decay. The scrofulous contamination Is va

the venereal Infection. Whatever be It's
origin, II Is hereditary In the constitution,
descending "from parents to children unto

seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81 will

various names, according TO the organs 1t

tubcrcles, and finally Consumption. IN the

the skin, eruptiyc and cutaneous affections.
These, all having the same origin, require the

these dangerous distempcrs leave you. With
feeble, foul, or corrupted blood. you cannot
have health; with that "life Of the flesh"

Ayers Sarsaparilla
Is compounded from the most efIectual anti.
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure OF
the disorders Il entails. That II is far supe-
rior to any other remedy yet devised, is
known by all who have given 1t a trial. That
Il does combine virtues truly extraordinary
In their effect upon this class Of complaints,
Is 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 arc 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 depresscs the
vital energies, and thus leaves Its victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results
than are healthy constitutions. Hence It
tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten,
the average duration of humPn life. The
vast importance Of these considerations has
led us TO spend years in periecting remedy
which Is adequate to its cure. This we now
offer to the public under the name of AYERS
SARsAPARILLA, although II Is composed OF
ingredients, some of which exceed the best
of SarsapariQa 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 thisJemedy stimulates the vital
functions, and thus cxpels the distempcrs
which Turk within the system or burst out
on any part Of It.
We know the public have been deceived
by many compounds Of Sdrsdpariih, that
promised much and did nothing; but they.
will neither be deceived nor disappointed in
this. Its virtues have been proven by abun.
dant trial, and there remains no question Of
its surprising excellence for the cure Of the
affecting diseases 1t Is intended TO reach.
Although under the same name, 1t is very
different medicine from any other which has
been before the people, and Is far more eff
fectual than any other which has ever been
available to them.
