The Ins and Outs df It.
If you get best wear out of a eoat, best work
have gone ipto it. You oaa’t get good' bread out of
poor flour. 1
Moral; You can’t get the beet out of anything, unlpss
the best is in it; and jhe beat has to be put in before it
can be taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those
sarsaparillas with a big “beat” -ea the bottle. "Tell us
what’s put in ydu afid we’U decide fo’r ourselves,about
the best.” That’s fair. But these modest sarsaparillas
say: “Ohl we can’t telL It’s a secret. Have faith in-
r : fife labek” . . . Stop I There’s one exception; ofie sar-
saparilla that has no"secret to hide. It’s Ayer’s. H you
want to know what goes into Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, ask 1
your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can
satisfy yourself that you get the best of the sarsaparilla
asgument when you get Ayfcr’s.
