I havo used Ayor's Sarsaparilla, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully it will thoroughly cradlcato this terriblo disease W.F.Fowlcr.M.D., Greenville, Tcnn. For forty years I liavo suffered with Erysipelas. I havo tried various remedies for my complaint, but found no relief until I commenced UBing Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After taking tun bot tles of this mediclno I am completely cured. 31. 0. Amcsbury, Itockport, Me. I havo suffered, for yoars, from Catarrh, which was so sovero that it destroyed my appetito and weak ened my system.

Cook, J09 Albany St., Boston, 3Iass. ;- - Ayer's Sarsaparilla is superior to any blood purlller that I over tried.

Written for the Scout.) lWKAlMIUASi: ON WINTGII, As published iii Tin: Onnoov Scout, Jan. JOth. l.m Xow's the time when chilly feelings, Creep along my spinal bone, Vhife the seine of their revealings, Makes mo wish that thev were gone. Things are faded, wilted, withered, That made Summer' grandest scene, And our part of earth is covered With the frigid King and Queen. Bud and flower, brooklet, river, Lay entombed, hut not for aye, For old Sal will yet uncover All these beauties tlrstof May; But throughout the long eolil winter Ciorgeous beauties never wane. Frost-king Is a wond'rous painter, On tho snow-drifts and the pane. Twinkling Ktars shed down their lustre, Silver llake.s'-f "poon-beams shine, While the rfff "'fn heaps all cluster, Makiug inusVjh. divine. Bells that ton, sad groiipes that gather, Tells tho story of tho noul, While our out-door zero weather Tells us, "keep within your hole." Ah, can Sun grow out more neatly, Than the frost-king, In his way? Bearing snow-drifts that completely Cuts our mail off day by day"? Aye, the universal gladness. When this garb of purest white, Breathe'! its last in liquid sadness, Adding joy and trpe delight. Fragrant spring! Oh, do come quickly, For we're weary of the snow, And the MVufrr ltet' sickly, Penning rhymes of glint and glow. Summer far removed thou secmeat, From old winter' chatmimj ice, Yet we of thy beauty dreauiest, Then come quickly what's thy price? Bright and white the tears of Heaven, Drop In Hakes, on young and old. Dark they seem, as ulumc of raven, I In these days of hitter cold. Hope (not fame) we fondly cherish, That warm weather soon may come, And that snow and ice may prrish, Winter l'orU too, keep inuin. W ill, II. Mi.n.nick. Oskaloosa, Iowa. Local Lines.
