a common experience to irave Dr. Ayers
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician.
1t is common experience to see AZ COM
plete cure" follow the use of few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because it is a specific for all forms of
blood disease. If disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DIR. Ayers Sars-
apari1a, acting directly the blood, re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature OF DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medi cines only suppress
disease they push the pimpies down
under the skin. they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenicai compounds but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, ard some day breaks out in vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. II
makes the fountain clean and the waters
clean. II makes the root good and
the fruit is good. It gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken
down constitution-not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface
