A Grand Old Lady GtVM II? r Fxpc ricnee. Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives Io the beautiful village of Brighton, Livingston Co.. Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born in the year 1812, tiio year of the great war, in Hebron. Washington Co., New York. She came to Michigan in Isjo. the year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." AU her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re? tentive memory, her mind is full of Interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re? markable people she has met. and the stirring events of which she was a wit? ness. But nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are more mar? velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences iL the use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mis. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre? disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive bloud taint which has cursed and is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vic? tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation. It Is found in 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 it 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 and limbs would break out in a mass of sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck bejran 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. I had tried every remedy that had been recom? mended, and doctor after doctor bad 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. .To'unston. of Detroit, and his famous Sarsaparilla. 1 tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any? thing else, as I had no faith in it. and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking it. I took a great many bottles. But I steadily Improved until I became entirely well. AU the sores healed up. all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health, and I nave never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady of 83 years ia not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health since then, and I firmly believe that JOTTVSTOX'S SARSAPARILLA is tho greatest blood purifier and the best medicine In the 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 times, "I believe iny life was saved by JOHNSTON S SARSAPARILLA."
