Ayers Sarsaparilla

b compounded from the most cffectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting dstemper, and for the cure OF the
disorders it entails. That IL is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it trial. That il does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints, is indisputably
proven by tho 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, Fry
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in tho lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,

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 ArER's AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for It's use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it 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.

| 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 periecting Q
remedy which is adequate to its cure. Thi.
we now offer to the public under the name OF
| AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is com
posed Of ingredients, some Of which exceed the
best of .SdrsaparIHa 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

vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar

lurk within the system or burst out on any
par: of it.
We know the public have been deceived BY
many compounds of Sarsaparilla. 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 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 IS
far more effectual than any other which has
