It is ofteii'a mystery how a. cold
has been "caught." The fact is;
that when the blood "is poor and
the system depressed, one. becomes
peculiarly liable to disease. - When
the appetite or the strength fails,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla should be tak
en without delay. ,
A Suffers? Cured
"Every season, from the time J
was two years old, I suffered dread
fully from erysipelas, r which kept
growing worse until my hands were
almost useless. The bones softened
so that they would bend, and several
of my lingers are now crooked from
fX. this cause. On my

Eight' bottles -of
Aj-er's Sarsaparilla cured me,' so
that I have had no return of the
disease for more than twenty years.
The first bottle seemed to reach tho
spot and a persistent use of it has
perfected tho ture." 0. C. IUVI3,
