For his liver, GO years ago.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills
wore designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared and their in¬
gredients adjusted to the exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their popularity was in¬
stantaneous. That this popu¬
larity has been maintained is
well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at the
World’s Fair 1893.

My Dear Sir:— I have ju.si
learned from the last papers that
i am indebted to von for the in¬
troduction in tire house of repre¬
sentatives of the resolutions ex¬
tending In me the thanks of con¬
gress for the naval engagement of
Manila 1.
1 need hardly to tell, you that
lam most sincerely grateful to
you as ihe author of the resolu¬
tion, bringing as it does the high :
est honor that can come to an A
merican naval officer in his pro¬
fessional career, But if is a great
pleasure to acknowledge my debt
of gratitude and to thank you in
unstinted measure for the part
you took in obtaining for me the
great distillation.
It is a source of additional pleas
ure to me, a Vermonter, that the
mover of resolution Was not a
man from the Nort h, but one from
the far South. This is one of the'
good signs of the times, In the
hour or danger there is no South,
no North, but one one united conn
t ry.
May we never hear of section¬
alism again. There are no lines
drawn in the navy. I need not
say it may interest you know that
my Mag lieutenant, Lieut-. Brumby
is a Georgian by ’birth and ap¬
pointment thanking .
Again you most cor¬
dially, I remain very gratefully
and sincerely, “George Dewey.”
