SCROFULA
and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipellas,
Eczema, Blotches, Ringworm, Tumors, Car.
buncles, Boils, and Eruptions of the Skin,
are the direct result of an impure state of the
blood.
To euro these diseases the blood must bo puri.
fled, and restored to a healthy and natural condi-
tion. Aran's SARSAPARILLA has for over forty
years been recognized by eminent medical au-
thorities as the most powerful blood purifier in
existence. It frees the system from all foul hu-
mors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes
all traces of mercurial treatment, and proves it-
self a complete master of all scrof tlous diseases.
A Recent Cure of Scrofulous Sores.
"Sone months ago I was troubled with scrofu-
lous sores (ulcers) on my legs. The limbs were
badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores dis-
charged large quantities of offensive matter.
Every remedy I tried failed until l used AvitR's
SARSAPARILLA, Of which 1 Itave now taken three
bottles, with the result that the sores are healed
and my general health greatly improved. I feel
very grateful for the good your medicine has done
me. -Yours respectfully, Mas. ANN O'BRIAN,"
148 Sullivan St„ New'ork, June 24, 1882.
fir- All persons interested aro invited to
cal on Mrs. O'Brian ; also upon the Rev. Z.
P. Wilds of 78 East 54th Street, Now York
City, who will take pleasure in testifying to
the wonderful efiicacy of Ayer's Sarsaparil-
la, not only in the curd of this lady,but in
his own ease and many others witin his
knowledge.
The well-known writer on the Boston Herald, B.
W. BALI., of Rochester, .M%L,writes, Juno 7, 1882:
"Having suffered severely for somo years with
Eczema, and having fol led to lind rel lei from other
remedies, 1 have made use, during the past three
months, of AVEtt's SARSAPARILLA which has
effected a complete cure. 1 consider It a magniti,
cent remedykrall blood diseases."
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
stimulates and regulates the action of the di-
gestive and assimilative organs, renews and
strengthens the vital forces, and speedily cures
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Rheumatic Gout,
Catarrh, General Nobility, and all diseases
arising front an tmpoverlshed or corrupted coudt-
tion of the blood, and a weakened vitality.
It is incomparably the cheapest blood medicine,
on account ot its concentrated streugth,and grime,
power over disease,
