He will write of many topics, old and new, and in a familiar and personal way, which will form new bonds of friendship between the author and his thousands of readers. In the first paper, entitled "A Chapter on Dreams," appearing in the January number, he relates incidentally, in connection with the general subject, some interesting facts concerning the origin of the now famous story "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. by W. S. CHAPLAIN, will be the first of an especially important and interesting series of papers on railways. The illustrations which will accompany this series will be very elaborate, original, and beautiful. The authors and the titles of the future articles will be announced later.

SARGENT'S papers on Physical Proportions and Physical Training will be continued by several of increasing interest, with as rich and unique illustration as those which have already appeared. ILLUSTRATED ARTICLES of special interest will be those on the Campaign of Waterloo, by JOHN C. ROPES; on "The Man at Arms," by E. H. BLASHFIELD; two papers by EDWARD L. WILSON, ilustrating results of recent Egyptian research; a further article by WILLIAM F. APTHORP, on a subject connected with his recent contribution on Wagner, and many others of equal interest, PROFESSOR SHALER'S articles on the Surface of the Earth will be continued; and articles upon two of the most interesting groups of contemporary European writers will be accompanied by rich and novel portrait illustrations. ELECTRICITY in its various applications as a motive power, EXPLOSIVES, etc., will be the subjects of another group of illustrated articles of equal practical interest, by leading authorities upon these topics.

MENDELSSOHN'S LETTERS written to his friend, Moscheles, at a peculiarly interesting time of his career. will furnish the substance of several articles of great interest to musical readers, which will be illustrated with portraits and drawings from Mendelssohn's own hand.

A VOLUNTARY OPINION

-FROM

AN OLD EMINENT PRACTITIONER

To the Liebig Company:

GENTLEMEN: Allow me to thank you in behalf of my dear wife for the bottle of Coca Beef Tonic with Quinine which you kindly presented to me recently for her. No tonic has even been so beneficial to her....... She has found it exceedingly helpful in restoring her strength during the "Post-Partum " period. She is now using it for the third time, with the same satisfactory results.

I have prescribed your Coca Beef-Tonics for many years, with eminently satisfactory results, and it gives me sincere pleasure to say, furthermore, that I have always found them to be just as represented.

Some time ago I was induced to try the efficacy of a "Coca Wine," supposed to be imported (but which I afterwards discovered is of domestic manufacture). but found it in every way, both as to flavor and effect, inferior to your preparations.

And I also beg to express my appreciation of your courtesy, when recently visiting your establishment to order a supply of your tonics for my wife and some lady patients. Your methods of preparation were shown and explained to me and the evidence given that in the preparation of your Coca Beef Tonics, etc., you use the best of materials only.

Allow me say, further, that I have found LATEXINE invaluable in the treatment of whooping cough Its effect is marvelously prompt and permanent. I have prescribed it in many scores of cases, with hardly a failure. There should be no physician in all the land unacquainted with this God-send to suffering childhood. I am Yours, Very Truly,

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., Aug. 6, 1886.

E. W. FINCH, M. D.

SPECIAL-LATEXINE is the property of the widow of an old school physician. The Liebig Company handles it purely. as a matter of good will, it being the only source of income to the lady in question. No charge is made by us to her for the handling of this preparation. Physicians of all schools. constantly prescribe it, and hundreds of letters from medical gentlemen testify to its surprising efficacy. This receipt has been in use for a quarter of a century, and was originated during the life-time of the physician above alluded to. It can be ordered through druggists, or we will send it direct at FIFTY CENTS PER BOTTLE, or six for Two Dollars and a Half. By the dozen, the price to physicians is Four Dollars and a Half.

BELLADONNA

INCORPORATED

PLASTER

WITH BORACIC ACID,

GIVING AN INCREASED ACTION.

See Dr. Agnew's Report.

'N consequence of a suggestion coming from DR. J. V. SHOEMAKER, of Philadelphia, we have devoted considerable attention to a valuable improvement in Medicated Plasters in rubber combination, by means of the addition of Boracic Acid to regular Pharmacopoeia formulas. The result of our experience clearly demonstrates that an increased and more reliable therapeutic effect is obtained thereby, owing to the fact that Boracic Acid not only decomposes the fatty matter in the pores of the skin, but by holding the drug employed in a more soluble condition it is more readily absorbed. Whenever BELLADONNA PLASTER is indicated, we find this combination of inestimable value.

Dr. D. H. Agnew, of Philadelphia, Professor of Surgery in the University of Pennsylvania, Surgeon in-Chief to the late President Garfield, says: "I am greatly pleased with your Belladonna Plaster, with Boracic Acid. I find it gives a quicker and better effect than any Belladonna Plaster I have heretofore used.”

VEGETABLE PEPSIN

PAPOID,

A New Drug obtained in the Tropics, from the fruit of the Carica Papaia,

SUPERIOR TO ANIMAL PEPSIN.

Prof. Finikler, of University of Bonn, states that:

Papoid converts five times as much albumen into peptone, bulk for bulk, as the best pepsin. Papoid increases the flow of gastric juice by stimulating the peptic glands.

Papoid acts in the presence of an alkali or an antiseptic, which pepsin will not do.

Useful in all forms of dyspepsia. Used with Bicarbonate of Soda or Boracic Acid, gives excellent results where acid dyspepsia is indicated.

Endorsed by Drs. Herschell, London: Kohts, Asche, Shaeffer, Rossbach, Heinemann, Germany; and many others. Send for Pamphlet.
