EXPERIENCE.


The Rev. Il. p. Wilds, well-knOwn city
missionary in New York, and brother
of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes
az follows:
"7S E. 54th ST., NeW York, May l6, 1882.
MEssRs. j. c. AVER 4 Co., Gentlemen
Last winter | was troubled with most
uncomfortable itching humor affecting
more especially my limbs, which itched so
intoerably at night, and burned so intense
ly, that | could scarcely bear any clothing
over them. | was also sufferer from a
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system good
eal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, by observation Of
many other cases, and from personal use
IN former years, | began taking it for the
above-named disorders. My appetite i'm
proved almost from the first dose. After
! short time the fever and itching were
illayed, and all signs of irritation OF the
skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved, until
ii is now excellent. | feel hundred per
sent stronger and | attribute these results
to tile use of the SARSAPARILLA, which
| recommend with all confidence as the
1est blood medicine ever devised. ! took
in small doses three times a day, and
used. in all, less than two bottles. I place
these facts at your service. hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, 2. p. WILDs."
The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptability of AYERS SARsA-
pARILLA to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood. and a
weakened vitality.
