A Remarkable Result.

1t makes no difference how many physi-
cians,or how much medicine you have tried,
it is now an established fact that German
Syrup is the only remedy which has given
complete satisfaction in severe cases OF Lang
Diseases. 1t is true there are yet thousands
of persons who are predisposed to throat and
lung affections, Consumption, IIemorrhages,
Asthma, severe colds settled on the breast,
Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, &c, who
nave no personal knowledge of Boschee's
German Syrup. To such we would say that
$4,000 dozen were sold last year without
one complaint Gonsumptivcs try just one
bottle Regular size 20 cents. Sold by all

SOMETHING NEW-A RARE OPPOR-
TUNITY.

We have lately had brought to our notice
new kitchen utensil, the real merit Of
which entities it to something more than
the passing notice we can give 10 it. We
allude to the PEERLESS FLOUR AND
MEAL SITTER, manufactured by the
Peerless Sitter Company, OF Cincinnati. A
Combination Sitter, Weigher, Measure, Mix
er, Rice Washer, Flour Scoop, Tomato,
Pumpkin, Fruit, Wine, Jelly and Starch
Strainer. Twelve distinct articles combined
in one, and is sold at price within the
reach of every family To purchase sepa-
rate utensils for all OF of the above than ten
times the amount asked fer the Peerless
Sitter.
Housekeepers will appreciate the Peer
less Sitter for the following reasons: 1t does
away with the putting OF ones hands in the
-four, which in cold weather is very un-
pleasant; can beworked so easily and rap
idly; will sift FIVE times as fast as the COM
mon sieve, and much faster and better than
any other sitter ever introduced. 1t is OPP
perated with simple and easy lever motion
and is acknowledged by every one to be tar
preferable to the awkward and unhandy
rotary motion in siftcrs here tofore sold. 1t
seems to us that it would be no trouble for
an energetic lady or gentlemen in this vim
cinity to sell Peerless Sitter TO go into
every flour barrel in this county-we know
of nothing that would pay them anything
like rs well, and would recommend them to
drop postal card at once to the PEER
LESS SITTER COMPANY, GBoGE Axn

vers every time. 1t cures when quinine
and physicians prescriptions fail to cure.

aud fevers quicker than anything else on
earth, and the cure is complete and perma-
nent. 1t cures liver complaint and bilious
ness. 1t gives health to the poor, pale, sick
sufferer. 1t gives an appetite and Puriiies
the blood. Ii is the finest and best family
medicine in the world. 1t should be in
every family in this town and county, be
cause it saves sickness and gives health.
There is no earthly reason why you should
suffer with chills and fevers, when Cuban
chill tonic, the great West Indies fever and
ague remedy will cure you. Get a bottle
from your druggist, R. NJ. HAMMER, and
try it.
