M Perhaps no one medi cine is so universally re quired by everybody ns a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universal ly adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious rea son is, that it is a more re liable and far more effec tual remedy than any other. Those who have tried it, know that it cured them; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it docs once it does always that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. Wc have, and can show, thou sands upon thousands of certificates of remarka ble cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and why should wc publish them ? Adapted to nil ages and conditions m all climates; containing neither calo mel or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating pre serves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity, They operate by thoir powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organß of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting', wherever they exist, such derange ments as are the first origin of disease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, I.istlcss n«M, languor and !.«*» of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom ach and restore it3 healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symp toms, lliliouii Headache. Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Itilious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should be ju diciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it. For l»y*i-ulery os- Itiarrha-a, hut one mild dose is generally required. For Rheumatiiim, Gont, Grav si, Palpi* lotion of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back and Loinn, they should he continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they should be taken in large and frequent doses to pro? duoe the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppression a large Jose should be taken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. Asa Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of tliesp puis makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the diges tive apparatus. There are numerous cases Whera a purgative is required, which wc cannQt enumer ate here, bnt they suggest themselves to everybody, and where the virtues of this Pill are known, the public no longer doubt what to employ. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, For Biseuv. of the Throat and long*, •Wk a* Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption. Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most of tho races or men it has risen higher and higher in their estima tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections of the lungs ana throat, have made it known as a re liable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at tho same time the most effectual remedy that can be given for incipient consumption, and the dan gerous affections of the throat and lungs. Asa pro vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should bo provided with this antidote for them. Mihough settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis ease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Chcrn/ Pectoral. So complete is Its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth, ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee-, tot al they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers find great pro tection from it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it- Bronchitis is generalK cure d by taking the Cherry Pectoral in and frequent, doses. So generally » e itß virtues known that it is un necessary p U bii ß h the certificates of them here, 01 “ more than assure the publiq that its qualities are fully maintained. Prepared by im. J. C.
