Are you thin, pale, easily tired, lack your usual vigor and strength? Then your digestion must be poor, your blood thin, your nerves weak. You need a tonic and alterative.

Follow his advice. J.C.Ayer Co.,Lowel,Mass. The endorsement of your doc'or will certainly greatly increase your confidence in Ayer's Pills as a family laxative. Liver pills. All vegetable.
