Cures Others

Will cure You, is q true statement OF the
action Of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood but. while this assertion is true Of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest. it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to inn
pose upon you, as "just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need blood-purifier
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine. for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the faint of he.
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence Of the people.

The ruling Of Postmaster Gen
eral Bissell in not allowing post
offices Of the fourth class to be To-
Gated in country stores is hardly
fair. Where postofice pays the
inunificent sum Of $6 per year it
i impossible to conduct it proper
N unless in connection with some
other business. This ruling is
liable to bring about a spirit Of
munity especially in this western
country where the communities
are far apart and the getting Of
mails is a labor. In many parts Of
Oregon the country store is the
only available place in which to
locate an Office.
