And ’twas Ayer’s name And his sarsaparilla, that all now, know. That was just beginning its fight of fame With its cures of 50 years age. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the original sarsaparilla. It has behind it a record for cures unequalled by any blood purifying compound It is the only sarsaparilla honored by a medal at the World’s Fair of 1893. Others imitate the remedy; they can’t imitate the record : 50 Years of Curea-
