Ayer’s Sarsaparilla $ -Pg. 1 L widely known jS A as one of the most fl e ® ectu& l remedies JIFW ever diseovered for cleansing the sys tern ana purifying the blood. It has stood the test of years, with a con stantly growing rep- HMMr ■ utation, based on its intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re markable cures, So mild as to be safe and beneficial to children, and yet so searching as to effectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such os the scrofulous and syphilitic contamination, Impurities, or diseases that have lurked in the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful cures, many of which are publicly known, of Scrofiila, and all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers, Entptions, and eruptive dis orders of the skin, Tumors* Blotches, Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores. St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipe las, a Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul“ derations of the Uterus, Stomach, and Liver. It also cures other com plaints, to which it would not seem esjieci ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease, Female Weakness, Debility, and Leucorrho&a, when they are manifesta tions of the scrofulous poisons. It is an excellent restorer of health and strength in the Spring. By renewing ths appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, it dissipates the depression and listless lan guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears, people feel better, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. The system moves on with renewed vigor and a new lease of life. PUBPJRKD BT Or. J. C.

SOLD BT ALL DRUGGISTS EVKRYWHEB* SICIUAN Every year increases the populari ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit alone. We ean affirare our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring Gray or Faded Hair to its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous* and silken. The scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop erties, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In baldness, it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create a new growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco nomical Hair Dressing ever used, as it requires fewer and gives the hair a splendid, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D., State Assayer of Massachusetts, says, “The constituents are pure, and care fully selected for excellent quality; and I consider it the Best Prepa ration for its intended purposes.” SoUbyaU Dntyafefe m 4 Dealtn »» Jfotatnu.
