oven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases:
~King's Evil or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Eruptions, Pimples,
Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits on the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion,
Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female
Weaknesses~, and, indeed, the whole series of complaints that arise from
impurities of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found
in AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned the directions for

system or burst out on any part of it.

We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of
_Sarsaparilla_ that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither
be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by
abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing
