J. C. Ayer, & Co., and the public, to make known our experience with the use of their Err. SARK k- PARILLA in our family, by stating the.circum stances ut,der which it was taken and its ef fects. When our only child, now in his third year, was about eight months old, a sore ap peared first in smml pimples on forehead over his nose. These rapidly increased and uniting formed a loathsome, virulent sore, which finally spread over his forehead and face, not even excepting his eyelids, which became SJ swollen that hi§ eyes were closed. We called a skillful physician, who admnis tered the usually prescribad remedies. A solution of nitrate sit silver was applied until the mass of corruption which covered his entire thee turned jet black. The sore again and again hurst thro' the scorched and arti ficial skin formed by this solution. Mean while many remedies were employed without any apparent benefit. For fifteen days and nights he was constantly held by his parents to keep him from tearing open with his hands the corrupt mass which covered his face. Everythinm s having failed, we were induced by the high recommendations of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA tor the cure of Scrofulous dis ease, to give it a trial. In his treatise on Scrofula, Dr. Ayer directs a mild solution of lodide of Potash to be used as a wash while takitt the Sarsaparilla, and it was faithfully applied. • ' • Before one bottle of Sarsaparilla . had been given the sore hadinst much of its virulence and commenced ' heal. Another bottle effected an enitr6 cure . ,iind the general pre diction that the child mast' dio• contm dieted. His eyelashes which 'came • out, grew again, and his face is left .
