Common Sense
In the treatment of slight ailments
would save a vast amount of sickness
and misery. One of Ayer's Pills, taken
after dinner, will assist Digestion ; taken
at night, will relieve Constipation ;
taken at any time, will correct irregu
larities of the Stomach and Bowels,
stimulate the Liver, and cure Sick
Headache. Ayer's Pills, as all know
who use them, are a mild cathartic,
pleasant to take, and always prompt
and satisfactory in their results.
" I can recommend Ayer's Pills above
all others, having long proved their
value as a
Cathartic
for myself and family." J. T. Hess,
Leithsville, Pa.
" Ayer's Pills have been in use in my
family upwards of twenty years, and
have completely verified all that ia
claimed for them." Thomas F. Adams,
San Diego, Texas.
" I have used Ayer's Pills in my fami
ly for seven or eight years. "Whenever
I have an attack of headache, to which I
am very subject, I take a dose of Ayer's
Pills and am always promptly relieved.
X find them equally beneficial in colds ;
and, in my family, they are used for
bilious complaints and other disturb
ances with such good effect that we rare
ly, if ever, have to call a physician."
