. By removing the obstructions of the internal organs and stimulating theia into healthy action, they renovate the fountains of hfe and vivor,—health courses anew through the body, and the sick man is well again. They are adapted to disease, and diseaee only. for when taken by onein health they produce but little effect. This is the perfeotion of medicine. It is antagonisiie to disease, and no more Tender ehildren may take them with impunity. If they are sick they will oure them, if they are weil! they wil! do them pe harm.

Give them to the lean, sour, haggard dyspeptic, whose gnawing stomech has long ago eaten evel simi e from his face and every muscle from his body. See his appetite return. and with it hes heaith: see the new man.
