FDll ALL THE PURPOSES OF A 



FAMILY PHYSIC. 



TIlESE Pills have been prepared with a view to supply a more 

 reliable, safer, aud every way better aperient medicine than 

 has hitherto been available to the American people. No cost or 

 toil has been spared in bringing them to the state of perfection, 

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

 realized. Their every part and property ha.s been carefully adjust- 

 ed by cxjieriment to pioduce thi^ best elTeot which, in the present 

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

 mal economy of man. When we con.sider that four-fifths of all 

 the diseases incident to the human race actually require nothing 

 an effectual purgative remedy to completely cure them in the 

 beginning, we shall appreciate the utility of this invention ; and 

 when we further know b}* experience the eafe 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 terajiorary 

 run, but as the skillful embodiment of such virtues as shall give 

 them a perennial popularity, and permanent place, among the great 

 acknowledged remedies of this age. They will become the recourse 

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

 pense, time, and a.ssiduous toil have not been misspent in pro- 

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

 tliat Edl beautiful and useful inventions are the fruits of a thousand 

 Isbors anc difficulties. 



The subjoined communication is authenticated by some of the 

 first statesmen in America, as well as other distinguished persons 

 of high public position, who are known throughout the whole 

 •otintrv, and whose opinions command respect wherever they are 

 heard : — 



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

 my own obser^-ation and under the immediate inspection of our 

 eminent physicians in the city of Washington, I am convinced that 

 they are an aperient medicine of unrivalled excellence. They have 

 ■hown a remarkable control over the diseases for wliich they are 

 designed, and in numerous cases effected cures, which conclusively 

 prove their superiority ever every purgative within our knowledge. 

 An extensive trial of thei» virtues has convinced me that they 

 must be adopted into general use, as the safest and best medicine of 

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

 »uch a medicine is required.

 A3 A Dl.VNER Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No Pill 

 •an be made more plea.sent to take, and certainly none has been 

 made more effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill is em- 

 ployed. Persons of a bilious habit find great comfort from their 

 occasional use, in small dosf s, after eating or drinking too freely. 

 Many bon rivants a.nd distinguished individuals have acknowledged 

 these benefits; but we have not yet received authenticated certifi- 

 eates of tliis fact for publication, and hence must ask the public to 

 take this on our own unsupported a.s.sertion, or else try them and 

 judge fur themselves. 



Being sugar wrapped, they are protected from detorioration,and, 

 •onsequently, are more reliable in their effects, as well as perfectly 

 ■greeable to be talcen.

For the rapid Cure of Coughs, Cold?, Hoarseness, BroncM-

Tlijs remedy has won fer itself such notoriety from its cures of 



eTery variety of pulmonary disease, that it is entirely unneccsfwry 

 to recount the evideu'-es of its virtues in any conmiunity where it 

 has been employed. So wide is the field of its usefulness, aud at> 

 numerous the ci.ses of its cures, thai almost eveiy section of the 

 country abounds in persons publicly knr)\\n, who have been restored 

 from alarming au'l even desperate diseases of the lungs by its u.se< 

 Wlien 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 liesilate v.Uat antidote to enijiloy 

 for the distressing and dimgerou-s alloctions of the pulnx nary 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, Hoauskni:ss, ito. ; and for Chiliikkx, it is the pleiLsintest 

 and safest meilioine that Ciin be obtained. 



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

 need not do more than assure the people its quality is kept up to 

 the best it ever has been, and that tlie genuine article i.s K(dd tiv
