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 10 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 he 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.

AYERS
SarsapariIIa

II cannot forbear to express my joy at
the relief I have obtained from the use
of AYERS Sarsaparilla. Twas afflicted
with kidney troubles for about six
months, suffering greatly with pains in
the small of my back. In addition to
this, my body was covered with pimply
eruptions. The remedies prescribed
failed to help me. l then began to take
AYERS Sarsaparilla, and, in short
time, the pains ceased and the pimples
disappeared. advise every young man
or woman, in case of sickness result
ing from impure blood, no matter how
long standing the case may be, to take
AYERS Sarsaparilla. III. L. Jarmann.

Mi jardinero Sc arrancaba los pelos al
verlas salir de la Varenne, ,-decfa Z media
voz los que le cumplimentaban.
No perdfa, sin embargo, de vista su
yerno, que habia logrado, con habiles ma
niobras, separar Clara del grupo de las
senoras, bloquearla en- un rinc6n pro-
picio.
En- aquel sitio, los dos jovenes que tanto
SO habfan amado dijeronse sonriendo las fra
ses mas peligrosas: apasionado Ell Duque, de
seoso de conquistar ell afecto de Clara y pro-
testando de su amor; arisca violenta la
sehora DerblaY, queriendo terminar una en-
trevista que la extremecfa, y elevando POGO
& POGO la voz a1n riesgo de lamar la aten-
cion de Felipe. Al yer este Bligny, cambi6
de t&ctica, dulce meloso, solo hablo de
amistad, pidiendo Clara 1nicamente que
le desc la mano en- senal de perd6n. Sus
apasionados ojos desmentfan la sinceridad de
sus palabras. Fue acercandose POGO a POGO,
hubo un momento en- que, enardecido por
la semioscuridad que reinaba, estrecho
Clara tan de cerca, que esta exclamo:
i Ten cuidado ST no to alejas, a1n
riesgo de dar an escandalo, llamo mi ma
rido.
Ell duque habfa excitado la exaltaci6n de
