Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For the relief
and cure of ail
derangements in
the stomach, liy^
er, and bowels.
They are a mild
aperient, and an
^excellent purga-ktive.
Being pure-iy
vegetable, they
contain no mer-cury
or mineral
whatever. Much
serious sickness and suffering is prevented by
their timely use; and every family should
have them on hand for their protection and
relief, when required. Long experience has
proved them to be the salest, surest, and
best of all the Pills with which the market
abounds. By their occasional use, the blood
is purified, the corruptions of the system ex-pelled,
obstructions removed, and the whole
machinery of life restored to its healthy activ-it}".
Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayer's Pills,
and stimulated Into aqfion. Thus incipient
disease is changed into health, the value of
which change, when reckoned on the vast
multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly be com-puteil.
Their sugar-coating makes them
pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues
unimpaired for any length of time, so that
they are ever lresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and oper-«
ate without disturbance to the constitution or
diet or occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as a Family Pnysic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure: —
For l>ys,H-|Mia or Imligeatlon. LUi.
Ionics*. Langmu-, and Euan of Ajipe-tite,
they should be taken moderately to
stimulate the stomach, and restore its healthy
tone and action.
For Lsiver CJomplaiut and its various
svmptoms, Xtiliou« Headache, (Hick
Headache, Jaundice or Careen Aick*
lies**. Bilious Colic and Bilious Fe-vers,
they should be judiciously taken fbr
eacli case, to correct the diseased actiou, or
remove the obstructions which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one.
mild dose is generally required.
For niii-umatiiiui, Rout, <* ravel.
X*aIl>itation of the Heart, Rain in
the Aide, Back, and Eioiu«, they should
be continuously taken, as required, to change
Ihe diseased action id' tile system. With such
change those complaints disappear.
For ■>ro|»v- and ]»r«,laical Swell.
ing-M, they snouid be taken in large and IVe-quent
doses to produce the effect cf a drastic
purge.
For NupprpMHion, a large dose should lie
taken, as it produces the desired effect by
sympathy.
As a Dinner Pitt, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion, and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels, restores the appetite; and invigor-ates
the system, flence it is often advanta-geous
where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, ollen finds that
a dose of these Pills makes him feel decid-edly
better, from their cleansing and reno-vatmg
effect on the digestive apparatus.
