The Same.,
Old Sarsaparilla.
That's Ayer's. The same old
jarsaparilla as it was made and
sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer SO year
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record SO years
of cures. Why dont we better
it? Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry : " Doubtless, " he
said, " God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did." Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla?
We can't. We are using the
tame old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. It
has not been bettered. And
since tre make sarsaparilla com
pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
ve see no way of improvement.
Of course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might .... But we're not.
We're making the same old sar
saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
tame old sarsaparilla be
cause it works the same old
eures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and its Ayers.

To Keep off the Grip.
Some people imagine there's no use
tn,iriff to keeD off grip, but the only
people who are peculiarly liable to grip
are those whose- systems are run down,
if vnn have built up your system lor
the winter, all you will need is to take
nrorjer care of yourself; but if your
utA is thin or impure the thing
do is to take several bottles of David's
SflrsanariUa. The great blood purifier
and strength builder. ' -
