substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.

“ Ayer’s Pills are invaluable tome, and
are my constant companion. I have been
a severe sulferer from Headache, and your
Pills are the ouiy tiling 1 could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest phytic
1 have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, ami 1 always do so
when occasion offers.
