The Same... 1 Old Sarsaparilla. > | That’s Ayer’s. The same old f . sarsaparilla as it was made and C sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer Ho years \ ago, In the laboratory it is f different. There tuedern appli- J auces lend speed to skill and Y experience. But the sarsapa- 1 rilla is the same old sarsaparilla I that made the record—50 years J 1 of cures. Why don’t we better it? Wfell, we’re much in the I i of the Bishop and the J Condition raspberry : “ Doubtless, ” he j said, “God might have made a better berry, But’ doubtless, also, lie naver did. ’’ Why ? don’t we better the sarsaparilla? ( We can’t. We are using the f same old plant that cured the I Indians and the Spaniards. It has not been bettered. And since tee make sarsaparilla com¬ pound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making some secret chemical compound we might.... But we’re not. We’re making the same old sar¬ saparilla to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it’s the same old, sarsaparilla be¬ cause it works the same old cures • It’s the sovereign blood purifier, and— it’s Ayers. Bad Mall Service.
