different. There modern appli

rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record 60 year
of cures. Why don't we better
it? Well, we're much in the
couditlou of the Bishop and the
raspberry : " Doubtless, " he
said, " God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, II never did." Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla?
We can't. .We are using the
ama eld plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. It
has not been bettered. And
since we 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
