From the time I took it 1 have never j ! had one chill, and can say that I never had I used any medicine that gave so much satis j faction as your liniment. Your ob't servant, Adam Baird. March 28th, 1864. Mr. J. Swyers: My son had a sore neck j for three months back, for which I used your liniment, and it is a perfect cure. He also had a sore leg for two years back ; I got one i of your hottles of liniment, which has cured j I it soundly. Yours, respectfully, Charles Mitchell. FREEDOM FORGE, March 28, 1864.

From Finery Edes, a wcll-knotcn merchant of Ox ford, Maine. | " I have sold large quantities of your SARSAPA RILLA, but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect and full satisfaction to those who took \ it. As fast as our people try it, they agree there has | been no medicine like it belore iu our community." j Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ul cers, Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin. From Iter. Holt. Stratton, Bristol, England. " I only do my duty to you aud the public, when 1 add iuy testimony to that you publish of the me dicinal virtues of your SARSAPARILLA. My daugh ter, aged ten, had an afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for years, which we were unable to cure until we tried your SARSAPARILLA. She has j been well for some months." From Mrs. Jane E. Bice, a well-known and much esteemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., X. J. " My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing afforded anv relief until we tried your SARSAPARILLA, which soon completely cured her." • From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely known Gage, Murray f Co., manufacturers of enamelled J papers in Nashua, X. H. " 1 had for several years a very troublesome f humor in my face, which grew constantly worse ; until it disfigured my features and became an intol erable affliction. I tried almost every thing a man could of both advice and medicine, but without any j relief whatever, until I took your SARSAPARILLA. | It immediately made my face worse, as you told me | it might fori time; but in a few weeks the new i skin began to form under the blotches, aud con- I tinned until my face is as smooth as any body's, j and lam without any symptoms of the disease that j 1 know of. 1 enjoy perfect health, and without a | doubt owe it to your SARSAPARILLA." Erysipelas —General Debility—Purify the Blood. From Dr. Ilobt. Ban in, Houston St., New York. " DR. AYKK. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions j and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your | S A RSAFARILLA, and I nave just now cured an attack of Malignant Erysipelas with it. Xo alterative wo | possess equals the SARSAPARILLA VOU have sup | plied to the profession as well as to the people." From J. E. Johnston, Esq., IVakeman, Ohio. " For twelve years. I had the yellow Erysipelas | on my right ami, during which time I tried all the ; celebrated physicians 1 could reach, and took hun | dreds of dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers ' j were so bad that the cords became visible, and the : doctors decided that my arm must be amputated. I began taking your SARSAPARILLA. Took two bot tles, and some of your PILLS. Together they have cured me. I ain now as well and sound as any body. Being in a public place, my ease is known to every bodv in this community, and excites the wonder of all." From Hon. Henry Monro, M. P. P., of Newcastle, C. IF., a leading member of the Canadian Parliar me nt. " I have used vour SARSAPARILLA in my family, for general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it to the afflicted." St. Anthony's Fire, Bose, Salt Bheum, Scald Head, Sore Eyes. From Harrey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the Tunklumnock Democrat, Pennsylvania. " Our only child, about three years of age, was attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which covered his face, aud actually blinded his eyes lor some davs. A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, Lest with them he should tear open the fes i tering and corrupt wound which covered his whole face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and applying the iodide ot potash lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when we had finished the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come j out, grew again, and he is* now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighborhood predicted i that the child must die." Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. From Dr. Hiram Stoat, of St. Louis, Missouri. " I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual remedy for* the secondare symptoms of Syphilis and for syphilitic disease than any other we possess. The profession are indebted to you for some of the best medicines we have." From A. J. French, M. D., an eminent physician of x Laurence, .trass., who is a prominent member of the Legislature of Massachusetts. "DU. AYKK. My dear Sir; I have found your I SARSAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis, j both of the primary and secondary type, anil ellec | tnal in some cases that were too obstinate to yield ; to other remedies. Ido not know what we can em ploy with more certainty of success, where a power i iul alterative is required." Mr. Chas. S. Van Liew, of New Brunswick, X.J., had dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mercury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treatment that could be applied, until the persevering use of AYEK'S SARSAPARILLA relieved him. Few cases can be found more inveterate and distressing than this, and it took several dozen bottles to cure him Leueorrhcea, Whites, Female Weakness, are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ul ceration, and are very often cured by the alterative effect of this SARSAPARILLA. Some cases require, however, in aid of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful application of local remedies. From the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr. Jacob Morrill, of Cincinnati. " I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent alterative in diseases of females. Many cases of Irregularity, Leueorrhcea, Internal Ulceration, and local debility, arising from the scrofulous diathesis, have yielded to it, and there, are few that do not, when'its effect is properly aided by local treatment." A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her name, writes .- " My daughter and mvself have been cured of a verv debilitating Leueorrhcea of long standing, by two bottles of your SARSAPARILLA.'* Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dys pepsia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured by this EXT. SARSAPARILLA. AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS possess so many advantages over the other purgatives in the market, and their superior virtues are so universally known, that we need not do more than to assure the public their quality is maintained equal to the best it ever j has been, and that they may be depended on to do all that they have ever done.
