Without an Equal in the Whole Range of Pharmacy 
“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is without an equal as a blood-purifier 
and Spring medicine, and cannot have praise enough. I have 
watched its effects in chronic cases, where other treatment was 
of no avail, and have been astonished at the results. No other 
blood medicine that I have ever used, and I have tried them 
all, is so thorough in its action, and effects so many permanent 
cures as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”—Dr. II. F. Merrill, Augusta, Me.
