Fifty Years Ago.
Tills is the cradle in which there grew
That thought of a philanthropic hrain:
A remedy that would make life new
1’or the multitudes that were racked
with pain.
’Twas sarsaparilla, as made, you know
fly Ayer, |imc so years ago.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
was in its infancy half a cen*
tury ago. To-day it doth “be¬
stride the narrow world like a
colossus.” "What is the secret
of its power? Its cures! The
number of them! The wonder
of them! Imitators have fol
lowed it from the beginning of
its success. They are still be¬
hind it. Wearing the only
medal granted to sarsaparilla
in the World’s Fair of 1893,
it points proudly to its record.
Others imitate the remedy;
tkey can’t imitate the record:
