Reading the legend, For Valor,' on that bit
of bronze, you know that somewhere, some
when, in the hour of trial and test, the man G
with the medal lowered above his fellows like
a giant "He looks like the others? But you Il
cant measure him by looks. His measure was
taken on that day of test and trial which Z
proved him greater than the rest, and his
greatness was marked for all time with the
bronze badge that made him-the man with
the medal.
There's medicine with a medal - flyers

like the rank and file of Sarsaparillas except 4
that it is marked by the medal. We know 4

test and trial, Ayers Sarsaparilla lowered =
above the rest like giant That somewhere =
was at the great Worlds Fair of 1893, where Is
the only medal awarded to Sarsaparila was
awarded to Ayers, for purity of preparation
and power of healing.

Sarsaparias that look alike, let the medal re- 4
mind you that it alone stood the Worlds Fair :
test, and is alone Endorsed as the Safe Sarsa- :

The medal marks greatness but does not IS
make it. What Ayers Sarsaparilla was proved g
to be at the Fair, it had been for half CEN

world. It's not greatest because it wears the a
medal. But it wears the medal because its
