Pure blood means health, strength, and happiness. Bad blood' means scrofula, pimples, boils, carbuncles, ulcers, tumors, and other dangerous ailments. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cleanses, vitalizes, and enriches, the blood, thus imparting renewed life and energy. It cures disease by removing the cause from the system; it takes away That Tired Feeling,.quickens the. appetite, and restores HEALTH AND STRENGTH to those who have become enervated by climatic or other influences. Out of many thousands of testimonials, we have space here only for the following; Mr. R. Dennis, Adelaide, So. Australia, writes:—"lt is with very much pleasure that I testify to the great beneJit I received from using your wonderful blood-purifier. I was a, sufferer for years from indigestion, loss of strength and appetite, and constipation. My whole system seemed to be thoroughly out of order. A friend finally told me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I followed his advice, though feeling discouraged at the fruitless results of other treatment, and 1 am thankful to state that a few bottles completely cured me." Mr. 1-Oi.kt.t Goodfellow, Mitcham, So. Australia, writes:—"! have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla in my family for years, and would not be without it. I used to sufi'er with boils and skin eruptions, attended with great lassitude and general debility. In fact, 1 was so ill that 1 could not attend, to my business. Being advised to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla 1 did so, and lam happy to say that the medicine restored me to perfect health. I have since used Ayer's Sarsaparilla for my children, in various complaints, and it has always proved effective. I can safely recommend it to sufferers as the best blood-purifier in existence."

RULE'S Hydropathic Sanatorium, ASHBURTON. CAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED 1 rpHIS is a universal complaint. By JL soma it is considered to rest merely in the blood. Others think the cause of Pain, Inflammation, nnd Swelling is owing to the sheatha of the Muscles and Nerves wanting the required serum derived from the blood, which is necessary to lubricate i the sheaths of the muscles and nerves | Rheumatism will never be cured while the tongue is red or furred, showing chronic inflammatory action in the muc us membrane lining of the stomach, liver, and bowels. OUR REMEDY for this Complaint consist-, of Fomenting, Steaming, Sweat ing, Rubbing, Blistering, and Bandag ing in their different forms, and WE NEVER FAIL TO CURE.
