Falling Health.

TeD4fears ago my health began to fail.
/ was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I 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 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. I have
also prescribed it as tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and must say that 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
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.

Dyspepsia Cured.

It would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care of various physicians, and tried
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.
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. -
