a common experience to have DR.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla prescribed by phys icisn.
1t is a common experience to see 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, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on 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 medicines only suppress
disease they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a VOL
Canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers SarSaparilla goes to the root. 1t
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t 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.
Send for DR.. Ayers Curebook, and learn
more about the cures effected by this
remedy. It's sent free, on request, by the

when a father writes that yours els the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo, writes i'll these strong terms:
"Dr. Ayers Sarsaparil1a is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind and was obliged
to remain in a dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely.'
The thousands of testimonials to the
value of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again in one form or another
the expression: THE doctors gave her
no relief; one of them directed me to
give her DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her"
