NOME But Ayers NJ INC "orh"s r@AE
There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to he an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands OF
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.
