decay. The scrofulous- contamination ia va. | riously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy | food, impure air, filth and filthy habits. l the depressing vices, and, above all, by l 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, "I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children" The diseases it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption; Tn the glands, swellings which suppurate and be- come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and bowels, Arrangements which produce indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections' These, all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz, purificatien and invigora- ton of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with that "life of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. x Ayer's Sarsaparilla
 is compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered for this afiicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far supe- rior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial. That it 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 it 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 Syphiitic 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 when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those cases are purposely 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 depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does 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 AYER's SAEsApARnLA, althorgh il. is composed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of SarsapariNa in alteratiTe 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 fester 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 expels the distenpers which turk within the system or burst out on any part of it.
 We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of SarsapariNa, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by abun- dant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the aff1icting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same name, it is very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more eff fectual than any other which has ever been available to them.
