====CABOT'S====
CREOSOTE STAINS
====ON====
EXTERIOR WOOD WORK.
These Stains have been Largely and Successfully used during the past few seasons.
Owing to the strange PRESERVATIVE POWER of the Creosote, wood treated with this Stain cannot decay but simply wears away from the force of the weather.
The Stain in weathering does not become shabby like paint; but the surfaces assume weather beaten grays, very soft and harmonious, and varying slightly according to the original hue. The Stain may be renewed at any time with little trouble or expense, as the natural hues which nature gives in combination with the stain are allowed to stay.
Houses treated with these Stains may be seen at almost any of the seaside and suburban resorts of NEW ENGLAND, and on the NEW JERSEY and LONG ISLAND COASTS.
FOR ARTISTIC COLORING EFFECTS THEY ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO PAINT, WHILE THEIR PRESERVATIVE POWER MAKES THEM DOUBLY VALUABLE.

SIMPSON SPRING WATER. SPRING HOUSE AND Bottling Establishment SO. EASTON, MASS.
This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the STOMACH, LIVER, KIDNEYS and BLADDER.
A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC.
PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health.
[NOTE.—This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof. Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society, Jan. 12, 1884.]
PARTS IN 1,000,000
Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06
The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches.
The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial.
Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885.
Dear Sirs,—"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its properties are characteristic, and as clinically trustworthy as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."

CANTON BLEACH.
The goods are full strength; i.e., they are not injured by strong chemicals, the coloring matter only being removed, and the fibre being left uninjured.
The goods are not artificially weighted; i.e., they contain nothing but pure cotton, no sizing, clay, or chemicals to make it appear heavy, and which all disappear when the cloth is washed.
The goods have the softest and best finish; i.e., you can sew through any number of thicknesses which you can get into the sewing-machine, the needle passing through with ease.
Needles and thread do not constantly break; no soaping of seams is required; the goods not being overbleached will outwear goods bleached by the old process.
Do not purchase cotton goods until you have examined the "Canton Bleach." Be sure and demand of retailers generally to see the goods; and do not fail, before purchasing a yard of cotton goods, to see if the stamp "Canton Bleach" is on it.
NOTICE.—Your attention is called to this new bleach as seen on cotton goods, which are now for sale by MESSRS. C.F. HOVEY & CO., SHEPARD, NORWELL & CO., HOGG, BROWN & TAYLOR, CHANDLER & CO., R.H. WHITE & CO., JORDAN, MARSH & CO., and others.

THE OLD CORNER BOOK STORE.
The above illustration, especially prepared by Harper and Brothers for George P. Lathrop's article on "Literary and Social Life in Boston," that appeared in Harper's Monthly Magazine for February, is a good representation of the outward appearance of the quaint and picturesque old building standing on the corner of Washington and School Streets.
Famous as the "Corner Store" is as an old landmark, it is justly more famous as the intellectual birthplace of many of the best known works in American literature, the firm of Ticknor & Fields—whose publishing foresight and enterprise have imperishably connected their names with American authors—having occupied it during one of the most brilliant chapters of American literary history.
Under the energetic auspices of Cupples, Upham & Co., it has become one of the most complete retail book establishments in the country, and so popular a resort that all Boston may with a little exaggeration be said to pass through it in a day. To every stranger it is, from its present literary attractiveness, a place not to be overlooked. The literary men of Boston make it their lounging-place and chief rendezvous. To stroll into the "Old Corner" for a chat, a glimpse at the last new book and magazine, is with them a daily duty, as it is with the Bostonian generally. It is a popular shopping-place with ladies, who patronize its church department for works of devotion, prayer books, hymnals, and Bibles. The reason of the extensive patronage which the establishment receives from all classes of readers is due to its admirable department system. It has a department for medical, scientific, and agricultural works; another for maps, globes, and guide books; another for theological literature; another for books in fine bindings, illustrated works, etc; another for sporting and yachting books, and out-door literature generally; one for juvenile books; another for English books, as well as one for American miscellaneous works; and, lastly, special counters for newspapers, periodicals, and novels. It is seldom without the last "new thing" in English, French, or American literature.
The firm does an extensive importing business, and pays special attention to the supplying of Town Libraries and Clubs.

CANTON BLEACH.
The goods are full strength; i.e., they are not injured by strong chemicals, the coloring matter only being removed, and the fibre being left uninjured.
The goods are not artificially weighted; i.e., they contain nothing but pure cotton, no sizing, clay, or chemicals to make it appear heavy, and which all disappear when the cloth is washed.
The goods have the softest and best finish; i.e., you can sew through any number of thicknesses which you can get into the sewing-machine, the needle passing through with ease.
Needles and thread do not constantly break; no soaping of seams is required; the goods not being overbleached will outwear goods bleached by the old process.
Do not purchase cotton goods until you have examined the "Canton Bleach." Be sure and demand of retailers generally to see the goods; and do not fail, before purchasing a yard of cotton goods, to see if the stamp "Canton Bleach" is on it.
NOTICE.—Your attention is called to this new bleach as seen on cotton goods, which are now for sale by MESSRS. C.F. HOVEY & CO., SHEPARD, NORWELL & CO., HOGG, BROWN & TAYLOR, CHANDLER & CO., R.H. WHITE & CO., JORDAN, MARSH & CO., and others.

An Entirely New Edition of Lord Byron's
CHILDE HAROLD,
WITH NUMEROUS NEW AND BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS ON WOOD.
THE DRAWINGS BY
Harry Fenn, F. Myruck, S.L. Smith, G.G. Harley, E.H. Garrett, G. Perkins, F.B. Schell, J.D. Woodward, and L.S. Ipsen.
Drawn and Engraved under the Supervision of A.V.S. Anthony.
PRICE IN CLOTH, $6.00; IN ANTIQUE MOROCCO on TREE CALF, $10.00, IN CRUSHED LEVANT, WITH SILK LININGS, $25.00.
"CHILDE HAROLD" is the most famous of the poems of Lord Byron, and abounds in the most picturesque and attractive scenes and subjects for illustration; including the beautiful scenery of the Rhine, and of Italy and Greece, and the rich treasures of art and history in the classic countries around the Mediterranean.
The best American artists have drawn these illustrations, con amore, producing a great number of very choice examples of the high perfection which wood-engraving has reached in the New World. The general supervision of the work has devolved upon Mr. A.V.S. ANTHONY, who held the same relation to the recent magnificent editions of "Lucille" "The Lady of the Lake," "The Princess," and "Marmion;" thus ensuring the utmost accuracy in study, taste in composition, and elegance in finish.
The Publishers believe that in this form and with this elegance of finish the work will be widely welcomed as a Fine Art Edition, and become the
LEADING HOLIDAY GIFT-BOOK OF THE YEAR.
"In every respect a beautiful book. It is printed from new plates and its many illustrations have been furnished by artists famous in their line. It is even more attractive than its handsome predecessors, the 'Marmion' and the Lady of the Lake."—Boston Traveller.
"The most talked of Book since 'Daniel Deronda.'"

Social Silhouettes. By EDGAR FAWCETT. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
"All Gotham is busy gossiping over Edgar Fawcett's series of social Silhouettes,' and everybody has his pet theory as to whom is deliniated in each portrait."—New Orleans Times Democrat.

Aulnay Tower. By BLANCHE WILLIS HOWARD. 12mo. $1.50.
"A story which, for absorbing interest, brilliancy of style, charm of graphic character drawing, and exquisite literary quality, will hold its rank among the best work in American fiction."—Boston Traveller.
Love; or, A Name. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
"Mr. Hawthorne has a more powerful imagination than any contemporary write of fiction."—The Academy (London).
A Narrative of Military Service. By Gen. W.B. HAZEN. 1 vol. 8vo. With Maps, Plans and Illustrations. $3.00.
"There can be no doubt, we think, that it will be eagerly read, particularly by the brave soldiers whom he led at Shiloh, who held the crest at Stone Ridge, who stood firm under his eye at Chickamauga, who floated with him by night under the shadow of Lookout Mountain down to Brown's Ferry, who received his order to climb the fence of Mission Ridge who helped to take Atlanta, who marched to the sea, who swarmed over the parapets of Fort McAllister, who made the triumphant campaign of the Carolinas, and passed in review before the President."—New York Mail and Express.

Full of reminiscences and history of the grand old New England Commonwealth.—Buffalo Christian Advocate.
If the Bay State keeps up to the mark of this number (Sept.) it will fairly rank with the best magazines.—Philadelphia American.
We emphasize again, this magazine should be liberally supported for its historical value.—Dorchester Beacon (Boston.)

Mayo's Vegetable Anaesthetic. ======
A perfectly safe and pleasant substitute for chloroform, ether, and all other anaesthetics. Discovered by Dr. U.K. Mao, April, 1884, and since administered by him and others in over 106,000 cases successfully. Compounded from nervines which impart oxygen to sustain life, (Nitrous oxide gas, as administered, is destitute of this and tends to produce convulsions and suffocation). The youngest child, the most sensitive lady, and those having heart disease and lung complaint, inhale this vapor with impunity. It stimulates the circulation and builds up the tissues. Recommended in midwifery and all cases of nervous prostration. Physicians, surgeons, dentists and private families supplied. For further information, pamphlets, testimonials, etc., apply to Dr. U.K. MAYO, Dentist, 378 Tremont street, Boston, Mass. ======
INDORSEMENT OF THE LATE DR. THORNDIKE.
BOSTON, August 15, 1883.
This certifies that I removed in the back of Mr. J.D. Moore a tumor weighing two pounds and three-quarters. The time occupied was twenty-two minutes. The patient was insensible during the whole operation, and came out from the influence of the anaesthetic speedily and perfectly, without nausea or any ill effects. The agent used was prepared by Dr. U.K. Mayo, the dentist, a new discovery of his own. I consider this anaesthetic the safest the world has yet seen.

THE NEW HIGH ARM DAVIS VERTICAL FEED SEWING MACHINE.
Surprises and pleases all.
A novice can produce work without basting, that skilled operators dare not attempt on under-feed machines.
No change is made in running, from finest muslin to heavy leather.
It is readily applied to any specialties that cannot be handled by others.
Simplicity in construction is one of our important points, as we gain strength and durability, and a perfect working machine at all times.
Time and labor saved in dressmaking, as it has the largest variety and most perfect working attachments.
This feed is absolutely perfect, and no care is required on the part of the operator in passing over seams or uneven places.
Will not full or stretch the softest of fabrics.
The stitch is very elastic, and the same on both sides.
One-half hour spent at any of our offices will more than verify our statements.
Do not fail to examine the Davis before purchasing.

SIMPSON SPRING WATER.
SPRING HOUSE _AND_ Bottling Establishment_
SO. EASTON, MASS.
This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the STOMACH, LIVER, KIDNEYS and BLADDER.
A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC.
PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health.
[NOTE.—This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof. Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society, Jan. 12, 1884.]
PARTS IN 1,000,000
Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06
The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches.
The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial.
Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885.
Dear Sirs,—"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its properties are characteristic, and as clinically trustworthy as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."

CANTON BLEACH.
The goods are full strength; i.e., they are not injured by strong chemicals, the coloring matter only being removed, and the fibre being left uninjured.
The goods are not artificially weighted; i.e., they contain nothing but pure cotton, no sizing, clay, or chemicals to make it appear heavy, and which all disappear when the cloth is washed.
The goods have the softest and best finish; i.e., you can sew through any number of thicknesses which you can get into the sewing-machine, the needle passing through with ease.
Needles and thread do not constantly break; no soaping of seams is required; the goods not being overbleached will outwear goods bleached by the old process.
Do not purchase cotton goods until you have examined the "Canton Bleach." Be sure and demand of retailers generally to see the goods; and do not fail, before purchasing a yard of cotton goods, to see if the stamp "Canton Bleach" is on it.

An Entirely New Edition of Lord Byron's
CHILDE HAROLD,
WITH NUMEROUS NEW AND BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS ON WOOD.
THE DRAWINGS BY
Harry Fenn, F. Myruck, S.L. Smith, G.G. Harley, E.H. Garrett, G. Perkins, F.B. Schell, J.D. Woodward, and L.S. Ipsen.
Drawn and Engraved under the Supervision of A.V.S. Anthony.
PRICE IN CLOTH, $6.00; IN ANTIQUE MOROCCO on TREE CALF, $10.00, IN CRUSHED LEVANT, WITH SILK LININGS, $25.00.
"CHILDE HAROLD" is the most famous of the poems of Lord Byron, and abounds in the most picturesque and attractive scenes and subjects for illustration; including the beautiful scenery of the Rhine, and of Italy and Greece, and the rich treasures of art and history in the classic countries around the Mediterranean.
The best American artists have drawn these illustrations, con amore, producing a great number of very choice examples of the high perfection which wood-engraving has reached in the New World. The general supervision of the work has devolved upon Mr. A.V.S. ANTHONY, who held the same relation to the recent magnificent editions of "Lucille" "The Lady of the Lake," "The Princess," and "Marmion;" thus ensuring the utmost accuracy in study, taste in composition, and elegance in finish.
The Publishers believe that in this form and with this elegance of finish the work will be widely welcomed as a Fine Art Edition, and become the
LEADING HOLIDAY GIFT-BOOK OF THE YEAR.
"In every respect a beautiful book. It is printed from new plates and its many illustrations have been furnished by artists famous in their line. It is even more attractive than its handsome predecessors, the 'Marmion' and the Lady of the Lake."—Boston Traveller.
