The Same...
Old Sarsaparilla.
That'a Ayer's. The same old
arsaparilla at it was made and
sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer HO yeare
Tn the laboratory It Is
different. There modern appli
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the arsapa
rilla it the eame old aaraaparilla
that made the record SO year
of eurea. Why don't we better
it? Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: "Doubtless," he
aid, "Ood might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did." Why
don't we better the earsaparilla?
We can't. We are using the
eame old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. It
has not been bettered. And
since tee make sarsaparilla com
pound out of earsaparilla 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 ear
aparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
same old maraaparilla be
cause it works the tame old
eurea. It's the sovereign blood
C purifier, and We Avers.
