-Peterson's Magazine, the Queen

-Peterson's Magazine, the Queen of Lady's Books, is on our table for November. The principal steel en- graving. ssLittle Red Riding Hood" 1" is rarely beautiful. So, also, is the mammoth colored steel fashion plate. But, as cotemporary says, the stories, the fashions, the patterns, in short, everything in "Peterson" is the best of it's kind. For 1878 great improvements will be made. Among these will be monthly Sup plement, containing Full Sized Paper Pattern for lady's, or child's dress, thus giving to every subscrib- CT twelve such patterns, extra, dur ing the year. These patterns alone will be worth the subscription price. Five original copyright novelets will also be given, besides a hundred shorter stories. But the price will remain the same, viz: Two Dollars Year, the Postage prepaid by the publisher. To clubs the prices are euen lower, (postage also pre- paid, ) viz: two copies for $3.60, with a superb Mezzotint CA inches by 20,) "The Angels of Christmas" the finest md costliest ever offered, to the person getting up the club; or four copies for $6.S0, (postage pre- paid, and an extra copy to the per son getting up the club. For S9.60 six copies will be sent (postage pre- paid, and both an extra copy and the '.Adgels of Christmas" as pre- miums. Specimens of the Magazine are sent, gratis, if written for, to those wishing to get up clubs. Sub scribe to nothing else until you have seen q copy of this popular maga- zine. Address CHARLES J. PETER SON, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadel- phia, Pa.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let it's wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu- monia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor dylng consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can not be too widely known, Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 70 cents. For sale by J. NJ. Harkey X Bro.
