Over Thirty Years Without Sickness. Mr. 11. Wettstein, a well-known, enterprising citizen of Byron, 111., A.mtes: “Before 1 paid much attento regulating the bowels, 1 hardly knew a well day; but since I t learned the evil results of constipation, and the efficacy of . AYER’S , Pills, I have not had one day’s sickness I for over thirty years — not one attack that did not readily yield to this • remedy. My wife had been, previous to our marriage, an invalid for years. She had a prejudice against cathartics, but as soon as she began to use Ayer’s Pills her health was restored.” AYER’S gF® Cathartic Fills Medal and Diploma at World’s Fair.

II Nacbtrieb “1 have never had a days sickness in rny life," said a middle-aged man the other-day “What a comfort it would be,” sighs some poor invalid, “to be in his place for a year or two.” Yet half the invalids we see might be just as healthy as he. If they would only take proper care of themselves, eat proper food —ami digest it. It’s so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health. Food makes health. it makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because be always digested his food, ami you con'd become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his.
