A MARVELOUS STORY
FROM THE SON: York, Oct, 28, 1882.
‘lemen: My father resides at Glover,
» has been a great sufferer from Scrof- ind the inclosed letter will tell you what & marvoions effect
Aver's Sarsaparilla
had in bis case, I think his blood must have contained the hamor for at least ten C lid not show, exceptin the form 2 on the wrist, until about From «a few spots which ap peared at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover hi e body. I assure you he was terribly afficted, and an object of pity, when ha begin usivg your medicine. Now, there are few men of bis age who enjoy as good heaith as ho his. I conld easily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts in his case. ¥ struiy. W. M. PHILLIPS.”
FROM THE FATHER: [08.05 a duty for me to state to you the benefit I have derived from the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores, The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to fiow in many places whenever I mceved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used it regularly aince that time, My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect — being now able to do a good day’s work, although 73 years of aga. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’S SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21, 1882. Yours gratefully, ‘ HiRaM PHILLIPS.”
