AN INVALID FOR FIVE YEARS. Pale, Emaciated, No Appetite, COULD NOT WORK. Xl Ayer's Sarsaparilla Cured Him. ■ Edward Graham, Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria; writes ' • ■ . Gratefully of His Cure. "In 1890 I had a severe attack of typhoid fever, and for nearly five years after the fever left me was a confirmed invalid. I had no appetite; became pale and emaciated, and was unable to work. I tried various remedies but found no relief until I began taking AVER'S SARSAPA- RILLA. This medicine greatly improved my appetite, restored my liver and stomach to a healthy condition, and now my food aigests perfectly and lam better than ever I was mmy life. For this I am deeply grate- ful, and take pleasure m making known to others the value of your. Sar- Baparilla." ' ° The wonderful success of the great blood purifies Ayer's Sarsaparilla has led to numerous imitations. The name— Ayer's Sarsaparilla— is prominent on the wrapper and is blown m the glass of each bottle.
