it just at present, than the corn, as
other supplies are needed for which
it has no funds to purchase.

Why Was It
that Ayer's Sarsaparilla, out of the great
number of similar preparations manufac
tured throughout the world, was the only
medicine of the kind admitted at the
World's Fair, Chicago? And why was it
that, In spite of the united efforts of tho
manufacturers of other preparations, the
decision of the World's Fair Directors was
not reversed?
BECAUSE
According to Bulb 15 "Articles
that are in any way dangerous or
offensive, also patent medicines,
nostrums, and empirical prepara
tions, whose ingredients are con
cealed, will not be admitted to the
Exposition," and, therefore
Because Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a
patent medicine, not a nostrum, and not
a secret preparation.
Because its proprietors had nothing to
conceal when questioned as to the for
mula Irom which it is compounded.
Became it is all that it is claimed to he
a Compound Concentrated Extract of
Sarsaparilla, and In every sense, worthy

committee, called together for passing
upon the manufactured products of tho
