using the Improved Butter Color made by Wells, Richard¬ 
son & Co., Burlington, Vt, It is the only color that can be 
relied on to never injure the butter, aud to always give the 
perfect color. Sold by druggists^ and merchants.

Packages of James Pyle’s Celebrated Pearline 
Washing Compound disposed of to the con¬ 
suming public during the past year, bear 
stronger testimony as to its acceptability 
than can be presented in any other way. 
Such universal approval as has attended the 
sale of this article has seldom been witnessed, 
simply because of its utility in domestic 
economy. 
Scarcely a lady in the land, rich or poor, 
married or single, housekeeping or boarding, 
would evet be without it after having tested 
it for themselves and becoming acquainted 
with its pecuUar convenience for all cleans¬ 
ing purposes. 
AU first-class grocers have it for sale—but 
beware of counterfeits.
