The Same...
Old Sarsaparilla.

That's Ayers. The same old
I sarsaparilla as it was made and
sold by DIR. J. c. Aver 90 gears
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli-
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa-
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record-5O years
of cures. Why don't we better
] it? Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: Doubtless, he
said, "God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did" Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla1
We can't. We are using the
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. 1T
has not been bettered. And
! since zoe make sarsaparilla COM
pound out OF sarsapariila plant,
we see no way of improvement.
OF course, II we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might 80. But we're not.
We're making the same old sar-
J saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
same oId sarsapGrfIia be-
cause it works the same oId
cures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and--it's Ayers.

in failing digestion, distressing, ring

depression, neuralgia and lassitude.
Spring days afford every one the OPP
portunity for shaking off old weak
ness and persistent disorders.
Physicians of every school have
been from the start urged to inquire
into the formula of Paine's celery
compound, that they might satisfy
themselves of its wonderful power of
making the sick we'll. Prof. Edward
E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., as soon as
he presented Paine's celery compound
to his fellow physicians, was always
anxious to have the invigorator tried
in cases that had resisted the usual
methods of treatment, that he might
prove the truth of every claim made
for his newly discovered formula for
Paine's celery compound. The great
remedy always gave relief, and 80
cases out of 100 made people well.
Paine's celery compound cannot be
judged by the standard of any ordi-
nary medicine, sarsaparilla Dr. nerve
tonic. 1t is a great modern, scientific
discovery, singularly unlike any
remedial agent that has aver aimed to
effect a similar p~urpose-to make peo-
pie we'll.
Paine's celery compound is the one
real summer remedy known to-day
that never fails to benefit. Get Paine's
celery compound, and only Paine's
celery compound, if you wish to be
well.
