for its cures of colds and Group; Cham.

and Chamberiain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel CON-

None But Ayers at the Worlds Pair

Ayers Sarsaparllla enjoys the ex
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other Sarsaparillas
sought by every means to obtain a
showing of their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
of the rule forbidding the entry Of
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision of the Worlds fair authorities
in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is not a patent medicine. It does not
belong to the list of nostrums. 1t is
