ry^IIESlO I'llls have btH'n pieiiarod with a view to supply a more 

 X i-flhiliUi, .safer, and every way belter aperient meiiicine than 

 has hit 1km to been available to the American people. No cost or 

 toil has been spared in bringing theui to the stale_ of perfection, 

 which now, after some years of laborious investigation, is actually 

 realized. Thci;- every part and property ha? been carefully adjust- 

 ed by experiment to "produce the bei5t etl'ect which, in the present 

 »tate of the medical sciences, it is possible to produce on the ani- 

 mal economy of man. When we consider that fnur-fifths of all 

 the diseases incident to the human race actually require nothing 

 jtQ ellectual purgative remedy to completely cure them in the 

 l)eginni ng, we shall appreciate the utility of this invention; and 

 when we further know by experience the exse and rapidity with 

 which they may be arrested by these Pills, then, and not till then, 

 can we estimate the magnitude of the benefits to be derived from 

 their use. They are not presented to the world for a temporary 

 run, but as the" skillful embodiment of such virtues a.s shall give 

 tiiem a perennial popul5,rity, and peimanent place, among the great 

 acknowledged remedies of this age. They will become the recourse 

 to which men turn in affiiction, and not in vain. Hence the ex- 

 pense, time, and assiduous toil have not been misspent in pro- 

 ducing their unrivaled excellence; for it is a world-old maxim, 

 that all beautiful and useful inventions are the fruits of a thousand 

 labors and difficulties. 



The subjoined communication is authentic<ated by some of the 

 first .statesmen in America, as well as other distinguLshed persons 

 of high public position, who are known throughout the whole 

 country, and whose opinions command respect wherever they are 

 heard : — 



^After numerous trials of Dr. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, both under 

 my own observation and under the immediate inspection of our 

 en'iinent physicians in the city of Washington, I am convinced that 

 they are anaperient medicine of unrivalled excellence. They have 

 ihown a remarkable control over the disea.se.s for which they are 

 designed, and in numerous cases effected cures, which conclusively 

 prove their suiieriority over eveiy purgative within our knowledge. 

 An extensive trial of their virtues has convinced me thatthey 

 must be adopted into general use, a.s the safest and best medicine of 

 their kind which the people can employ in the many cases where 

 »uch a medicine is required.

 S.^ A Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No Pill 

 can be made more pleasent to take, and certainly none- has been 

 imide more etlectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill is em- 

 ployed. Pei-sons of a bilious habit find great comfort from their 

 occasional u.se, in .small dosts, after eating or drinking too freely. 

 Many bon rivantsa.n(\. distinguished individuals have acknowledged 

 tlie.se benefits; but we have not yet received authenticated certiti- 

 teites of thi.s f ict for publication, and hence must ask the public to 

 take this on our own unsupported assertion, or else try them and 

 jadge for them.sclves.

 AYER'S CHERRY PECTOEAL, 



Tor the r.ipid Cure of Cougbs, Colds, Hoarseness, BroncM- 

 tis, Whooping Cough, Croup, Asthma, & Consumption. 



TULs rcraiMiy has won for itself such notoriety from its cur(.3 of 



every variety of pulmonary disease, that it is entirely unnecessaiT" 

 to recount the evidences of its virtues in any conmiunity where it 

 has been cmploved. So wide is the field of its usel'ulnes.s, and so 

 numerous the cases of its cure,', that almost every «!Ction of the 

 country abounds in persons publicly known, who have been restored 

 from aiarmiiig and even desperate diseoaes of the lungs by ila use. 

 When once tried its superiority over every other medicine of its 

 kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues 

 are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ 

 for the distressing and dangerous alVections of the pulmonary or- 

 gans which are incident to our climate. And not only in formida- 

 ble attacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties of Colds, 

 Coughs, Hoarskni:ss, &c. ; and for Ciin.Diiii.N, it is the pleasantest 

 and safest medicine that c;in be obtained. 



As it ha« long been in constant use throughout this section, we 

 need not do more than assure the people its iiuality is kept np to 

 the best it ever has been, and that the genuine article is sobl liy
