Rheumatism,

DEING due to the presence Of uric
- acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, saw by an advertise
-uent in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. l then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected
complete cure. l have since had no re.
1urn of the disease" Mrs. r. Irving
Dodge, 10 West l25th ST., New York.
Gone year ago I was taken i'll with
infammatory rheumatism, being con-
fined to my house six months. / came
out of the sickness very much debili-
fated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength
and soon recovering my usual health.
