Ayers Sarsaparilla

Is compounded from the most efectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure Of tho
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it does corn
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup.
lions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry.
sipelas, Rose or St. Anthonys Fire, Salt
Rheum, Seald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgis,
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 it has made wheR
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all Soc
tions 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 constitu-
tons Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration Of human
life. The vast Importance OF these considera-
tons has led us to spend years. in perfecting 9
remedy which is adequate ~ its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name Of
AYERS SARsApARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some q which exceed the
best Of Sarsaparila 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 ont the causes of disease, ana
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates aie vital tnnc-
tons, and thus expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part Of it.
We know the pnbIic have been deceived BY
many compounds of SrrsdposAS, that promises
much and did nothing bat they will neither b
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under tho sauna
name. it is very different medicine from any
othor which has been before the people, and =
far more eFectual than any other which haG
ever been available TO t,eR
