taken for diseases originating in impure

AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, ii cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as ''just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need blood-purifier

This medicine. for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made .

eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence Of the people.
