Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has enJailed more suffering
or hastened the breaking up of the constitu.
tion than catarrh; the sense of smell, taste
sight, hearing, the human voice, the mind-one
or more and sometimes all, yield to its destruc.
tive influence; the poison distributed through
out the system by 1t attacks every vital force
and breaks up the most robust OF constitutions:
ignored because but little understood by most
physicians those suffering from il have little
hope to be relieved of IL this side of the grave:
II is time then that the popular-treatme OF
this terrible disease by remedies within the
reach of all pass ed into hands at once compe-
tent and trustworthy; the new and hithei to
untrieu method adopted by DR.. Sanford in the
preparation of his Radical Cure has won the
hearty approval of thousands; 1t is instan Ia
neous in atfOrdrg relief in all head colds,
sneezing, snufhIlg and Instructed breathing,
and rapidly removes the most oppressive
srm ptoms, clearing the mead, sweetening the
breath restoring the sense OF smell, taste and
hearing, and nutralizlng the constitutional
tendency OF the disease towards the lungs,

DYSPEPSIA Cured,


It would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time 1 began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds Of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for short time, my headache disap-
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. - Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. 1t is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered

Falling Health.

Ten years ago my health began to fail.
/ was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. L tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and l am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
E. L. Williams, Alexandria, MINI.
have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. / have
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and must say that l honestly
believe it TO be the best blood medicine
ever compounded.-W. F. Fowler, NJ. D.,

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

In Tie last twelve years they have loaned
to certain European governments nearly
