"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they

between the pain in my side and the

work was drag to me, with no prospect

DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried it and
who know they were cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing strong
as this personal tcstim ony. 1t throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of expert
ence challenging every skeptic with
positive ~ kaoIC." Ayers Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in a complete cure:
Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and
went on to course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are tn ousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, a little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the
