Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores, The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to fiow in many places whenever I mceved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used it regularly aince that time, My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect — being now able to do a good day’s work, although 73 years of aga. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’S SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21, 1882.
