PErERsoN's MAGAZINE for June comes to
us, a paragon of beauty, ahead of all others.
The principal steel-engraving alone is lmost
worth the subscription price. ono other mag
azine," as we often hear said, 'has such steel
engravings." A charming story, by Frank
Lee Benedict, illustrates this pretty picture.
The colored steel fashion plate is also unusu-
ally brilliant, even for peterson" Most of
the other illustrations-some fifty in number
are devoted to the fashions, to patterns in
embroidery, etc. The "Story of Louisiana
Pine-Lands"-one of rare merits finished
in this number. But all the stories and nov
elets in Peterson" as is well known, are ex-
ceptionally good. Considering the low price
of this magazine, and its very great merit, we
wonder it has not an even larger circulation;
every family ought to take it. The terms are
but two dollars a year, with great deductions
to clubs, and costly premiums to those getting
up clubs. Now is an especially good time to
subscribe; for a new volume begins with the
July number; when those who do not wish
back numbers can commence. Specimens are
sent gratis, if written for, to persons wishing
to get up clubs. Address Charles J. Peter
son, 306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Easy to Soc Through.

How can a watch-no matter how costly

operate? How can anyone be well when his
stomach, liver or kidneys are out of order?-

sands of people drag along miserably in that

A Dangerou. Surgical Operation.

A fatal mistake. At the time DIR. Bance of
Cleveland, performed the operation on the
lady for the removal of a cancer of the stom-
ach he found when too late that the poor wo-
man had no cancer to be removed. The dis
ease was indigestion, and if she had taken the
Shaker Extract of Roots(Siegel's Syrup that
awful distress at the pit of the stomach, which
made the doctors think she had cancer, would
have been removed. Distress after eating,
dull, heavy feeling in the head, with pains in
the side and back all vanish after using this
wonderful remedy. The tired, languid feel
ing gives place to strength and vigor.
Mrs. Della Marsh writes from Pea Ridge,
Benton Co., Ark, that she had Dyspepsia in
the worst form for five years, and that moth
ing gave any relief until she used the Siegel
Syrup. She SAYS that two bottles cured her.
She Shaker Tar Capsules are good for Coughs.

For many years l have been roubled with
a scrofulous affection. Ny right leg was COW
cred with sores from the hip to the ankle
some of them large and painful, running a
great deal 1 tried everything l could think
of or friends could suggest. The physicians
did what they could, but brought no perma-
nent relief My case was well known in this
community, as well as the fearful sufferings I
endured. Last fall, at the suggestion of a
friend, 1 began the use of Swift's Specific. 1t
produced a change so apparent that it aston
ished everybody, as one ulcer after another
disappeared, and none were more astonished
than myself. Six bottles produced an entire
cure. My restoration is due entirely to the
use of this medicine. 1t is the best blood pu-
riier in the world, and will come nearer doing
what is claimed for it than any medicine I
have ever tried. J.. NJ. WATKINS.
