Ask your doctor how often
he prescribes an alcoholic
stimulant for children. He

swer, "Very,veryffequently." I
Then ask him about Ayer's
Sarsaparilla as a strong and
safe tonic for the young. Not
a drop of alcohol in it.
Always keep a box of Ayer's Pills in the
house. Just one pill at bedtime, now and
then, will ward off many an attack of
biliousness, indigestion, sick-headache.
How many years has your doctor known
these pills? Ask him all about them.
