Each continuous positive linear form on a commutative locally m-convex *-algebra E with a bounded approximate identity, accepts an integral representation on the hermitian spectrum (hermitian characters) of E. An alternative form of the latter is also obtained. The presented results constitute an abstract form of the Bochner-Weil-Raikov theorem within the frame of topological *-algebras.
