Our rs and....
....Other Eyes.

Our rs are just as strong as
they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them
But we have less and less cause I
to praise ourselves, since others 1
do the praising, and we are
more than willing for you to see
US through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. F. Boyce, 1
wholesale and retail druggist,
Duluth, MINI, who after a
quarter of a century of Obser-
walton writes:
CT have sold Ayers Sarsapa-
ri11a for more than rs years,
both at wholesale and retail,
and have never heard anything
but words of praise from my
customers; not a single COM
plant has ever reached me. I
believe Ayers Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
has been introduced to the gen
era1 public" This, from a
man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayers Sarsapari1la,
is strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over, which has,
''NOthing but words of praise
for Ayers Sarsaparilia.''
