HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL GHILDiEi Were Rescued from Disease, and Restored to Health and Happiness by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Throughout the world Ayer's Sarsapariila is noted as a blood purifier and a tonic and invigorator. Testimonials to its worth are to be numbered by the thousands, and come from all the four quarters of the globe. One of the latest is from Miss Mary Maguire, a well-known Philadelphia business woman, who has two nephews, both aged five years, Elliott Maguire and Walter Hester. Out of gratitude for the cure of their diseases by Ayer's Sarsaparilla she sends us their portraits, which we reproduce above, and writes : " I can safely say that Ayer's Sarsaparilla has saved those children much agony and hArJmni their lives. Since they were born, not one dollar in doctor's fees has hean spent upon them/and the only medicine they have taken has been the Sarsaparilla. They first began on it two years and a half ago. They hadn't been strong, but were never exactly sick till then. itPwaa early in the spring and both children, who are cousins of almost the same age, fell ill at the same time. Elliott's trouble was chiefly in his stomach at first. He had violent mdi srestion and at such an early age that was something alarming. Then eczema made its appearance. These unhealthy conditions were largely hereditary. The little boy's skin lierain to blotch up and eruptions made their appearance. With Walter it was different. His arms and the upper part of his legs were badly swollen and the veins seemed to stand out like purple cords. He also had stomach trouble, which was inherited, and it is pretty hard to get medicine to cure inherited diseases. However, I had seen Ayer's Sarsaparilla advertised to cure -.uch cases and I got a bottle of it and gave it to both boys. The first bottle produced n really remarkable change. It was wonderful. Then I began a regular Ayer's Sarsaparilla treiriient I gave the medicine to them three times a day. The blood troubles disappeared and tlio'r skin cleared up splendidly. Then their stomachs got into condition again. Since tl»at Mm* I have given it to them regularly every spring. They have got so used to taking it in Hut Hwon that when I miss a dose they say: < Auntie, you forgot our Ayer's.' They have never had uny other medicine whatever, and that alone has cured them and made them well, strong and hardy. I consider the Sarsaparilla a wonderful medicine." Ay6r's Sarsaparill^ Makes BicEi, Bed Blood, and Invigorates the Entire System.
