origin, II Is hereditary in the constitution,
descending "from parents to children unto
the third and fourth generation; indeed, Il
seems TO be the rod of Him who says, 81 will
visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their
children" The diseases it originates take
various names, according to the organs 1t

tuberclcs, and finally Consumption; IN the
glands, swellngs which suppurate and be.
come ulcerous sores in the stomach and
bowels, arrangements which produce indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on
the skin, eruptiye and cutaneous affections.
These, all having the same origin, require the
same remedy, viz, publication and invigora.

these dangerous distcmpcrs leave you. With
feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot
have health; with that "lifc of the flesh

Ayers Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most efectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure OF
the disorders II entails. That 1t Is far supe-
rior to any other remedy yet devised. Is
known by all who have given 1t trial. That
Il does combine virtues truly extraordinary
in their effect upon this class of complaints,
IL indisputably proven by the great multitude
of publicly known and remarkable cures 1t
has made of the following diseases Kings
Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors,
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores,
Erysipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire,
Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from
tuberculous deposits in tho lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy. Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports Of individual
cases may be found In Ayers AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may DO
learned the directions for its use, and some
of the remarkable cures which 1t has made
when all other remedies had failed to afford
relief. Those cases are purposely taken
from all sections of the country, in order
that every reader may have access TO some
one who can speak TO him of its benefits from
personal experience. Scrofula depresses the
vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far
more subject TO disease and its fatal results
than are healthy constitutions. Hence 1t
tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten,
the average duration of humsn life. The
vast importance of these considerations has
led us to spend years In perfecting remedy
which is adequate to its cure. This we now
offer to the public under the name Of ArER's
SARsApARILLA, although 1t is composed OF
ingredients, some of which exceed the best
of SarsapariRd in alternative power. BY its
aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge
out the foul corruptions that rot and tester
in the blood, purge out the causes of disease,
and vigorous health will follow. BY its pecu.
liar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital
functions, and thus cxpels the distempers
which Turk within the system or burst out
on any part of II.
We know the public have been deceived
by many compounds of SdrsapdriAd, that
promised much and did nothing; but they
will neither be deceived nor disappointed in
this. It's virtues have been proven by abun.
dant trial, and there remains no question OF
its surprising excellence for the cure Of the
affecting diseases II Is intended to reach.
Although under the same name, II is very
different medicine from any other which has
been before the people, and Is far more ef-
fectual than any other which has ever been
available to them.
