decay. The scrofnlous contamination Is va
riously caused by mcrcurial disease, low
living, disordered digestion from unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits,
the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the vcncrcal infection. Whatever be Its
origin, it is hereditary in the constitution,
descending "from parents to children unto
the third and fourth generation indeed, II
seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81 will
visit the iniquitics of the fathers upon their
children" The diseases it originates take
various names, according to the organs 1t
attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces
tubcrcles, and finally Consumption; in the
glands, swellings which suppuratc and be-:
come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and
bowels, arrangements which produce indi-
gcstion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on
the skin, cruptivc and cutaneous affections.
These, all having the same origin, require tho
same remedy, viz, publication and invigora.
ton of the blood. Purify the blood, and
these dangerous distcmpcrs leave you. With
feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot
have health; with that "lifc of the flesh"
healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.
Ayers Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most efiectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distcmper, and for the cure OF
the disorders 1t entails. That 1t Is far supe-
rior to any other remedy yet devised, is
known by all who have given it a trial. That
1t 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 the 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 be
learned the directions for its use, and some
of the remarkable cures which II has made
when all other remedies had failed to afford
relief. Those cases arc purposcly 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 deprcsscs the
vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results
than arc healthy constitutions. Hence 1t
tends to shorten, and docs greatly shorten,
the average duration of human 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 AYERS
SARsAPARILLA, although II is composed Of
ingredients, some of which exceed the best
of SaysapariHa 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 foster
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 distempcrs
which Turk within the system or burst out
on any part of 1t. :,
We know tho public have been deceived
by many compounds of Sarsapdr,Ad, 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 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 CT.
fectual than any other which has ever been
available to them.
