about American politics. Gamaliel Bradford is the author of the 

 first article, which is entitled " Congress and the Cabinet," and 

 which advocates permitting cabinet officers to appear in Con- 

 gress to give advice and answer questions. " The Place of Party 

 in the Politcal System," by Anson D. Morse of Amherst College, 

 is a defense of the party system. E. P. Oberholtzer in his " Law 

 making by Popular Vote," shows that there has been used at 

 various times in American history a form of the Swiss Referen- 

 dum. The other two main articles are "Recent Tendencies in 

 the Reform of Land Tenure," by E. P. Cheyney, of the University 

 of Pennsylvania, and " Some Neglected Points in the Theory of 

 Socialism,-' by T. B. Veblen. The department of the Annals 

 devoted to personal notes contains brief biographies of the follow- 

 ing men, who have been appointed to positions in the schools of 

 political science or political economy in the various colleges :

 has resigned on account of his many outside duties, and Dr. J. 

 H. Robinson of the University of Pennsylvania has been appointed 

 in his place. Dr. Robinson is lecturer on European history in the 

 Wharton School of Finance and Economy, and is the author of a 

 monograph on the " Original Features of the United States Con- 

 stitution," and a work on the " German Bundesrath."

A most excellent and agree- 

 able tonic and appetizer. It 

 nourishes and invigorates the 

 tired brain and body, imparts re- 

 newed energy and vitality, and 

 enlivens the functions. 



Dr. Ephraim Bateman, Cedarville, N. J., 

 says : 



' ' I have used it for several years, not only 

 in my practice, but in my own individual 

 case, and consider it under all circumstances 

 one of the best nerve tonics that we possess. 

 For mental exhaustion or overwork it gives 

 renewed strength and vigor to the entire 

 system . ' '
