Old Sarsaparilla.

That's Ayers. The same old
sarsapurilla as it was made and
sold by Or. JIG. Aver 80 pears
ago. IN the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli-
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sorsapa-
riila is the same old earsaparilla
that made the record-5O years
ofctsres. 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
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did" Why
don't We better the sarsaparilla?
We can't. We are using the
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the spaniurds, 1t
has not been bettered. And
since ice make sarsupurilla COM
pound out of sarsupariIla plant,
we see no way of Improvement.
OF course, il We were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. But we're not.
We're making the same old su,-
saparilla to cure the same 80
diseases. You can tell it's the
same old sarsapari1E0 be-
cause it works the same OLD
cures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and-ft'S Ayers.
