greet the years of suffering they might
have escaped had they tried this remedy
earlier. The trouble was constitutional
not local; and, until Ayers Sarsapa-

Alternative and Blood Purifier, they were
compelled to suffer.
The wife of Samuel Page, n Austin

subject to severe headaches, the result
OF stomach and liver disorders. A per-
feet cure has been effected by Ayers
Sarsaparilla.

If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown

So II Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended TO cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness. and all
are caused BY troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding Ii cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it of through

what Mrs. Grumpy Says.

That every thing and any
thing now Is very quickly used
for advertising.
That it is new idea to have
ieweller appraise the we'd
ding presents.
That a bad speller and the
tipe writer can never be very
c0ngenial.
That in time of trouble, it is
wonderful how earthly angels
multiply,
That if society did business
on cash basis there would be
less festiyity.
That man on an income this
side of 81, 900, finds the country
healthier than the city.
That il is cited as fashionably
odd that no two of the new

That the young men and la
