Falling Health,

Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became SO weak that could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which I did, and am now
rs healthy and strong as ever. Ers.
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 tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and must say that honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever compouEded.-W. T. Fowler, n. D..
D. D. s., Greenyille, Tenn.

dyspepsia Cured.

It would be impossible for me to de.
scribe what suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time / 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 it's
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 Sarsaparilia. 1t
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes tho
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered. -

he 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
sDg, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

Hat Chests in Fashion.

It is growing, so says a woman who has
private ladies gymnasium, the fashion 10 DO
fat chestei. This woman says that the great
difficulty she finds n her profession is that
most OF the young women who ere sent to
her by doctors for a course il gymnastics to
cure some disorder, utterly refuse to take of
their stays, and SIC viii not let them practice
in them. So matters are pretty EaUch at
staHdstil. "Women come to me-" she SAYS,
''vrho have not drawn. an uufet cred breath
for years. Perfectly sound girls of 20 ara
very rare she continued, land they are not,

women are SO much in the majority that Il
has become fashionable to be So and young
girls who are inst growing up lace themselves
in with corcets and fiatten themselves down
with tight bodjces until it is absolutely i'm
possible they shall obtain their normal de
velopment. The result is not pretty, bat
they think it is, and that amounts to the
same thing. They are so afraid of broaden
ing and developing the chest that, though
they VIII walk rs much as you please, they
pers,steu,ly decline all exercise OF the upper
par of the BODY"
Thaclioray said of the New York girl in

enough today: The women here in New
