RATIONAL TREATMENT OF DISEASE. 



The rational treatment of disease is based 

 on the use of powerful but harmless anti- 

 septics ; that is, remedies which destroy 

 germs without injuring the patient. 



Trial and test through ' 15 years have 

 proven that Hydrozone and Glycozone are 

 the only remedies to which this theory is 

 entirely applicable. 



Hydrozone is recognized by leading phys- 

 icians as the most powerful bactericide 

 known. 



Experiments made by bacteriologists have 

 proven beyond doubt that Hydrozone does 

 not injure nor destroy healthy tissues ; that 

 it immediately destroys microbes; that 

 when taken internally its effect on the gen- 

 eral health is entirely harmless ; and that it 

 stimulates the building of new, healthy 

 tissues. 



In order to prove the correctness of these 

 statements, Prof. Charles Marchand, at 57- 

 K Prince street, New York, will send you, 

 free, trial bottles of Hydrozone and Glyco- 

 zone, on receipt of 35 cents to prepay ex- 

 pressage. On request he will send you a 

 pamphlet containing convincing evidence of 

 the results obtained by others, and full in- 

 structions in the use of these valuable rem- 

 edies that no one should be without. 



THE FARTHEST POINT SOUTH. 



The completion of the St. Louis, Browns- 

 ville and Mexico railway has opened a new 

 hunting country in Southern Texas along 

 the Gulf coast between Corpus Christi and 

 Brownsville. Deer, peccaries, bear, wild 

 ducks, geese, quails, turkeys and plover are 

 said to be abundant in that region, while 

 the winter weather there is like September 

 or October in the North. 



Appreciating the attractiveness of their 

 territory in this respect, the officers of the 

 St. L., B. & M. Ry. have obtained recog- 

 nition for Brownsville as a winter tourist 

 point, which gives sportsmen the advantage 

 of much lower rates than they could other- 

 wise get. Heretofore Corpus Christi has 

 claimed to be the farthest point South in 

 the United States to which these rates ap- 

 plied. The recognition of Brownsville, the 

 Southernmost point in Uncle Sam's domain 

 and 150 miles South of Corpus Christi an- 

 nihilates this preference and at the same 

 time opens the portals of a new found 

 sportsmen's paradise. 



The winter tourist rates apply from in- 

 terstate points during the fall and winter 

 months. 



films, etc., did not realize that he was at 

 the same time catering to the wants of 

 shooters ; but he was, all the same. These 

 Push Pins are the neatest and handiest con- 

 trivance I have ever seen for attaching 

 paper targets to a target frame, a tree, a 

 fence or wherever else you may wish to put 

 one. The Push Pins are made of glass, 

 with a fine sharp steel point moul-ded in. 

 There is a good, comfortable handle to each 

 pin, by which you can easily drive the pin 

 into even hard wood, and you can readily 

 pull it out again when you wish to take the 

 target down. 



These Push Pins are made by the East- 

 man Kodak Co., Rochester, N. Y., and re- 

 tail at 20 cents a dozen. If you will get 

 a dozen of them you will find them exceed- 

 ingly useful, not only in target shooting but 

 in the dark room, in case you are a photog- 

 rapher, and in many other ways. In order- 

 ing please mention Recreation.

Dear Sirs, I have been reading some 

 articles in Recreation as to the work done 

 by your shells, and wish to call your at- 

 tention to a case coming under my own 

 observation while in Evans, Ga., a little 

 town a few miles away, and, by the way, 

 a place where smokeless shells had never 

 been sold. Having a few samples with me, 

 I gave one to a merchant of the place and 

 asked him to make a test of it. Our 

 target, placed about 25 or 30 yards across 

 the main road, was the head of a mackerel 

 barrel, made of oak. The gun used was 

 a 10 bore and the shell 12 gauge, chilled 

 shot. To our astonishtnent, after picking 

 the shot from the target, they were, in 

 every instance, in perfect condition. This 

 result caused the merchant to place a 

 sample order for 1,000 shells. Your Robin 

 Hood shells evidently are winners, and our 

 concern will do our best in placing them 

 before the public.

The Northwestern School of Taxidermy, 

 Omaha, Nebraska, is worthy the support of 

 all sportsmen. By taking the mail course 

 from this school anyone will become pro- 

 ficient in taxidermy, thus being able to 

 mount and preserve birds, animals, and 

 other trophies that may be legitimately se- 

 cured in hunting. Hundreds of sportsmen 

 are now doing their own taxidermy, and it 

 seems a most desirable accomplishment to 

 lovers of outdoor sports. The school an- 

 nounces in its ad that it will send its illus- 

 trated circular free to readers of Recrea-
