“ The Old Reliable.”
It is a fact “ known of all men,” that one house,
if no more, in this city has won the above title. Sharp
jewelers and tricksters come along occasionally with gor
geous displays, but they sometimes play out with as start
ling an effect as their advent was brilliant, while the “Old
Reliable ” continues on the even tenor of its way. Er
Lawshe, the jeweler, is au old established institution of
Atlanta. Everybody knows him, and has confidence in
him, and it is the duty, to say nothing of the interest, of
our people to patronize reliable home folks. Call on him
at his old stand for anything in the line of jewelry, silver
ware, eye-glasses, etc., and we guarantee satisfaction and
honest dealing.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.
I N the whole history of medicine, no preparation has
e
ever performed such marvelousc'res. or maintained so
wide a reputation, as Ayer’s Cheret Pectoral, which is
recognized as the world’s remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lunge. Its long-continued series of wonderful
ciiresinallclimatesha6made.it universally known as a
safe and reliable agent to employ. Against ordinary eokls,
which are the forerunners of more serious disorders, it
acts speedily and surely, always relieving suffering, and
often saving life. The protection it affords, by its timely
use in the throat and lnug disorders of children, makes it
an invaluable remedy to be kept always on hand in every
house. No person can afford to be without it, and those
who have once used it never will. From their knowledge
i of its composition and effect-, Physicians use tiie Chehrt
! Pectoral extensively in their practice, and Clergymen
; recommend it. It is absouUelv certain in its remedial
! effects, and will always cure where cures are possible,
