June 2*2, 1S55. 7 tf AYER'S PILI^, Anew and singularly successful remedy for the cure of all Bilious diseases ? Costivencss, Indigestion, Jaundicc, Dropsy, Ilheumatism, Fevers, Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamm*?nno tVin r.rn.ot Si#lo TUoV nnd Limbs, Female Complaints, &e. &c. Indeed, very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medicinc is not more or less required, and much sickness and Rulfering mi^ht bo preTcnted, if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more frcelj used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicious use of u good purgative This is alike' true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and , Bilious derangements. They all tend to bocome or produce the deep seated and' formidable distempers -.which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Till has been perfected, with consummate skill to meet that demand. An> extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cqres have been cflccted beyond belief, were they not sub stantiatcd by persons of such cxalteu position and character as to forbid the suspicion cf untruth. Among the many eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, wc may mention: _ Prof. J. M. Locks, Analytical Chemist, of Cincinnati, whose high professional character is endorsed by John McLean, Judge of tlio Supreme Court of the United States. Tnos. Cor win, Secretary of the Treasury. Hon. J. M. Whioht, Governor of Indiana. N. LoNawonrn, great wine grower of the West. Also, Dit. J. It. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of New York City, endorsed by Hon. W. L. Maucy, Secretary of State. Wm. fi. Astor, the richest man in America. S. Leland & Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan Hotel, and many others. , ' Did space pennit, we could give many hundred certificates, from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence cvon more convincing than the experience of eminent public men i$ found in their effects upon trial. , These Pills, the result of Ions; investigation and study, are o fie rod to the public as the best and most complete which the present state of msdiotf science can afford. They arc compounded not of 11j f flriirrc t'aa Imf n f <Via i n i ni nnl V Wt uiuMMtnv-o, t/Uk VI nn- at^uiuuuu TU IUL> only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical.' process in a state of purity, and combined together .. in such a manner as to insure the best results. Thttsystem of composition for medicines has been found in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a moro efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any procpss. The reason is pctfoctly.6p?vious. Whilo by the old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with moro or less of'acn-monious and injurious Qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired for tho curative effect is present- All the inert and obnoxious aual-itics of ench substance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Henco it & self-evident the effects should provo, as they ha/ve * proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a sunt, more powerful antidote to disease than any medicme known to the world. ? As it is frequently expedient that my mtSeU$ should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physician, and as he oould not properly judge Of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have supplied the accurate Formula by which both my. . Pectoral aiid Pills are made to the whole- body off Practitioners in the United Stales and British Amer-. ican rrovmces. 11, However, tncre wwa m im ono who has not received them, the/ <Hk"promptly forwarded bv mail to his retiUWt.

The Cherry rectoral pronounced by scientific 'men to do a wondarflil medicine before its effects were known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the same thliijji my Pills, and even moro codidently, aad'aiewO- ' ing to certify that fhclr anticipations we& mora* ; than realized by thoir effects npon trial..
