Honey as Food and Medicine. 



E^ To create Honey Marlsets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey" (only .50 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will be a demand for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices : 



Single copy, 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 cts. : per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will tie sent 

 postpaid for $10.00; or 1,000 for $15,00. 

 On orders of 100 or more, we will print, if 

 desired, on the cover-pagis "Presented by," 

 etc. (giving the name and address of the bee- 

 keeper who scatters them). 



The Western World Guide and Hand- 

 Book of Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in Euch a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and liinding are excellent,
