RECREATION.

THESE APPROVE OF RECREATION. 



Though but a short time a reader of 

 Recreation, I look forward to its coming 

 each month and greatly enjoy reading it. 

 The principles advocated by you touching 

 game and fish protection and forestry re- 

 serves can not be too highly commended. 

 These are deeper questions than the aver- 

 age citizen of this country seems to recog- 

 nize. They mean food and prosperity to 

 millions yet to come. May your good work 

 go on.

The Indiana Union of Literary Clubs is 

 to be congratulated on securing the ser- 

 vices of G. O. Shields, Editor of Recrea- 

 tion, for an address. Mr. Shields is one 

 of the ablest of the workers for the pro- 

 tection of animal life, and has accom- 

 plished greater practical results than any 

 one else in the field. His policy of striking 

 at the marketman who sells game birds out 

 of season is the winning one. 



Indianapolis Sentinel, May 3. 



The address of Mr. G. O. Shields, pub- 

 lished in yesterday's Journal, on "Bird 

 Lovers and Bird Destroyers," was one of 

 the most forcible pleas for bird protection 

 that has come from any quarter. With 

 such facts and arguments before them as 

 were presented in this address it is diffi- 

 cult to see how the lawmakers of any 

 State can fail to do their duty in this re- 

 gard. — Indianapolis Journal, May 3. 



I wonder if all your readers admire and 

 enjoy the excellent poems found in 

 Recreation. In the May issue there are 

 3 or 4 poems are alone worth more than a 

 year's subscription _to the magazine. How 

 you find so many really unique writers I 

 cannot understand. 



John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y. 



Recreation is O. K. I thought when I 

 started to get up a club I should have a 

 hard job on my hands, but found myself 

 mistaken. I spoke to 15 persons about 

 Recreation and 12 of them took it at once. 

 Everyone knows of it and almost everyone 

 wants it. 



H. B. Gay, Chico, Cal. 



Recreation has come to stay with me. It 

 is the only sportsmen's magazine published 

 to-day. I hope you may continue to print 

 it until it shall pull all the bristles from 

 the backs of the game hogs. Soak them all 

 and soak them hard. F. W. Allard, 



Atlanta, Ga. 



m I am entirely satisfied with the Har- 

 rington & Richardson single gun, sent me 

 as a < premium for 5 subscriptions, and 

 hope in the future to give you some more 

 subscriptions.

May I Send You 



A Book? 



I will mail you any book from the list below 

 if you send me your address. 



With it I will send you an order on your near- 

 est druggist for six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Res- 

 torative. If you think that you need it after 

 reading this book, you are welcome to take it a 

 month at my risk. If it cures, pay your druggist 

 $5.50. If it fails, I will pay him myself. 



This remarkable offer is made after a lifetime's 

 experience. I have learned how to strengthen 

 the inside nerves — those nerves that alone operate 

 every vital organ. I make each organ do its 

 duty by bringing back its nerve power. No case 

 is too difficult. I take the risk in all. 



In five years 550,000 people have accepted this 

 offer; and 39 in each 40 paid. They paid be- 

 cause they were cured, for no druggist accepts 

 a penny otherwise. The decision is left with you. 



Note that if my Restorative cures, the cost is a 

 trifle. If it fails, it is free. Can you neglect 

 such an offer when 39 out of 40 who write me are 

 cured ? 



Simply state which book 

 you want, and address

Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one
