They never heed a word I speak;
I try to gie a froon,
But aye 1 hap them up an' cry,

He'd bother half the toon ;
But aye 1 hap them up an cry,

At length they hear their father's fit,
An' as he steeks the door
They turn their faces to the wa',
While Tam pretends to snore.
" Ha' a' the weans been gude ?" he asks,
As he pits off his shoon'-
"The bairnies, John, are in their bode,
And lang since cuddled doon."

A Famous Doctor
Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayer's Pills
as an aperient, 'Ai) would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished suct.essors are doing.
The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of
Norwich, ('-um., recommends Ayer's
Pills as the hest of all remedies for
"Intermittent Fevers."
Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn., says: " Ayer's Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. 1 make daily use of them
in thy practice."
Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass.,
says: ‘` /laving prescribed many thou-
sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice,
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr.
A. A. Hayes, certifies: T. have made a
careful analysis of Ayer's Piltls. They
contain the active principles of well-
known drugs, isolated from inert mat-
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness.
It insures activity, certainty, and uni-
formity of -effect. Ayer's Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination."
