NOTICES.
Invaluable to the student of American History.--_Baltimore (Md.)
Herald_.
Deserves a welcome in every school district, as well as in every
historical library in the land.--_Army and Navy Journal_.
In our opinion, General Carrington's work is an authority, showing great
labor and careful study, and it should become a national text-book, and
find a place in all public and private libraries.--_Indianapolis
(Ind.) Herald_.
Each map is accompanied with a statement of the generals and number of
men engaged on both sides, to which is appended the reason for such
battle or engagement, with remarks by the author, who is excellent
authority in military matters.--_The Educator (New Haven, Ct.)_.
A valuable compilation from the author's large work, and cannot fail to
make a more lasting impression upon the reader's mind than could be
derived from the perusal of many volumes of history.--_N.Y.
Herald_.
Each map is accompanied by a page of text, arranged upon a compact and
original system, so as to present a singularly clear view of the history
and significance of the engagement in question, the names of the chief
and subordinate commanders, the forces, nominal and available, the
losses on each side, and the incidents of the battle.--_N.Y. Evening
Post_.

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,

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.'"
The Rise of Silas Lapham.
By WILLIAM D. HOWELLS. 1 vol. 12mo.

this, the latest and most important, and we think his best work,"--says
the _New Jerusalem Messenger_.
For a Woman.
By NORA TERRY, 1 vol. 16mo. $1.00.
An admirable Story of modern life in America.

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.

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_.
[Illustration]
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.

The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one

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.

We take much pleasure in announcing that arrangements have been made to
supply our readers with an extraordinary bargain, by offering to them a
LIMITED number of Proof Impressions of
HOLLYER'S LINE AND STIPPLE STEEL PLATE ENGRAVING
Of the late Henry W. Longfellow in His Library

The following are a few endorsements among many others of like high
character that have been given after a critical inspection of the
engraving, viz:
_John. J. Platt, the poet says_: The likeness is an excellent one.
It represents our beloved and lamented poet in his most familiar
atmosphere. Longfellow was a poet of home and its affections, and this
engraving should be in every American home.
_John B. Peaslee, Superintendent of Public Schools, Cincinnati, O.,
says_: Beyond question, HOLLYER'S portrait of LONGFELLOW is the most
accurate and life-like that has appeared. It is a great work, and will
speedily find its way into our cultured American homes.
_The Boston Daily Globe says_: HOLLYER has certainly achieved an
artistic triumph. The portrait of LONGFELLOW is one of _the best_
that has been issued.
_The Providence (R.I.) Evening Press says_: HOLLYER has produced a
new, beautiful and _artistic steel plate engraving_ of "LONGFELLOW
IN HIS LIBRARY," of which neither artist nor publisher need be ashamed.
_The Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer says_: Mr. HOLLYER'S ENGRAVINGS have
gained for him a wide fame in this country and in Europe, and in the
present work he has certainly not lost any of the vigor, strength and
power which characterized his earlier works. Every one who honors
LONGFELLOW will want to possess this engraving.

_It is seldom that we have an opportunity to direct attention to
anything so really worthy of notice as this Complete Stamping Outfit.
While the price is almost ridiculously low for the entire outfit, the
number, excellence and variety of the articles furnished almost exceeds
belief. Even for a family to do its own stamping the outfit would be of
great service; but when it is realised, that by means of the
instruction, samples and materials that are included as "Outfits," any
lady can easily become a proficient in making choice Kensington Lace of
most elegant and graceful patterns, and become skilled in executing
every description of perforated stamping and thus make a nice addition
to her income in a very easy and pleasant way, it would seem that
scarcely anyone would neglect taking advantage of so favorable an
opportunity. These stamping outfits are particularly appropriate for
holiday presents and, in our opinion, well worthy of attentive,
consideration._

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.

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.
