testimony :
“About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
diseomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief. I saw by an advertise
ment in a Chicago that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plaint, after lona suffering, by taking
Aver’s Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state tliat it has effeered a
complete cure. I have since bad no
turn of the disease.”— Mrx R. Irving

“One year I was taken ill with
Inflammatory rheumatism, Iteing con
fined to my house six months. I came
out of the sickness rery nmeh debili
tated, with no appetite, and iny system
disordered in every way. I commenced
using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength
amt soon recovering my usual health.
