The courtship period for
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
passed long since , when it won the con
fidence and esteem of thoughtful men and
women 50 years ago.
You need have no doubts , if , when you
go to buy Sarsaparilla , you simply say the
old name
That is the kind that cured your fathers
and their fathers before them , and it is
the kind that will cure you. Other
Sarsaparillas may look like it , may even
taste like it , but somehow or other they
haven't the knack of curing people that
Ayer's has. Just try one bottle of Ayer's
today.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy ,
SyniT OF FIGS , manufactured by the
CALIFOHNIA Fie Syiiur Co. , illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive , cleansing the system effectually ,
dispelling colds , headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance , and its acting on the kidneys ,
liver and bowels , without weakening
or irritating them , make it the ideal
laxative. ,
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used , as they arc pleasant to the
taste , but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants , by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA Fie SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations , please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Some time later a mutual friend in

action , and the celebrated author sent
Mr. Underwood his photogiuph with
the following lines on the Imok :

To these Mrs. Plnkham's help is

Miss NANCIK SHOIIR , Florence ,

"I had been in poor health for nome time , my troubles hav
ing been brought on by standing , so my physician said , caus
ing serious womb trouble. I had to give up my work. I was
just a bundle of nerves and would have fainting spells at
monthly periods. I doctored and took various medicines , but
got no relief , and when I wrote to you
I could not walk more than four blocks
at a time. I followed your advice , tak
ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier

from the first. I am getting to be a
stranger to pain and I owe it nil to your
medicine. There ij none equal to it ,
for I have tried many others'be
fore using yours. Words cannot
I be said too strong in praise of it. "
Miss POLLY FKAME , Mcado ,

"DEAR MllS. PlNKIIAM I feel it
I my duty to write you in regard to
your medicine has done for
me. I cannot praise it
enough. Since my girlhood
I had been troubled with ir
regular and painful
i periods and for nearly
ifive years had suffered
Svitu falling of the
womb , and whites. Also
had ovarian-trouble , the
left ovary being so swollen and sore , that I could not move
without pain. Now , thanks to your wonderful medicine , that
tired feeling is nil gone , and I am healthy and strong. "
