A Sufferer Cured “Every season, from the time I was two years old, I suffered dreadfully fwun erysipelas, which kept growing worse until my hands were almost useless. The bones softened so that they would bend, and several of my flhgers lire now crooked from t his cause. On my hand 1 carry large fg* scars, which, but for AYER ’ S Sarsaparilla, would JMjUAyJk be sores, provided I wKa/W was a '‘ v, ‘ an( i a *^ e to carry anything. Eight hotties of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cured me, so that I have had no return of the disease for more than twenty years. The first bottle seemed to reach the spot and a persistent use of it has perfected the cure.”—o. C. Davis, Wautoma, Wis. AVFR’3 ■ M I w THE ONLY WORLD'S FAIR AYER’S PILLS Promote Good Digestion

The mother had given strict orders to the authorities of the home at the time she gave up the children not to let her husband find out what had become of them.
