You know all about it. You are a perfect
slave to your work. It's rush through
the day and worry through the night.
There's no time to eat and no
time to sleep. Already you have
nervous dyspepsia , nervous sick
headache , and neuralgia. Your food
distresses you. You suffer from terrible
depression. The outlook is dark and for
bidding. You feel sure there is but one
termination to this
And nervous prostration is something you don't want , that's
certain. Then don't have it. A perfect Sarsaparilla prevents
this distressing and dangerous disease , and it cures it , also.
It keeps you up when especially pressed with work. It cures
dyspepsia , and it builds up exhausted nerve tissue. But it
must be a perfect Sarsaparilla to do this. So far as we can
learn , there isn't but one m the world , and
"The only Sarsaparilla made under the personal supervision of three graduates ! a
graduate in pharmacy , a graduate in chemistry , and a graduate in medicine. "
$1.00 a bottle. All Druggists.
" I first used Aycr's Sarsaparilla in the fall of 1848. I came cut of the Mexican War run down in health and badly used up.
It did much then that I hat taken it medicine. I attribute robust health
me so good e always every spring as a blood-purifying my
at 78 to the use of jour Sarsaparilla e\ery spring. " S. T. JONES , WichitaKans. . , March 29 , 1900.
