AT the foundation OF all

any age or either sex. Being very palatablc,
the youngest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,

Sore Throat, Asthma, Group, and Ca.
tarrh, the effects of Ayers CHERRY Pee
Tol:AL are magical. and multitules are an
nHally 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 III
Niooping- cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy 50 efficacious,
soothng. and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try some OF
the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap
aud ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which. as they contain no curative qualities,
can afford only temporary relief, and are
sure to deceive and disappont 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 trf1ed with,
hecomc deeply seated or incurablc. Use
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, and you may
confidently expect the best results It 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 it's composition, prescribe it in their
practice. The test of half 4 century has
proven its absolute certainty to cure all pull
mGnary complaints not already beyond the
reach of human aid.

IIth Annual Greeting.

We present to our many friends and
customers our thanks for their liberal
patronage during the past year, and
hope to merit continuance of the
same in the coming year. The year
about to close has been the most pros
porous one we have ever had, which
assures us conclusively that when hon
est business principals rigidly adheared
to between the buyer and seller, sue
cess AM profit will always follow. Our
policy has been, first, good goods
second, one price. When we first came
to Martins burg it was with difficulty
we could sell any goods except those
of a low grade, low priced, trashy,
and sounded cheap to the mind OF the
customer We are happy to say the
people are now getting their eyes open
to the fact that low priced goods ara
not always cheap goods, and that now
when they buy something that is really
good it is Joy forever We have not
attained as yet the full mark of success,
and it is our purpose not to rest salts
fed until Martinsb burg can sell as fine,
if not the finest line OF goods that can
be purchased in the rich valley Of the
Shenandoah Eleven years of trial
has been sufficient to convince us that
the one price system of selling goods
is the only system that will stand the
fierce trial of the ebb and flow of the
business current. The reprehensible
habit of selling goods t. that person
who will stand at your counter and
Jew" you cheaper, when modest
lady would shrink abashed at the very
thought of you asking her more than
you could sell the same goods for, will
find man out, and sooner or later will
become the rock upon which he is to
be broken. Hoping that you will give
US trial the coming year and wishing
you Happy Now Year, we are very
respectfully, EMMERT 81 FIERY.
