your blood is impure. AYERS SARsAPARILLA
purges out these impurities and stimulates the or
gans of life into vigorous action, restoring the
health and expellng disease. Hence it rapidly
cures variety of complaints which are caused by
impurity of the blood, such as Scrofula, or Kings

SARsApARlLLA, and see for yourself the surprising
activity with which it ceanses the blood and cures
these disorders.
During late years the public have been mislcd
by large bottles, pretending to give quart of
Extract of Sarsaparila for one dollar. Most of
these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not
only contain little, if any Sarsaparlla, but often
no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter
disappointment has followed the useof the various
extracts of Sarsaparilla which food the market,
until the name itself has become synonymous
with imposition and cheat. Still we call this
compound 'sSarsaparila" and intend to supply
such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upon it. We think
we have ground for believing il has virtues which
are irresistible by the ordinary run fthe diseases
it is intended to cure. We can only assure the
sick, that we offer them the best Alternative which
we know how to produce, and we have reason to
believe, it is by far the most effectual purifier of
the blood yet discovered by any body.
AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL is so universally
known to surpass every other remedy for the cure
of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Group,
Bronchitis, Acipient Consumption, and for the re-
