Gives New Life Strengthens the Nerves. ■\VTion tlie blood is impuro tlio whole nervous system becomes poisoned. It is impossible to throw off that terrible depression; and there is no ambition to work. But there is a -way whereby you may again be strong and vigorous. Mr. Charles Richardson, of 37 Ho wick 'Street, Launceston, Tasmania, sends us bis photograph and the following letter:
"One© my arms were covered with gores that were worse than boils. They were di-ep-looted in the flesh and caused great suffering. My blood was in an awful condition. At auother time I bad a severe attack of influenza. 1 could neither eat, sleep, nor work, and I never expected to recover. AYER'S Sarsaparilla cored me from both of thews violent attacks. The first time it took all impurities out of mv system; and the last time it built me up and Sve me new life. Now I am strong, work rd, and *leep well." Ayer's Pills are a safe and sure cure for all liver troubles. They are purely vegetable. Prquiwl by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Uwell, Mass., U. S. A.
