A Grand Old L;!?iy Give? Her Experience? Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton, Livingston Co.. Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born ia the year 1S12, the year ot* the great war, in Hebrun. Washington Co., New York. She- came to Michigan in LSiO. the year or' "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." All her faculties are excellently JUTS;-rvet'., .-md possessing a very re? tentive memory, her mind is fun ot interesting reminiscences of her early life, of t!ie early days ol' the Stan* of Michigan and the interesting and re? markable people she has nie:, and the stirring events of which she was a wit? ness. Km nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are more mar? velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre? disposition to scrofula, that terribly desiructive blood taint which has cursed and is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vic? tims cf the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, lt is found iu neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap? pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings in the neck or goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, it may be known as catarrh In the head, or developing in the lungs lt may be, and often is. the prime cause or consumption. Speaking of her case. Mrs. Hurd says: "I was troubled for many years with a bad skin disease. My arms an(i limbs would break out in a mass of sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very unsightly in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions My eyes were also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood was in a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also in my ears. I was in a miserable condition. ? liad tried every remedy that had been recom? mended, and doctor after doctor had failed. 'One of the best physicians in the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abcesses were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and his famous Sarsaparilla. ? tried a hoirie, more as an experiment than any? thing else, as I had no faitii in ir. and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began io grow better. Yon can bo sure I kept on taking it. I took a great many bottles, lint I steadily improved until I became entirely well. All the sores healed up. all tho bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health, and ? have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady of S3 years is not a young woman, bur l have had remarkably crood health since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA is the greatest blood purifier and tho best medicine in tlie wide world, both for scrofula and as a spring medicine."' This remarkably interesting old lady did not lok to be more than sixtv. and she repeated several limes. "I believe my, life was saved by JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA."
