Ms. Pimples. Sure Signs of Impure Blood. Do not think that washes and ointments can cure eruptions of the skin. They cannot. The cause is deeper, even down in the very blood itself. Purify your blood, and your skin will be smooth and clear. Mr. James Johnson, of South Forbes, New South Wales, sends us his photograph, and says : ■vOW*. •• My whole body was almost covered with boils. Reading about AYER’S Sarsaparilla I thought I would try it. I took one bottle, and was entirely free from any eruption whatever. My eyesight was greatly strengthened also.” Mr. Johnson’s eyesight was strengthened because the Sarsaparilla is such a wonderful nerve tonic. For impure blood and weak nerves there is no remedy in the world equal to it. You cannot enjoy good health if your bowels are constipated. Ayer’s Pills cure constipation every time. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Maas., U.S.A.
