NEW ILLUSTRATED BOOK.
“WHAT GALVANISM HAS DONE AND IS DOING.”
Many interesting and instructive lectures on Electricity are given by
the most eminent scientific men of the present day. All are agreed as to
its curative properties and power to relieve pain, and call attention to
the many fraudulent appliances offered to the public, but they do not
state where one may obtain a genuine appliance constructed on the
necessary principles of the continuous current.
Our New Book explains clearly and very simply how to test an electrical
appliance, either Battery or Belt, to prove its efficacy. It will
instruct you--
HOW GALVANISM CURES LUMBAGO AND PAIN IN BACK.
HOW GALVANISM CURES LOCAL WEAKNESS FROM ALL CAUSES.
HOW GALVANISM CURES ANÆMIA AND BAD CIRCULATION.
HOW GALVANISM CURES ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, GOUT, AND RHEUMATISM.
HOW GALVANISM CURES CHILDREN IN DELICATE HEALTH.

A CHARMING BOOK.
=The Christian World=, in an article on “The Season’s Gift-Books,”
says:--“We put first of the books for girls, ‘When Hearts are Young,’ by
Deas Cromarty.... Breezy and wholesome, and full of natural romance....
Meg, the chief heroine, is a charming study.”
When Hearts are Young.
By DEAS CROMARTY.
_Price 2/6, tastefully bound in cloth, with eight illustrations by_ WILL
MORGAN.
=Mrs. Katharine Tynan-Hinkson in “The Young Woman”=:--“Deas Cromarty has
all the qualities for her work--sympathy, observation, humour, and with
all an exquisite sense of beauty.... It is all deliciously sweet and
wholesome.”
=The Methodist Times= says:--“Deas Cromarty ... comes in a good second to
these great writers (Barrie and Maclaren). There is the freshness of the
mountain breezes about the book which gives zest to the reading of it.”
=The Sunday School Chronicle= says:--“A beautiful story.... With what
sweetness and sympathy and charm of style the idyll is told, let all our
readers find out for themselves.”
=The Manchester Guardian= says:--“... Deas Cromarty has imparted to her
book something of the freshness of the mountainside and the springiness
of the heather. It is delightful to read. One has come across few recent
books that leave a pleasanter impression on the reader’s memory.”
=Lloyd’s News= says:--“This is one of the pleasantest volumes we have
picked up for a long time. The heroine of the story one falls in love
with straightway.... It is a tender, beautiful love story, very fresh
and wholesome, with a wealth of fine descriptive writing.”
=The Manchester Courier= says:--“...This excellent tale.... Those who
pick up the book will find difficulty in laying it down before the last
page is reached.”
=The Methodist Recorder= says:--“One of the most charming stories of the
season.... This is as truly an ‘Idyll’ as anything Tennyson ever wrote.”

_FIFTIETH THOUSAND._
THE CHILD, THE WISE MAN, AND THE DEVIL.
_Price, 1s.; or cloth gilt, 2s._
SOME OPINIONS.
=The Saturday Review= says:--“There is a touch of genius about this
brilliant and original booklet.”
=The Bookman= says:--“Work which deserves to live. No one can read these
pages without emotion.”
=The Queen= says--“A work of genius. Arrests every reader, and can never
be forgotten.”
=The Right Rev. Bishop of London= says:--“It puts with much imaginative
force and beauty the central points in the relation of Christianity to
life.”
=The Rev. Dr. John Clifford= says:--“Magnificent as the offspring of
fancy, it is mightiest as the product of faith. There is not a false
note in it. It rings with sincerity. Figures crowd its pages in
pleasantest setting, like flowers in a sunlit landscape, but it is the
blending of the forces of genius and faith which charms and binds men,
and makes the booklet immortal.”
=The Very Rev. the Dean of Salisbury= says:--“I think it in all respects
most certain to make a profound impression.”
=The Rev. Dr. R. F. Horton, M.A.=, says:--“In Mr. Kernahan we have a
strong writer who will one day be great. He has the grand manner. He has
the touch of Jean Paul Richter in him, which is not elsewhere found
among his contemporaries.... No laboured apology for Christianity will
go so far or accomplish so much as this impassioned utterance, this poem
in prose, this thought of the years distilled in one pearl drop of
purest water.”
=The Daily Mail= says:--“Resembling in many respects his ‘God and the
Ant,’ this new book of Mr. Kernahan’s is an even finer example of
imaginative brilliancy, poetic eloquence, and fervent spiritual
appeal.... There can be no doubt that his little book must make a very
deep and abiding impression upon the hearts and minds of all who read
it.”
=Miss Frances E. Willard= says:--“This beautiful and helpful book will do
enormous good in this age when faith is weak.”
=The Sketch= says:--“Mr. Coulson Kernahan is a man of very large
imaginative gifts. He is a dreamer of dreams, yet human love begets
them. There are few delivering an apocalypse to-day who have a tithe of
his literary skill. He affects nothing, seeking rather to appeal to the
heart of his reader, and in his simplicity finds his strength. How great
that strength is a perusal of ‘The Child, the Wise Man, and the Devil’
very clearly shows.... As dramatic and as finely realised as anything in
the fiction of to-day.... A masterpiece of prose and imagination.”
=The Rev. F. B. Meyer= says:--“It is powerfully conceived, and thrills
with passion; but its chief value is its exposure of the hopelessness
and impossibility of the goal to which modern infidelity would conduct
us. It will arrest and convince thousands.”
=The Rev. Canon H. D. Rawnsley= says:--“This noble parable.”
=The Illustrated London News= says:--“All, of whatever school, must
recognise the boundless charity, the literary power, and the intense
sincerity of one of the most interesting books of the year.”
=The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes= says:--“I recognised in it at once Mr.
Kernahan’s striking genius. I have no doubt that he will reach many who
cannot be approached by any of the ordinary agencies or modes. From
every point of view I regard it as a very valuable and remarkable book.”
=The Rev. Morlais Jones=:--“The Rev. Morlais Jones preached an interesting
sermon on Sunday last,” says the _British Weekly_. “Mr. Morlais Jones
referred in terms of enthusiastic praise to Mr. Coulson Kernahan’s new
book, ‘The Child, the Wise Man, and the Devil.’ The author, he said, was
a man of unmistakable genius.”
=The Echo= says:--“Let us acknowledge with gratitude the fine moral
enthusiasm, the lofty spiritual fervour, and the chivalrous charity of
this most poetic of prosemen. The writer is manly, vigorous, and
sincere.... There will be few readers of this work, however thoroughly
they may dissent from the author’s contentions, who will not allow with
enthusiasm the moral earnestness, the poetic imagination, and the
literary charm of Mr. Kernahan’s stern muse.”
