r A«YOUNG LADY'S STORY. Her Blood was Out of Order and She was ail Run Down. Read what Ayer's Sarsaparilla Did for Her, ff £ l^^t^vl^yP^^i^^^^il No one to look to-day at Miss Sophie Kiefer, a pretty and stylish young belle, whose portrait is given above, and who lives at the northwest corner of Fourth and Queen streets, Philadelphia, would imagine that she had ever been m anything but the Pink of health. Her skin is clear and creamy, her teeth are white and even, she has luxuriant dark hair, and her eyes are large and bright, of a lustrous brown. Yet, notwithstanding Miss Kiefer's splendid appearance only a year ago she was m extremely poor health, and her blood was ia a very bad condition. Miss Kiefer'a story is best told m 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. SfbloS was disordered. But the first bottle of Ayer's Sarsapanlla helped me so much that I decided to keep it up, and did so. Then, inside of a month, 1 began to Sink that the Sarsaparilla was a wonder. It cleared my skin completely and restored Sv appetite to its former condition My general health was recovered and the third Settle removed every appearance of disorder from my blood. Not only that, but it SSS/better than ever. For several months I had been ill and complaining. My fill ™?'Aver's SaSaparilla rejuvenated me. I would take it any time m preference health is unsatisfactory." . Ayer's Sarsaparilla, The Only True Blood-Purificir.l
