SMITH, of Towanda, Pa., whose constitution was completely broken ,down, is cured by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. He writes: “ For eight years, I was, most of the time, a. great sufferer from constipa- tion, kidney trouble, and indiges- tion, so that my constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and took nearly seven bottles, with such excellent results that my stomach, bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con- dition, and, in all their functions, as regular as clock-work. At the time I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 129 pounds; I now can brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so good health. If you could see me be- fore and after using, you would want me for a. traveling advertisement.
