I'd page of this paper appears the at
tractive ad. of Messrs. Rosenbush & Co.,

most elaborate scale and the system upon
which they propose to conduct this new

MOUNT JOY, Pa, July %, 1884.
Dear Sir For the benefit of the af-
fiicted desire to relate my case. All this
spring and summer | suffered from a
painful and exceedingly annoying skin
disease, breaking out in watery eruptions
around my neck and on other parts of
my body, and itching almost to intoler-
ance when perspired. Neither could
rest at night. When the circulars of
your : ARoMANNA" were sent around
at once bought bottle and commenced
using it. And now, using about three
bottles, am entirely cured of my annoy
ing disease, and l feel healthier and
stronger than for several years past.

ments to purchasers. Our assortment of
business suits is ahead of anything we
have before shown in this important
line. We have large variety of styles.
and at prices that will suit every purse.
We do not need to impress upon any bust
ness man who reads this line, the impor.
lance of proper appearance for the
successful transaction of business, this
necessity is pretty well recognized in
this country, where man is very large
ly judged by the cut and quality of the
clothing which he wears. From youth
to old age, in this stirring community
the adage wears wells, that
:" To be we'll dressed
Will oftimes supercede the rest
So plain is this truth that we feel that
we are only wasting time by further ref
erence to it. Our point thus is, that the
wise man will always seek that empor-
ium where the largest assortment, the
most sterling qualities and the most
reasonable prices prevail. Carrying, as
we find our increasing trade demands, a
larger assortment of suits for business
and everyday wear than in any line, we
confidentially offer you advantage in Sc
lection, first and foremost, which can
not be found elsewhere. The prices we
will leave to take care of themselves.
If you want goods, honest goods, we'll
show you bargains as they should be do
not forget that we claim to have them,
and we only ask you to call to convince
you that these are facts. Bazaar Cloth

MERRILLS WASHING COMPOUND, 81 &
% NORTH CLARKE ST., CHICAGO, ILL.
The above named article is now being intro
duced throughout the United States, and the
success attending its introduction is doubtless
mainly due to the method we have adopted in
bringing our goods before the public.
TESTIMONIALS
We, the undersigned, have used MERRILLs
WASHING COMPOUND. 1T came to us highly
recommended (as most articles introduced in
like manner do) by being extensively written
up and and advertised in circulars, which was
the only evidence we had of its merits, but
having tested the article and having used it
strictly according to directions, we do hereby
most cheertully recommend it to all house,
keepers. By following the directions we be.
lieve thai at least one-half the labor may be
saved, that the expense of fuel may be reduc-
ed Observation-Disclosures hree-ffths of the usual
rubbing of clothes may be avoided, and that
days wash may be more easily accomplished
by proper use of this propagation than with
the assistance of a washer-woman. We recon-
mend every lady to give the article practic
test, and we feel assured that none will regret
having done so.
