"In May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on it's head and body. We ap.
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores increased in number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in a few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. In a few days a marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin-
ished, and finally ceased altogether.
The child is livelier, its skin is fresher,
