A Good Dictionary ter Tw. Cents.

A dictionary containing the defini.
tons of 10000 of the most useful
and important words in the English
language, is published by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co Schenectady,
n. Y. While it contains some adyer-
Using, it is a complete dictionary,
concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has
been taken to omit none of those
common words whose spelling or
exact use occasions at times a mo-
mentary difficulty, even to well sdu-
Gated people. The main aim has
been to give as much useful infor
nation as possible in a limited
space. With this in view, where
noun, adjective and verb are all
obviously connected in meaning,
usually one only has been inserted.
The volume will thus be found to
contain the meaning of very many
more words than it processes to ex-
plain.
To those who already have a
dictionary, this book will commend
itself because i. is compact, light
and convenient; to those who have
70 dictionary whatever. it will be
invaluable. One may be secured by
