The following story is told Of on old 10
dy living in Buckinghsmshire. England
The husband of this ancient dame died
without making his will, for the want of
which very necessary precaution bis estate
would have passed away from bis widow,
had she not resorted to the following expe.
dient to avert the loss Of the property.
She concesled the death of her husband
and prevailed upon an old cobbler, her
neighbor, who was in person somewhat
like the deceased, to go to bed at her house
and personate him, in which character 1t
was agreed that be should dictate will,
leaving the widow the estate in question.
An attorney was sent for to draw up the
writing. The widow, who on his arrival
appeared 10 great sifliction at her good
mans danger. began to ask questions Of
her pretended husband, calculated to elici,
the answers she expected aud desired
The cobbler groaned aloud, and looking as
much like person going TO give up the
ghost as possible, feebly answered. 10
tend to leave you half my estate. and
Thick the poor old shoema' er who lives op.
posite is deserving the o'her half, for he has
always been q good neighbor. The widow
was thunderstruck at receiving reply 80
different from that which she expected bu'.
dared not negative the cobbler's Will, for
fear of losing the whole property. while the
old rogue 10 bed (who wss himself the poor
old shoemaker living opposite, laughed in
bis sleeve, and divided with her the fruits
of project which the widow had intended
for her sole benefit.

unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits. the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the ycncreal infection. Whatever be its origin,

" from parents to children unto the third and

Ayers Sarsaparilla

Is compounded from tho most effcctual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper and for the cure Of the
disorders it entails That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given Il a trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputab,y
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-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery.
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fir, SAT- Stt
Rheum, Scald 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 AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo
learned the directions for its use, and somc Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
al! 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.
Scrofula dcprcsses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy cQpstitu-
tons. Hence il tends TO shorten, and docs
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considera-
tions has led us to spend years in perfacting q
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
We now offer to the public under the name OF
ArER's SARsAPARILLA, although it Is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed tho
best of Sdrsapdriua in Alternative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge ont
the foul corruptions that rot and foster in tho
blood purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its
virtues this remedy stimulates the v
tions, and thus expels the distempers whica
lurk within tho system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know tho public have been deceived BY
many compounds of iSarsapa,tl2a, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. It's 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 the same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and il
far moro effectual than any other which has
ever boon available to them
