KIDNEY PAINS,
Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
hammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years. By the
advice of physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine a short time was completely
Cured
NV eyes are now in a splendid condi-
ton, and 1 am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II.
For number of years I was troubled
with a humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until 1 commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected complete cure, and
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
fers.-C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. H.
From childhood, and until with few
months, 1 have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. l have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider tia
great blood purifier. - Mrs. c. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for year with inhamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, l was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine I have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of intiamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light Of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. : W. E. Suther-

AS a GENERAL thing, no class Of workmen
have suffered more by strikes than the
printers. The strikes necessarily stimulated
the stereotype business, and made the plates
80 cheap that more than half the pewspa'
pers in the country now buy them, and con-
seqnently have employment for fswer COM
positors. And, but what is not ut all sur
prising to people whose brains are of any
use to them, the papers which make such
loud pretensiops of lberaliiy to their en-
ployees are those that employ the smallest
number Of printers and use the largest
quantity Of stereotyped matter shipped from
