Sarsaparilla Sense. Any sarsaparilla is sarsaparilla. True. So any tea is tea. So any flour is flour. But grades ' differ. You want the best. It’s so with sarsaparilla. There are < grades. You want the best. If you understood sarsaparilla as 1 well as you do tea and flour it would be easy to determine. But you don’t. How should you? When you are going to buy a commodity whose value you don’t know, you pick out an old established house to trade with, and trust their experience and reputation. Do so when buying sarsaparilla. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has been on the market 50 years. Your grandfather used Ayer’s. It is 1 a reputable medicine. There are many Sarsaparillas bat only one Ayer's. It cures.
