The Magazine Of the Future,

The July Cosmopolitan will mark the
the most radical step ever taken in peri>
odical literature. With that issue the
magazine, unchanged in form, in fact,
one of the best numbers of the CosmopoL
ltaa1 ever issued, will be put on sale at
tsoe,os and one>b9Ificeaats per copy-$1 so
q gear. The cutting in half of price
already deemed low for an illustrated
magazine is the result of an intention
long since formed, to give to the public
an illustrated monthly of the very high
est class at such price as must bring it
within the reach of all persons of intel
lectual tastes, however limited their in
comes. There are more than ten million
readers in the United States and less
than eight hundred Thousand magazines
Pre- printed to supply their demands.
More than four years have been spent ia
reaching the organization necessary for
the production of The Cosmopolitan at
this price, figure hitherto undreamed
of by the reading world. Each depart
nent of the work has been slowly per-
fected, until with the January number
of this year one hundred and fifty thous-

ises to make the year 1893 the most bril-
liant in it's history. No other year has
seen such an array of distinguished
nlmes as will appear on its title page
during 1893. De Maupassant, Mark
Twain, Georg Ebers, Valdez, Spielhagen,
Francois Coppee, Flammarion, and Paul
Heyse, are some of the authors whose
work will appear for the first time DUR
ing the year in the pages of The Cosno-

will decorate it's pages for the first time
during 1898 are Laurens, Toussaint,
Verge, Rochegrosse and Schwabe. Will

Castoria is truly marvellous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recon mend it and more than
million mothers are using it in place of
Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so>called
soothing syrups and other narcotic and
Supplying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep, the
world has ever seen. 1t is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. 1t re-
lieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrb@a and wind collie, allays feverish-
ness, destroys worms, and prevents con-
vulsions, soothes the child and gives it
refreshing and natural sleep. Castora
is the chiIdren's panacea-the mothers
friend.
Castoria is put up in one-size bottles
only. 1t is not sold in bulk. Don't allow
any one to sell you anything else on the
plea or promise that it is lust as good"
and twill answer every purpose" See
that you get CAST O. RIA.
