crates finely upon the bowels, with
out the use of other medicine. It's
action is prompt and its cures are
permanent, and chronic cases that

A Handsome Income For An En-
ergetio Lady or Gentleman.

The Ohio Scale Works of Cincin-
natl have just completed and are
now introducing to the public n
handsomely finished Family Scale,
an article that has always been
needed in every household, and in
a communication addressed to the
publisher of this paper the proprle.
tors ask us to refer them to some
reliable party, to introduce it for
them to the people of this County.
1t is very seldom that a new article
steps SO suddenly INTO universal
favor. Housekecpcrs are loud in
its praise, it is always ready, there
are no weights to get lost, or to be
hunted up, is reliable, and will not
get out Of order. The description
Of them is n spiral spring so scien-
tiicaIly adjusted as TO weigh any
thing up to twelve pounds with
perfect accuracy, on top OF the col
umn is the platform on which the
articles to be weighed are placed,
and they have an adjustable indi.
Gator so that you can take the tare
of any vessel you may use in weigh
ing, giving you the exact net
weight. Housekeepcrs at once see
their value in weighing fruits, sug-
ars and other ingredients used in
preserving, cooking, etc, or IN test
ing the weights OF purchases from
others,
The Scales are made of all Brass,
are highly polished and are finish
cd in a skiltul manner. They are
very attractive and take the eye OF
every one who secs them.
1t seems 10 us that nearly every
family in this country will want one,
and is certainly Il rare opportunity

to pick mp quite nice little income

A Dead Woman Bottled.

Cremation, or the method OF
burning our bodies after death,
created some little stir in tins coun-
try, but met with very little favor.
To place our child, our mother or
fathcr into a hot oven, after death,
and to stand and gaze at its rapid
crisping, burning and conversion
into few ounces Of ashes, is, in our
estimation, cruel and sinful. Now,
ladies', you who are suffering from
some female complaint, who have
become irregular, Or have pains and
aches, Mysteries, nervousness and
general prostration, we advise you
to use English Female Bitters at
once, and claim a new lease upon
your lives. 1t is II wonderful female
regulator, and also quick and
powerful tonic, curing chronic cases
IN an incredibly short time.
