Long-Standing

Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be quite so rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain. Read these testimonials : —

“‘ For two years I suffered from a se- vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles cation by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair triai without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- pletely cured.’’>—John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence st., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out onmyarm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my expe- rience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight.””"—Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.

“T had a dry scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly ; and, as my broth- er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months.” —T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.

** Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured.’”’— Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush, Haverhill, Mass.
