: ASTONISHING SuccEss.-It is the
duty Of every person who has used
BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its
wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu.
monia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. Noperson can use it
without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor lying
consumptive, at least totry one bot
tie, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it
failed was reported. Such ii medi-
cindas the GERMAN SYRUP cannotbe
too widely known. Ask your Drug
gist about it. Sample Bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size Is
cents. For sale by Point Pleasant

1t is reported that BoscHEE' GERMAN
SYRUP has, since its introduction in the
United States, reached the immense
sale of &c, 900 dozen per year. Over g.
900 Druggists have ordered this msai-
cine direct from the Factory, at Wood
bury, N. j., and not one has reported a
single failure, but every letter speaks
of its astonishing uccess in curing Sc
we're Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast,
Consumption, or any disease OF the
Throat and Lungs. We advise any per-
son that has any predisposition to weak
Lungs, to go TO their Druggists, Brook
ms s. Son, Eaton, o., or j. II. Bohn,
Camden, O., and get this Medicine, or
inquire about it. Regular size. 75ess.;

New Churches.

There is a need in our city of more
churches to accommodate our citizens.
The Lutherans have no house of their
own to worship in, yet there are quite
a number of cur best and ablest citizens
who belong to that denomination. The
Catholics in the city and neighborhood
are quite numerous, and their little
house on the corner of Franklin and
Main streets barely accommodates their
growing congregation. They are amply
able to erect q commodious and sub
stantial church on the site of the one
they now occupy and own. Improve
ment in that locality is needed, and we
have no doubt our citizens would re-
spond literally to such an enterprise.
The Complexities have no church build
ing here, yet they are one of the Oldest
denominations in the county. They
have a fund of some $4,000 subject to
their use for churth purposes.
That amount, with what they could
raise by subscription, would enable
them to build a handsome church.
1t is hoped that active members OF
these different denominations will go
forw ard this year and build suitable ed
ifices for their congregations. Good
churches are needed in all'towns, and
we are confident many citizens who are
not identified with any church will, up
on general principles, donate literally
in that direction. We might further
say the Dunkards have no church here.
Their christian modesty, industrious
habits and moral principles, would
make a church here a matter of pleasure
to all good citizens. We wish they could
be induced to build II in u town.
Let all encourage the good work in
every direction.
