Taking
a course of Ayer’s Pills the
system is set in good working
order and a man begins to feel
that life is worth living. He
who has become the gradual
prey of constipation, does not
realize the friction under which
he labors, until the burden is
lifted from him. Then his
mountains sink into mole¬
hills, his moroseness gives
place to jollity, be is a happy
man again. If life does not
seem worth living to you, you
may take a very different view
of it after taking
