    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.

wanted. It was a mail train from

desire. We have only two morn¬
ing'mails from that way now.

the following:
“As such wide notoriety has
been given in tho newspapers as
to the^act that I left my home
without the knowledge of my un¬
mediate family, I wish to speak
for myself, I did not take that
step without consideration, nor
without good and sufficient cause
which if known would he my ex¬
culpation in tho eyes of the pub¬

wish to make either accusations
or reprisals: but do claim my
right as a woman and a wife to
judge for myself between actual
unhappiness in Georgia and a
possible happiness under new
conditions and new life.
“I repeat, I make no accusa¬
tions, nor do I wish unhappiness
to any who may have been con¬
nected with me, but I do refute
