M. T. Kego. Peterson's Magazine for Octo-is on hand, and is one of the best numbers of this year of even unusual excellence. The 6teel-engraving is a charming reproduction of beauthul painting, "A Maiden Fan-to See," and the fashion-plate, woodcuts, and designs for the work-table are all capital.

There is an interesting illustrated article by the way of opening, and the stories and poems are exceptionally good. In this number are given the offers to persons getting up clubs for next year, and they are very tempting: few magazines award premiums that approach the valuable books and engravings 'Peterson" bestows. The attractions for 1888 are numerous hew writers to be added to the staff of favorite old contributors, more costly engravings and wood-cuts in fact, novelty and fresh variety in every department. One can be certain this is not only said, but really meant: for this popular magazine has proved during nearly half a century, that its promises are always faith tnlly kept. Terms: Two dollars per year with great deductions to clubs.

Simple copies sent free to those desiring to 'get up clubs. Address Peterson's Mau-azise, 303 Chetuut Street, Philadel phia, Pa. It is a Fact, writes Mrs. Eliza Ann Smith, of Vermillion, Erie Ohio, to tell the ladies everywhere thai nothing surpasses Dr. Barter's Iron Tonic for all irregularities.
