GUNS FOR THE BOYS.
The Guns described below are all especially adapted
to "Fourth of July" sports, from the fact that with
them torpedos can be thrown with great accuracy and,
exploding as they strike, make a very loud report. What
is known as the small "American" torpedo is the best.
These Guns are especially suitable for drilling
purposes. Any boy will find it a very easy matter to
secure enough subscriptions to earn the guns that may
be needed for his company.
"DOCTOR CARVER" GUN.

Given for one new subscription to THE PANSY or
OUR LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN; or, given for one new
subscription to BABYLAND and =20 cents cash additional=.
It has an adjustable tension that can be regulated to
suit the strength of any boy. This is a new gun, made
on a new principle, and is the best arrangement for
target shooting ever seen. It shoots with great force
and accuracy. Three arrows go with each gun. It will
also fire marbles, bullets, sticks or paper wads. The
gun is nicely finished in all parts and is painted a
bright red that will not fade, which makes it very
handsome. It is three feet long, strong and durable,
easy to adjust and load, and does not get out of order.
Price 50 cents. Sent postage paid in the United States.

[Illustration]
Given for one new subscription to BABYLAND.

Messrs. PROCTER & GAMBLE, Cincinnati. Newark, N. J., Sept. 19, 1885.
Gentlemen: Although a stranger to you, and my testimonial entirely
unnecessary, as it certainly is unsolicited, yet I take great pleasure
in testifying to the excellence of your "IVORY" Soap and thanking
you for putting it on the market at so low a price. It has entirely
supplanted the use of Castile and other fine soaps in my household
for several years past, being in no way inferior, and from fifty to
seventy-five per cent. more economical. A good test I find for the
purity of soap is to try it with a brush for cleansing the teeth and
the taste of the "IVORY" Soap so used is perfectly sweet and clean.
Very respectfully yours, W. S. BAKER, M.D.]
