« Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is selling faster than ever before. I never hesitate to recommend it.’”’— George W. Whitman, Druggist, Albany, Ind.

“Tam safe in saying that my sales of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla far excel those of any other, and it gives thoreugh satisfac- tion.’’— L. H. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa.

“ Aver’s Sarsparilla and Ayer’s Pills are the best seliing medicines in my store. I can recommend them conscien- tiously.’—C. Bickhaus, Pharmatist, Roseland, Il.

““We have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla here for over thirty years and always recommend it when asked to namé the best blood-purifier.’— W. T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio.

“‘T have sold your medicines for the last seventeen years, aud always keep them in stock, as they are staples. ‘ There is nothing so good for the youth- ful bleod’ as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”’ — R. L. Parker, Fox Lake, Wis.

‘‘Ayer’s Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have im stock. I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, ‘I prescribe it over the counter.’ It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors’ prescriptions have been of no avail.”’--C.

William Bryce, publisher, Toronto, has

issued a reprint, for twenty-five cents, of Emanuel Swedenborg’s

‘* Heaven and Hell.” It was written near- ly a century and a half ago, aud has remain- ed a text book to§all ,that seer’s followers ever since. It isa logical statement and quite clear as to meaning, but it does not therefore follow that it is convincing to any, (as he says) who have not the affec- tion of truth, for the sake of truth. The central point of all Swedenborgean writings is that The Lord, is The God of Heaven, and the system one of universal corres- pondence. Swedenborg’s ideas about Heaven and Heli are worthy a thoughful perusal,

Rose Wood, or the Octoroon’s Bride, by Jean Fairweather, is from the press of J. : I. Robinson, of Montreal, and is all sorts and sizes of joys and sorrows, but it ends all right. The Louisiana plantation got re-

stored to its former glory, and ‘‘all went

merry 4s a marriage bell.”

Wm. Bryce’s No. 122 of his Home Series of novels is called? Le Docteur. Rameau, or a Broken Life. The pieces are’ made up of lore and marriage, shattered

links, separations, tragedy, losses and gains,

betrothals, discoveries, revelations, and

finally, which acts like LePage’s glue, the | triumph of love. ‘There are some gvod ideas m it, some fairly well told, but it is; aot conspicuous for originality.

One Mistake, a Manitoban reminiscence, ; by Zero, has a good many hidden lessons of , ive and love experiences; but there is more than ‘‘ one mistake” iz: it. It is not priced, dated nor shown who has ventured to pub- lish it, but it may probably be heard of at the Department of Agriculture. It was issued last year.

Publisher Robinson, of Montreal issued a detective story vith the title of *‘ Silken Threads.” Itisu hard story about three blasted lives, as the conseyuence of a wo-

own heart.

Mr. Naydiaws Family Circle is another of Mr. Robinson’s publications. It is quite worth the 25 cts. asked for it, but such expressions as ‘tthe two eldest brothers,” whom it would bother a Philadelphia law- yer to imagine more than one, indicates defective thinking, which is otherwise con- spicuous in the story.

Dr. Von Bulow is a very nervous man, as every one knows and as most artists are. At a recent performance it was noticed that he left the stage in the middle of a piece, and re- turned with a stalwart mechanic, who moved the piano some distance to the left. and that he then sat down and finished the perfor- mance.
