SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipe.
lss, Eczema, BlOtches, ItingwOrm, Tu-
mors, Carbuncles, BOils, and Eruptions
Of the Skin, are the direct result of an
impure state Of the blood.
TO cure these diseases the blood must be
purified, and restored to healthy and ma
tural condition. AYERS SARsAPARILLA has
for over forty years been recognized by emil
nent medical authorities as the most pow
srful blood purifier in existence. 1t frees
the system from all foul humors, enriches
and strengthens the blood, removes all traces
Of mercurial treatment, and proves itself
complete master Of all scrofulous diseases.
A Recent Cure Of ScrofulOus Sores.
"Some months ago l was troubled with
ecrofulous sores tulcers) on my legs. The
limbs were badly swollen and in1amed, and
sss sores large audanttes sre Of

Of which have now taken three bottles,
with the result that the sores are healed,
and my general health greatly improved.
feel very grateful for the good your
medicine has done me.
Yours respectfully. Mrs. ANN OBRIAN."
14S Sullivan St., New York, June q, 1882.
T All persons interested are invited
to call on Mrs. O'Brian; also upon the
Rev. z. p. Wilds Of 78 East Gath Street,
New York City, who will take pleasure
In testifying to the wonderful efficacy Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, not only in the cure
0f this lady, but in his own case and
many others within his knowledge.
The well-known ,rriter on the Boston Herald,
B. ". BALL, Of Rochester, MI, writes, June
Z, 1882:
"Having suffered severely for some years
with Eczema, and having failed to find relief
the past three months, of AYERS SARsAPA-
NILLA, which has effected a complete cure.
! consider 1t q magnificent remedy for all
blood Diseases"

How Old Sol Used 10 Shine.

In 1903 and 1904 the Rhine, Loire,
and Seine ran dry. The heat in several
French provinces during the summer
of 1705 was equal to that in glass
furnace. Meat could be cooked by
merely exposing it to the sun. Not a
soul dared venture out between noon
and p. m.
In 1718 many shops had to close.
The theaters never opened their doors
for three months. Not drop of water
fell during six months.
In 1773 the thermometer rose to 118
degrees.
In 1779 the heat at Bologna was so
great that great number of people
were stifed. There was not sufficient
air for the breath, and people had to
take refuge under ground.
In July, 1893, the heat became intol-
cradle. Vegetables were burned up,
and fruit dried on the trees. The fur
niture and woodwork in dwelling
houses cracked and split up. Meal
went bad In an hour.
