A GOOD INCOME FOR SOME ENERGETIC LADY
OR GENTLEMAN. The Ohio Scale Works, of
Cincinnati. have just completed and are now
introducing to the public, under the title OF the
Universal Family Scale, an article that has
always been needed in every household; and
in a communication addressed to the publishers
of this paper, the proprietors ask Us to refer
them to some reliable party who will represent
them in introducing 1t TO the people of this
county 1t is very seldom that new article
steps 80 suddenly into universal favor. House
keepers are loud III Its praise, for 1t possesses
the merit OF being always ready: there are no
weights 20 hunt up and adjust: is always reha-
ble-will not ge. out OF order-and ID an orna
ment TO the kitchen. The description Is simply
a base surmounted by a hollow column, in
which works spiral spring, so scientifically
gagged and adjusted, as to weigh anything up
to twelve pounds with perfect accuracy. On
the top of the column is the platform on which
the articles to be weighed are placed. By the
mere turning OF screw, the tare OF the dish,
plate. or whatever you may use III weighing, is
taken out and the net weight given. House
keepers at once see te value In weighing sugar
or fruit. in making preserves or jellies or IN
testing the butchers or grocers weight, and
the thousand and one cases that occur where
something that should be weighed accurately
is necessary. The scales are handsomely
painted and bronzed, and are sold at about
one-third the price charged for the inferior
scales OF the same Capacity. 1t seems to us
that nearly every family In this country would
want one. and it 10 certainly rare opportunity
for some smart and energetic party TO pick up
quite nice little income during the next few
months. The Company has agents in no more
favorable locations who are making IS to Sc

vicinity who can do as well. We recommend

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely With
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafiled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
