Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
\ COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to be the mf^tef
fectual Alletauve that can be made. It is a con- |
ci ntrateil extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances ol still greater alterative power*as to |
all< rtl an effective antidote lor the disi uses Sarsapai illis is !
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is '
wanted by those who suffer I rorn St ruinous complaints,
and that one which w ill accomplish their cure must prove !
ot immense service to this large class o] our atllicted lei |
low-citizens. How completely this compound will do it |
has been proven by experiment on main of the worst j
cases to be lotiud ot the lollowing complaints :

Indiuestion. Ervsii-i.i.A.-, ROSE OK ST. ANTHONY'S KIKE,
and indeed the w hole class of eoiuplaiuta arising Iroin
IMPPKITV OP THE RI.OOD.
This compound will be found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu
mors wnieh fester in the blood at that season of the year.
By the timely expulsion of tin m many rankling disor
ders ale nipped in the bud. Multitudes can. by the aid
ol this remtdy. spare themselves from the endurance ol j
eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system ;
will strive to rid itself of corruptions, il not assisted to
do this through the natural channels of the body by an I
alterative inn. cine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood {
whenever you find its impurities bursting through the !
skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you i
lind it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it i- foul, and your feelings will tell you when. !
Even where no paiticular disorder is telt people enjoy
better health, and live longer, fur cleansing the blood.
K-ep the Plood li< alth.v, ami all i< well ; hut with 11• i~
phulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health.
Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the gua
machinery ot lite is disordered or overthrown.
Sar.-npaiilla has. anil deserves much, the reputation ot
accomplishing these ends. Rut the world has been egre
gimHy deceived by preparations of it, partly because
the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed lor
it. but more because many preparations, pretending to
be concentrated extracts of it. contain but little ol the
virtue of Sarsaparilla. or anything else.
During late years the public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Kxtract ol'Sar-a
parilla lor one dollar. Most of these have been (rands j
upon the sick, tor they not only contain little, if any
Sarsaparilla. but often no curative properties whatever.
Hem e, bitter and painful disappointment has Ddiowid
the use ol the various extracts of Sar-aparilla which j
flood the market, until the name itself is jn-tly de
spised, and has become synonymous with imposition and I
cheat. Still we call this compound Ssr.-aparilla. and in
tend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name
Irom the load of obloquy whidh rests upon it. And we
think we have ground lor believing it has virtue- whi- li
are irresistible by the ordinary run of the di-e.ises it is
intemb-d to cure. In order to secure their complete
cradi at ion Irom tin system, the remedy should li> j .Vi
ciously taken according to dire ti--i-.- oti the t>- ttle.
