A Life Saved Sixteen Months of Awful Suffering Impure blood is always dangerous. Just as soon as you begin to feel weak and languid, nervous and depressed, you are in danger. Make your blood pure and your nerves strong at once. Mr. Thomas H. Cashel, of Dripstone, New South Wales, Australia, sends us this letter, with his photographs/ •• I wna suddenly taken very 111 and for three weeks was delirious nearly all tho time, and my life was despaired of. Tlie doctors said it v&8 "blood poisoning. For many long weeks I Buffered the most frightful agony; the poison ing all settled in ono limb. I then went to Sydney Hospital, where dead pieces of toon© ■were taken from my leg. But I grew weaker and weaker, until I could hardly raise my bund. I then left the hospital, believing I must surely die. Then my people fcought me » bottle of AVER'S jSarsaparilla It did mojjoocl at once.
