Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure of the
disorders it entails. That il is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by ell
who have given it trial. That it does COM
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 ewellings, Tumors, Erup
6ons, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipslas, Rose OF. st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, 6cald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous 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 AYER's AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratutous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which il has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all Sec
tons 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
Scrofala 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 pcriecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer TO the public under the name OF
ArER's 6A1sAFAnILrA, slthough h is com
posed Of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of .SarsapdriNd in alternative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge on,
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func
tons, and thus expeas the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part Of 1t. 80
We know the pghlic have been deceived by
many compounded Saf&parilia, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
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 il is in.
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, il is very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and Is
far more efectual than any other which has

contamination is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, flth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
"from parents to children unto the third and
fourth generation" indeed. it seems to be the
rod Of Him who says, will visit the iniqui-
ties Of the fathers upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
ducc indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
plants; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. publication and
invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave you.

not have health with that " life of the flesh "
