Irritating and Disfiguring ERUPTIONS On the Face, Cured by Ayer's Sarsaparilla Bemarkable Experience of Miss Borcthy Maher, Fitzroy, Victoria, whose portrait we are privileged to give below: "I take pleasure in testifying to the great benefit I derived from Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I . suffered from eruptions on my face of a very irritating and vexatious nature. For a considerable time I expert mented with various so-called blood medicines, but without any alleviation of my trouble. At last, your famous Sarsaparilla being strongly recommended to me, I began to use it, and after taking two bottles it was uiczs jratifying to see and feel the effect in allaying the irritation and reducing the eruptions.. When I had used three bottles the eruptions disappeared altogether, without leaving a mark on my face, and I have never been troubled with anything of the kind since."
