AYER'S 



PILLS, 



FOK ALL THE PURPOSES OF A 



FAMILY PHYSIC. 



THESE Pills have been prepared with a view to aupply a more 

 reliable, safer, and every way better aperient medicine than 

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

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

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

 realized. Their every part and property has been carefully adjust- 

 td by experiment to produce the beat effect which, in the present 

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

 oal economy of man. When we consider that four-fifths of all 

 the diseases incident to the human race actually require nothing 

 ffectual purgative remedy to completely cure them in the 

 t)€ginning, we shall appreciate the utility of this invention; and 

 when we further kn<nD by experience the ease and rapidity with 

 trhich the^ may bo arrested by these Pills, then, and not till then, 

 »n we estimate the magnitude of the benefits to be derived from 

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

 Tin, hut a-s the akiUful embodiment of such virtues as shall give 

 ;hem a perennial popularity, and permanent place, among the great 

 icknnwledged remedies of this age. They will become the rec' 

 xt which men turn in aOiiction, and not in vain. Hence thi 

 lense, time, and assiduous toil have not been misspent in 

 iucing their unrivaled excellence; for it is a world-old mt.^.^, 

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

 abors and difficulties. 



The subjoined communication is authenticated by some of the 

 irat statesmen in America, as well as other distinguished persons 

 )f high public position, who are known throughout the whole 

 ;ountry, and whose opinions command respect wherever they are 



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



■ny own observation and under the immediate inspection of our 



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



;hey are an aperient medicine of unrivalled excellence. They have 



ihown a remarkable control over the diseases for which they are 



iesigned, and in numerous cases effected cures, which conclusively 



irove their superiority over every purgative within our knowledge. 



An extensive trial of their virtues has convinced me that they 



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



;heir kind which the people can employ in the many cases where 



Hich a medicine is required.

We the undersigned hereby certify that Dr. Z. D. Oilman is well 



lown to UP, and we concur in his opinion.

 As A DiN-XER Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No Pill 

 €an be made more plea.<5ent to take, and certainlv 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 doses, after eating or drinking too freely. 

 Many bon vivants and distinguished individuals have acknowledged 

 these benefits; but we have not ye^ received authenticated certifi- 

 cates of this fact for publication, and hence must ask the public to 

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

 judge for themselves. 



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

 consequently, are more reliable in their effects, as well as perfectly 

 reeable to be t^iken.

 AYER'S CHEERY PECTORAL, 



For tlie rapid Cure of Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchi- 

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

 Th\M remedy hat won for itaelf such notoriety from iti corefl of 



every variety of pulmonary disease, that it is entirely unnecossaiT 

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

 ^aa been employed. So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so 

 numerous the cases of its cures, that alm«st every section of the 

 country abounds in persons publicly known, who have been restored 

 from alarming and even desperat* 'diseases of the lungs by its use. 

 When once tried its superiority over every other medicme of ita 

 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 affections 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, Hoarseness, &c. ; and for Children, it is the pleaaanteoi 

 and 8afe**t medicine that can 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 the genuine article is sold by 



LANE & PANE, and W. PITKIN & SON, Rochester; DEMA- 

 REST & HOLMAN, Buffido; and by all Druggists every where.
