Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to weto 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen,. 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented 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 liim to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit.

 2 o'clock, p. m,, at Columbus Junction, 

 Iowa, to consider the practicability of

 just arrived in Chicago with a letter 

 of introduction from Mr.Stalhammar,

 endorses him very strongly, and wants 

 us to find him a place to care for bees.

 hand, it will be appreciated if they 

 will write to us. He speaks but a few 

 words of English,butisa very healthy-
