"7s E. 54th ST., Nelc York, Mag 16, 1882.
MEssRs. j. c. AVER & Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter was troubled with most uncom-
Portable itching humor affecting more especially
my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night,
and burned so intensely, that could scarcely bear
any clothing over them. / was also a sufferer
from severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system good deal run
down. Knowing the value of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, by observation of many other cases, and
from personal use in former years, l began taking
1t for the above-named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After a
short time the fever and itching were alayed, 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 it is now excellent. 1 feel hundred per
cent stronger and attribute these results to the
use of the SARsAPARILLA, which l recommend
with all confidence as the best blood medicine
ever devised. 1 took it in small doses three
times day, and used in ALL less than two bottles.
] 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 con-
stantly coming to our notice, which prove the per-
feet adaptability of AYERS SARsAPARILLA to
the of all diseases arising from impure or i'm
poyerished blood, and weakened vitality.

ride He slipped and fell, his left leg resting
across a rail. Two wheels passed over the
leg, crushing it badly between the knee and
hip. The little fellows position was changed
by the wheels running over him, and the next
trucks would have passed over his head, but
for the timely presence of Mr.. Diffendall
ticket agent and express manager for +. O..
Grimes, who got down on the platform and
pulled him to one side. He was carried home
and physicians summoned, and it was soon
determined that amputation was necessary.

for but neither came, so our city physicians
undertook it. DR.. J. w. Herring performed
the operation, assisted by Drs. W. k. Frlnger,
