AYERS


pulmonary diseases, atfording prompt relief
and rapid cures and Is adapted to patients OF
any age or either sex. Being very palatable,
the youngest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Group, and Ca
tarrh, the effects of AYERS CHERRY PFC
roRAL are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by its
timely and faithful use. 1t should be kept
at hand in every household for the pro-
lection it affords in sudden attacks. In
Whooping cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy so eticacious,
soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are Inducements TO try some OF
the many mixtures, orsyrups, made of cheap
and ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which. as they contain no curative qualities,
can afford only temporary relief, and are
sure to deceive and disappoint the patient.
Diseases OF the throat and lungs demand
active and effective treatment; and it is dam
gerous experimenting with unknown and
cheap medicines, from the great liability that
, these diseases may, while so trifled with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYERS CHERRY PECToRAL, and you may
confidently expect the best results. 1t is a
standard medical preparation, of known and
acknowledged curative power, and is as
cheap as its careful preparation and fine
ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians,
knowing its composition, prescribe it in their
practice. The test of half century has
proven its absolute certainty to cure all pull
monary complaints not already beyond the
reach Of human aid.

RISING.
There was heavy rain yesterday after
noon and last night. It commenced falling
in earnest about O'Clock. and for hours
came down in sufficient volume to entitIe IL
TO some consideration as a modern deluge.
The streets were washed quite clean, and
they needed 1t, for Insignificant rains which
fell previously had made them muddy and
sticky. Main and Franklin streets In the
neighbOrhood OF the First market were
completely flooded, and much damage was
done by the overtlowing OF cellars in that
vicinity. The kilograms below indicate that
the rainfall (amounting TO about an inch
and half in RichmonD was general in

has obtained a divorce from his wife, who
ran of with the Earl of Shrewsbury some
time ago. lie is the head OF the house OF
Talbot, one Of the most ancient and famous
among the English nobility, and has Just
come Of age. Mrs. Munday is some years
older than her partner in crime, and has
been the mother OF two or three children.
Some years ago she was classed among the
beauties of the London season. Her elope-
ment with a youth so much her junior
caused a sensation In London society, and
there were various stories about the con-
duct Of the husband when he heard OF it.
He pursued the couple. and some sort OF IN
aiTray ensued. Since then Ms. Munday
has returned to England, and ii was gene
rally understood that Lord Shrewsbury
would marry her when she was free.
Hence the divorce suit was not opposed.
