Somerset has great many natural ad-
vantages and also holds out number of
inducements to strangers. We have four
fine churches, as good school building as
any town of its size in the State, and one
of the best conducted schools in the State
A fine hall, one of the best fowring mills
in Ohio, Planning Mill. Woolen Mill, and
number of first-class storse of all kinds.
We have as good society as can be found
any where, and our people in general take
an interest in all who try TO do anything
for themselves. We have q population oi
about sixteen hundred, and it is slowly on
the increase. What we need is a few more
enterprising citizens to make our town one
of the most hourishing villages in the
State.

household remaining. Only two days previous she
was more bouyant and cheerful than was her want

This Sarsaparilla is a acombinationo of
vegetable s--Stillingia, Man
drake Yellow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild rs to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent ply sicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence OF
the superiority of this SarsapaIilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
