William C. Herbert, IT. S. EVTakes Ayer's Sarsaparilla with Him Everywhere. Disordered Blood ancl Bad Stomach Cured Positively and Permanently. That is what Ayer's Sarsaparilla did for Past Assistant Engineer Wm. C. Herbert, whose portrait is _ere givea, Mr. Herbert has been an officer in the U. S. naval service for the past 10 years. His duties have taken him all over the world, and he has been on a constant go for several years, through the Dardanelles, around the famous rock of Gibraltar, in tho Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, about the South Sea Islan' , in Hawaii, Tound Capo Horn, to South America, Africa— everywhere, almost, u_..v.r the sun he has cruised as a navy officer. •- On his return from one of his voyages the strain told on him. His blood was in a very bad condition, and his stomach was weakened, and, as he says, he was " knocked out." Mr. Herbert says ; "Although I look very hearty now, four years ago my health and physical condition were anything but good. Then ifc was that I found tho constant knocking about had at last told on me. My blood was very poor and my stomach as bad. I had been cruising about in the service for a long time without any rest and without ceasing from my duties. Frequent" changes in water ancl climate, such as I experienced, will weaken and debilitate the strongest of us, and I was no exception. In fact, I was completely run down, and when I came home my family insisted on calling in the doctor. He prescribed for me and did all he could, but nothing came o£ it, and I grew worse. As ray blood seemed chiefly the cause of the trouble I thought I would give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a trial, seeing it^ advertised to cure such cases. I took a bottle in an aimless sort of a fashion, but when I found it helped my stomach and was commencing to clear my blood, too, I thought there might be somo real merit in it, and accordingly began on a second bottle. Well, to make a long story short, the third completely cured me and restored me to my old-time health. My blood was better than ever, and my stomach did not bother me in the least. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me. Now I take it whenever I feel that my system needs it," and I do not consider myself equipped for a cruise anywhere without a bottlo of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It has, I assure you, my hearty indorsement and recommendation." _?__© Only True B-Opd-Fu__f_ei\ ;
