Washington Irving said, he
supposed a certain hill was
called Rattlesnake Hill" be-
cause it abounded in 6ntter-
flies. The "rule of contrary"
governs other names. Some
bottles are, supposedly, labeled
"Sarsaparilla" because they are
full of well, we don't know
what they are full of, but we
know it's not sarsaparilla; en-
cept, perhaps, enough for a fla
vor. There's only one make of
sarsaparilla that can be relied on
to be all it claims. It's Ayers.
1t has no secret to keep. Its
formula is open to all physicians.
This formula was examined by
the Medical Committee at the
Worlds Fair with the result
that while every other make of
sarsaparilla was excluded from
the Fair, Ayers Sarsaparilla
was admitted and honorcd by
awards. 1t was admitted be-
cause it was the best sarsapa-
rilla. 1t received the medal as
the best. No other sarsaparilla
has been SO tested or so honorcd.
Good motto for the family as
we'll rs the Fair: Admit the best,
exclude the rest.
Any Doubt abouttti Send for the "cnrsbooh."
