decay. The scrofulous contamination is VA
riously caused by mcrcurial disease, low
living, disordered digestion from unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits,
the dcpressing vices, and, above all, by
the vcncrcal infection. Whatever be its
origin, it is hereditary in the constitution,
descending "frOm parents to children unto
the third and fourth generations; indeed, 1t
seems to he the rod of Him who says, 81 will
visit the iniquitics of the fathers upon their
children" The diseases it originates take
various names, according to the organs it
attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces
tuberclcs, and finally Consumption; in tho
glands, Bwcllngs which suppurate and be-
come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and
bowels, arrangements which produce ind-
geston, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on
the skin, cruptivc and cutaneous affections.
These, all having the same origin, require tho
same remedy, viz, publication and invigora-
ton of the blood. Purify the blood, and
these dangerous distempels leave you. With
feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot
! hnve health; with that "lifc of the flesh"
! healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.
~ Ayers Sarsaparilla
Is compounded from the most etfechal 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
J 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
Syphilitic Infections, MercuriaI 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 dcpresscs the
vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results
than are healthy constitutions. Hence i,
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 pcrfecting remedy
which is adequate to its cure. This we now
offer to the public under the name of AYERS
SARsAPARILLA, although it is composed OF
ingredients, some Of which exceed the bcs
of SarSapariAa in Alternative power BY 1T
