AVER'S SARSAPARILLA — ~~ — CURES —~~ Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Loss of Strength and Appetite, and Nervous Disorders. The following letter from Mrs. S, Gash, of Kent Town, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above, is additional testimony to the remarkable health-giving power of Ayer's Sarsapariila: "For two years or more I suffered, considerably from indigestion, sleeplessness, and loss of strength and appetite. When I did sleep I was not refreshed, and I always had a severe headache in the morning. 1 was induced to try Ayer's Sarsapariila and was more than pleased at the result for after taking, three bottles my complaints disappeared, and I have been in the best ©f health ever since. I can strongly recommend Ayer's Sarsapariila to any one afflicted as I was." The wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsapariila in purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of other preparations called Sarsapariila. Remember that imitation is the sincer est form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA which has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's great expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and till civilized countries, for more than a generation. No other medicine operates so effectually in removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp toms of the grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.
