cording TO Mr.. Jenney's estimate He says
that the company had larger demand for
motors during the last busy season than

smell of sarsaparilla, and a sarsa-
parilla label on the bottle, don't
make sarsaparilla that cures,
though it does make sarsaparilla
that sells-to those who know no
better. Ayers Sarsaparilla is the
sarsaparilla that cures. One bottle
of Ayers is estimated, by those who
have tried all kinds, TO do the work
of from three to six bottles of any
other kind. 1t is the most eco
nomical sarsaparilla therefore, on
the market because it cures quicker
and at less expense. The ordinary
sarsaparilla is like the old lady's
weak tea-it's tea all right, but you
have to drink half dozen cups to
get the flavor of it. Other sarsapa-
rillas, may by courtesy, be called
Isarsaparilla, but it takes too many
bottles to get any result. One of
the reasons for the superiority in
strength and
