PARR'S LIFE PILLS APPEAR TO AGREE WITH ALMOST EVERYBODY. Letters are received daily from Officers in the Army and Navy, Clergymen, Lawyers, Literary Men, Emigrants, Soldiers, Sailors, Miners, Travellers, and from hundreds of Ladies, stating the wonderful cures performed by Parr's Life Pills. Many people who were going down fast in life state that Parr's Pills have saved them! Parr's Pills have given them vigorous health, new life, a d new courage! Thousands confidently believe that the use of Parr's Medicine will enable them successfully to wrestle with the "grim sergeant" for many a long day. Persons having bodily ailments are earnestly recommended to resort at once to Parr's Life Pills; the result will be health, comfort, and long life. PARR'S PILLS may be taken without the slightest fear of producing the unpleasant results of much of the physic prescribed by the family doctor, and in most cases the sensation of illness vanishes after two or three pills have been taken.
