Fifty Years Ago.
Thin is the way it was hound to look
When grandfather had his “pictcr took.”
These were the shadows cast before _
The coming of Conjurer Daguerre
And his art; like a girljn a pinafore
Some day to bloom to a goddess fair.
Men certainly were not as black, we know
As they pictured them, so years ago.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
began to make new men, just
as the new pictures of men
began to be made. Thousands
of people fronted the camera
with skins made clean from
blotch and blemish, because
they had purified the blood
with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
is as powerful now as then.
Its record proves it. Others
imitate the remedy; they
can’t imitate the record:
