There is nothing more interesting
to the present generation, than the
dress our parents used to wear and
the articles they used. It reminds
us of "ye olden times," and brings!
up many tender memories of "Lang S
Syne." No department of our Fair!
will excite more interest than this
one. The display should be large
and varied. Realizing that the arti
cles in this class are cherished
memories, they will be in charge of
trusty custodians, night and day, for
their safety. As far as possible, give
a short and plain written history of
the article, written on card board,
and attached to the article by a piece
of ribbon.

Diseases of die Tiroat anil Ms.
AYERfc
In diaeues of tha
pulmonary orpans
a safo and reliable
remedy is inval
uable. At bb's
Cheery Pectobai,
is nch a remedy.
It is a acientiflo
combination of the
medicinal princi-
CHERRY
ea and curative
virtues of the finest
drug, chemically
united, ot aui:n
power as to insur
the protest posxi
ble efficiency, and
uniformity of re
sults. It strikes at
PECTOR
the foundation of all pulmonary diseases,
ulTordins prompt relii
lief and rapid cures.
and is adapted
sd to patients of any age or
either sex. Bviug very palatable, tue
votingest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Itronchitis, Inflaenta, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Astlima, (.roup, ami
Catarrh, tho effects of Arm's Chfkky
1'itCTORAi. are magical, and multitudes
are annually preserved from serious ill
ness by its "timely and faithful use. It
should lie kept at hand in every house
hold for the protection it affords in sud
den attacks. In WhooplnB-couxh and
Consumption there is no other remedy
k etlicacioiis, soothing, and helpful.
Low prices aro inducements to try
some of the many mixtures or syrups,
made of cheap and ineffective inredi
nts, now offered, which, as they con
tain no cnrative iialitiesf can afford
only temporary relief, and are sure to
disupM)int the patient. Diseases of the
throat and lungs demand active and
effectivo treatment; and it is dangerous
exeriimnting with unknown and cheap
medicines, from the great liability that
these disease may. while so trifled with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
Aykr's Chkukt Ixtokai., and you
may confidently expect the iiest results.
It is of acknowledged eirrntiv power,
ami is as cheap as !Tf carciul preparation
and tine ingredients will allow. Emi
nent physicians, knowing its composi
tion, prescrilw it. The test of half a
century has proven its certainty to cure
all pulmonary complaints not already
beyond the reach of human aitl.
