May do for a stupid boys excuse but
what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
to recognize the want of tonic and
blood-purifer? Formerly, course OF
bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule in well-regulated families bnt now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan s. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton ST..
Boston, writes: My daughter, now p
years old, was in perfect health until a
year ago when she began to complain OF
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness
indigestion, and loss of appetite. / con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood and induced her to take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood-making organs to
healthy action, and in due time reestab
lished her former health. l find Ayers
Sarsaparilla most valuable remedy for
the lassitude and debility incident to
spring time"
j. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co,
Brooklyn, n. ", says: Gas Spring
Medicine, find splendid substitute
for the old-time compounds in Ayers
Sarsaparilla, with few doses of Ayers
Pills. After their use, feel fresher and

are the consequences II the members OF the church
disagreed with him, II their privilege either to
leave the church or try to remove him. Mr.. Ward
counseled the congregation to stand by the church
