AVIiat tliej- Say of it: 



From Prof. .\. J. Cook, Lansing-, Midi.—" I 

 hii\e g-rciitly to thank you forg-ettiug up the 

 ox<iuisite little Convention Hand - Book. 

 Surely the old 'saying' is true— being- a thing- 

 of beauty, it ought to be a joy forever." 



I From Mr. A. 1. Root, Medina, O.— " Send 



» me dozen of the Convention Hand-Books. 



We have had quite a number of inquiries for 

 something of that sort, and yours seems to 

 be quite nieely g-otten up, and just what is 

 wanted." 



From Mr. J. E. Pond, Fo.vboro, Mass.— "The 

 Convention Hand-Book is just the thing. 

 The digest of Parliamentary Rules it eou- 

 lains will prove of great value to every one. 

 I trust it will receive the patronage it so well 

 deserves." 



From G. M. Doolittle, Borodino, N. Y.— " I 

 am in receipt of the new Convention Hand- 

 Book, and must congi-atulate you on the 

 hap]>.v thought of such a work, and the neat 

 a[)|>earance of the book. It Is a work you 

 may well be proud of, both as to the matter 

 it contains, and the splendid material used 

 in its make-up. It will meet along-felt want; 

 and, were it so that I could attend conven- 

 tions as in former years, ten times the price 

 would not seem too much to pay for it, for 

 by the instruction therein given, any man 

 could be kept from many a blunder, much to 

 his mortitication. I hope in the near future 

 to again be at liberty to go to con^'entions. 

 when 1 shall prize the work very highly." 



From Mrs. L. Harrison, Peoria, 111. — "The 

 Bee-Keepi-rs' Convention Hand-Book is a 

 gem. It should be in the hands of every one 

 who attends a bee-convention. and then there 

 will be no need of embarrassment on account 

 of ignoratici-ol Parliamentary Rules. Accept 

 my thanks for samide sent." 



From Mr. .las. Heddon, Dowagiae, Mich.— 

 "The Bee-Keepers' Convention Hand-Book 

 is received. I saw it advertised, but con- 

 ceived no appro.ximateideaof its great value 

 to bee-keepers attending conventions, until 

 I perused it. Many times the price of my 

 copy would be no temptation for me to do 

 without it. It will make us all want to talk 

 at once, I fear. You deserve the thanks of 

 all, and I herewith tender mine for this 

 helper." 



From Mr. C!. \V. Demaree, Christiausburg, 

 Ky.— "The Convention Iland-Uook is the 

 most e.\quisitel\ K-ollen \ip, and the nicest 

 book in mv eolli-etion of apicnltural works. 

 It contains mueli \alualde information, and 

 especially as nuinj- of the pr^-siding otlieers 

 of our convent ion's arc selected to HU those 

 important positions liecause of their practi- 

 cal skill as apiarists rather than for their 

 fitness as presiding olHcers. this little work 

 will tin a long-felt want. Please accept ray 

 thanks for your untiring labor to promote 

 the ajiicultural interest of the country." 



From Dr. G. L. Tinker. New Philadelphia, 

 Ohio.— "1 prize the Convention Hand-Hook 

 very nuu-h, and it will be a valuable aid to 

 bce-kei-pcrs alli-ndiiig conventions. The 

 (luc'stioiis lor dis(-ussion are concise, and 

 cover tlie Held Id the nuist interesting and 

 unsettleil points ui bee-culture. The book 

 will help to syslrmi/.e convention work, and 

 enable the members (o do business properly." 



From Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, Bogersville, 

 Mich.—" If every bee-keeper would read the 

 Convention Ha'nd-ltook, and profit by its 

 perusal, our Con\-ciitions would be more 

 orderly and hiwv nmre beneficial." 



From Mr. George Hilton, Fremont, Mich.- 

 "I think the Convention Hand-Book is des- 

 tined to fill a long-felt want, and should be 

 in the hands of every intelligent bee-keeper." 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A pamphlet of 16 pages giving 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price still lower, 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 5 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 40 cents ; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; or 1000 for 

 $1500. On orders of 100 or more, 

 we will print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, " I'resented by,'' etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



(^ To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " to every one who 

 buys a packaye of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it.

 several, 'i'lie "Doctor" has entirely cured 

 me, so that I am now a Bingham man, as my 

 wife always has been. If the somewhat 

 vague reiiiark in your letter means that 

 nothing was charged f(n- the Smoker sent, 

 c.veept the reading of j-our letter, I shall be 

 very glad of another "Doctor" forthc money

 me. Bees just booming on white clover.
