ALBERT KBEI-, President. M. 1.. 8TKES, Secretary FROM THE FATHER: FROM THE SON: To • l Gentlemen: My father resides at Glorer, VU He has been a great sufferer from Scrof­ ula, and tlie inclosed letter will tell you what a marvelous ellect Ayer's Sarsaparilla" has had in his case. I think his blood must hare contained tlie liumor for at least ten years; but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which ap­ peared at that time, it gradually spread so as to corcr liis entire body. 1 assure you lie was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when be began using your medicine. Now, there are few men of Uis age who enjoy as good health - as he has. 1 could easily name fifty persona who would testify to tho facts in his case. Yours truly, W. M. PHILLIPS." "It is both a pleasure and a duty for me to state to yon the benefit I hare derived from the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Six months apro I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. Tho" humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and tho skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flo^t in mafiv places whenever"; I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced tho use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used It regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at oneo. The sores hare all healed, and I feci perfectly well in every rcspect -- being now abio 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, AYEH'S SAOSAPAKILLA. Glover, VL, Oct. 21,1S82. Yours gratefully, UIIIAAI PHILLIP*." ATER'S SARSAPARILLA enres Scrotals and alt Seroftalons Complaints, Erysip­ elas, Eczema, Ringworm, Blotches, Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions of the Skin. It clears the blood of all impu­ rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of the bowels, and thus restores vitality and strengthens the whole system. PREPARED BT Dp. J. C. Ayer &.
