street. So important has the subject
seemed that a reporter of this paper
called at the office of the Cosmopolitan.
90 Park Row. New York, and desired to
see Mr.. Schlicht, the manager. The
gentleman gave the writer an audience,
as follows:
do you propose, Mr.. Schlicht, making
the colored illustrations a regular fe;.-
ture of the Cosmopolitan?
''We certainly do was the reply.
''And we are positive it will prove a
great feature. 1t is a wholly original
idea with us. and we have been over
| whelmed with compliments. The article
on the Ballet in Paris. in this February
number, with the artistic colored illus
traitors, has naturally attracted great
attention"
"What gave you the idea of this new
departure, Mr.. SclIlicht?'
Il conceived it some time since, and
have been studying up the subject very
carefully. Something over year ago |
was abroad. in the interests of the
Schlicht & Field Co., to form companies
in England, France and Germany, for
introducing our labor-saving Office de-
vices. At that time gave some atten-
ton to literature and art matters;
nearly dead from malaria, that at times
| could scarcely hold up my head. If
you have ever attempted to do business
or any kind of creative work, when
afflicted with the horrors of malaria,
you can realize what | endured. / con-

land and they failed to assist me at all.
Then | went on the Continent to Berlin.
| was even worse there. 1t seemed to
me that | would never be able to do
business again, or take any real interest
in life; and so, to make a long story
short, | returned to America. The day
l landed in New York. friend invited
me to his home to dinner. He saw my
wretched condition, and declared that
he had something he was certain would
positively cure it. More to please my
friend than anything else. | took
some of his remedy, and to my sur
prise, | slept well that night. You
can well imagine that l continued to
take it the next day; and, in brief, within
one month from that time, | was en-
tirely cured of malaria in its worst form,
wholly by the use of Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey-no quinine. no drugs. Dur
ing all this time | was encouraged to
continue its use by my wife, who is
firm believer in temperance, as indeed l
am myself, and, IN fact, my wife pur-
chased it by the dozen for me. When l
recovered felt like new man, and
have persuaded numbers of my friends
to try the same means for restoring tkeir
health, and the results have been able
to achieve, in making the Cosmopolitan
the wonderfully popular magazine that
it is. and assisting in carrying the bust
ness of the Schlicht & Field Co. to
its present enormous proportions, is
largely due to my renewed health"
''And you find the public take readily
to artistic colored illustrations in your
magazine, do you, MIR. Schlicht p
''Unquestionably. The Cosmopolitan
Magazine has been a success from the
start, as indeed, its popular literature,
filing field distinctly its own, perhaps
between the daily papers and
the more antiquated magazines entities
it to. But | believe our feature OF
colored illustrations will sweep the coun-
try, and mark distinct era in magazine
literature.
Thanking Mr.. Schlicht for his courtesy
and information, the writer withdrew,
fully satisfied that both the Cosmopolitan |
and Mr.. Schlieht have indeed hit upon
some of those happy discoveries which !
both interest and please the people, and !
help the worlds progress.
