decay. The scrofulous contamination is va
riously caused by mercurial disease, low
living. disordered digestion from unhealthy
food. impure air, filth and filthy habits,
the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be ito
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, twill
visit the iniquties 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; in 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, publication 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.
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 it is far supe-
rior to any other remedy yet devised, is
known by all who have given it 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
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
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. Ths
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 Ayers
| SARsAPARlLLA, although it is composed OF
ingredients, some Of which exceed the best
of SGrSapariKa in Alternative power. BY is
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 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 distempers
which lurk within the system or burst out
on any part of it.
We know the public have been deceived
by many compounds of SarSapariAa, 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 surprising excellence for the cure of the
affecting diseases it is intended to reach.
Although under the same name, it is very
different medicine from any other which hiss
been before the people, and is far more eff
fectual than any other which has ever been
available to them.
