 About two years ago. after suffering for nearly two years from rheumatic gout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, ment in Chicago paper that man had been relieved of this distressing com plaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. 1 then decided to make trial of this medicine, and took 1t regularly for eight months, and am pleased to state that it has effected complete cure. I have since had no re- turn of the disease. - Mrs. k. Irving Dodge, no West 125th st., New York.
 cone year ago I was taken i'll with inflammatory rheumatism, being con fined to my house six months. l came out of the sickness very much debili- tated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in every way. l commenced using Ayers Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once gaining in strength and sonn recovering my usual health. ! cannot say too mueh in praise of this well-known medicine" = Mrs. l..
