Revised by Dadant— 1900 Edition. 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth, and contains 

 over 500 pages, being revised by those 

 large, practical bee-keepers, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Each subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1.20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for S2.00 ; or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us 

 THREE NEW subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year, with $3.00. 



This IS a splendid chance to get a 

 grand bee-book for a very little money 

 or work.

The Eye is more sensitive and subject to more 

 diseases than any other part of the body. 

 Ninety nine out of a hundred cases of poor or 

 failing e;yesigbt are due to simple little troubles 

 that are easily cured; and most of the serious 

 diseases of the eye that cause blindness beffin 

 with thcf-e simple little troubles. People usu- 

 ally rush to a spectacle dealer and buj glasses 

 wh' never they find that they cannot see clearly, 

 which is like getting crutches for some little 

 sore on your foot, instead of treating the sore. 

 There are about 40 diseases of the eje. but only 

 a few of them are painful, and it is natural to 

 most people to think that if Ihere is no pain, 

 there is no disease; hence the most serious of 

 these diseases are often neglected until they 

 are so far advanced that when one goes to a 

 specialist, he insists upon an operation and a 

 big fee, or a long, troublesome course of treat- 

 ment and a big bill. 



One of the most useful things ever published 

 is a little book on " Diseasesof the liye," which 

 describes and illustrates the most common of 

 these diseases and explains a simple system of 

 treatment by mail by which ihe trouble is 

 easily diagnosed and treated bv simple, harm- 

 less remedies. This book is sent free by the 

 Chilian Remedy Co , Bushnell, 111. It shows 

 how painful, dangerous and expensive opera- 

 tions can be avoided in the treatment of cat- 

 aract and other eye diseases by using simple 

 remedies discovered by one of the most Jamous 

 eye specialists of the age, without using the 

 knife or taking the chancesof blindness, whuh 

 often results from operations. Please mention 

 the American Bee Journal when writing.
