Will show how we propose to do it.
Regarding the book, 1t is the best work

ume that will prove of inestimable value
to them-One that will certainly save them
money, and may save life
The offer we are making is the most lib
eral made by any paper in the country.
To give our subscribers the benefit of it,
we nave incurred a heavy expense, and,
in certain sense, have taken great risk,
for, i'm order to get these books at such a
rate that we could afford to handle them
at all, we had to buy a large lot of them,
for which we paid in advance.
However this does not worry us. We
regard our action from a strictly business
standpoint, and look upon the outlay iu-
Cured as a permanent investment.
What we are after is "A greatly increased
circulation. Not one half the people liv
ing in the territory covered by the Week

the paper, are now taking 1t and they
never will take it till, in some way, they
learn how valuable a paper it really is
