The Doctor's First Question "How are your bowels?" This is generally the first question the doctor asks. He knows what a sluggish liver means. He knows what a long list of distressing com- tk plaints result from constipation. He knows that headaches, bilious attacks, indigestion, impure blood, and general debility are often promptly relieved by a good liver pill. We wish you would talk with your own doctor about this subject Ask him at the same time if he approves of Ayer^s Pills. Do as he says. ).C.AuerCo..Lowell.Ma^
