A«YOUNG LADY'S STORY. Her Blood was Out of Order and She was ait Run Down. Read what Ayer's Sarsaparilla Did for Her. ! No one to look to-day at Misa Sophie Kiefer, a pretty and stylish young bell*, whose portrait is given above, and who lives at the northwest corner of Fourth and Oueen streets, Philadelphia, would imagine that she had ever been in anything but the pink of health. Her skin is clear and creamy, her teeth are white and even, sha hm luxuriant dark hair, and her eyes are large and bright, of a lustrous brown. Yet, notwithstanding Misa Kiefer' s splendid appearance, only a year ago she was in extremely poor health, and her blood was in a very bad condition. Miss Kiefer's story is best told in her own words: "When I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla I was not only run down, but I was thoroughly discouraged. Doctors and proprietary medicines both failed to help me. My blood waa disordered. But the first bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla helped me so much that I decided to keep it up, and did so. Then, inside of a month, I began to think that the Sarsaparilla was a wonder. It cleared my skin completely and restored . my. appetite to its former condition. My general health was recovered and the third bottle removed every appearance of disorder from my blood. Not only that, but it left me better than ever. For several months I had been ill and complaining. My health ia general, aside from the condition of my blood, was very poor. I remember one day, after attending a ball the night before, when I felt so miserable that I was afraid Iwas going to tie, almost. My appearance, of which I always took considera ble mre, was the thing that worried me most of all, I will acknowledge. But as I S tTu/Ayer's Sarsaparilla rejuvenated me. I would take it any time in preference to toilet preparations and skin soaps and washes, for it worked wonders with me. I SnSeconSS Ayer's Sarsaparilla to anyone whose blood is poor or whose general health is üßStt'-iifactory." Ayer's Sarsaparilla/ The Only True Blood-Purifier.!
