I tbink his blood must have contained the humor for at least tea years; but it did not show, except in the form Ot a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about fire years ago. From a few spots which ap­ peared at that time, It gradually spread BO as to cover his entire body. I assure you he was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, whan he began using your medicine. Now, there are few men of his ago who eujoy as good health aa be has. I could easily name fifty persona fko would testify to the facto in his ease. Yourstruly, W. M. PHILLIPS." FROM THE FATHER: a duty for me to state t<? you the benefit I have derived from the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. 81x months ago I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to causa the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA i» April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores haw all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect--being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, Ana's SAKSAPAKILLA. Glover, Vu, Oct. Yours gratefully, HI&AX PHILLIPS." AYEK'S SARSAPARILLA cures Scrotal^ and all Scrofnlous Complaints, Erysip» •las, Eczema, Ring-worm, Blotches. Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions of the Skin.
