Our I's are just as strong as they were fifty years ago, when we have cause to use them. But we have less, and less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the praising, and we are more than willing for you to see us through other eyes. This is how we look to S. F. Boyce, whole sale and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn., who after a quarter of a century of observation writes: ' " I have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla for more than 25 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard any thing but words of praise from my customers ; not a single complaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sar caparilh t3 be the best blood purifier that has been intro c'i:cec! to the general public." This, from a man who has edd thwcaiuls cf dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, is strong t .s'imony. Hut it only echoes popular sentiment the world over, which has " Nothing but words of praise for Ayer's Sarsaparilla." A iy dnutrt about It?
