The Gothic Free 
Fruit Box, 
For marketing 
Strawberries, Easp- 
berries, Blackberries, 
Grapes, and all small 
fruiis. 
lb-ice, $10 per 1000, 
- “for eitlier size, quarts 
or pints. Sample Boxes of 100 sent upon receipt of $2.50. 
This Box was nnanimonsly commended at the meeting of 
the “Farmers’ Club” of the American Institute, held at 
their Kooms, April 2d, 1867, and is tlius recommended by 
all the prominent Hotel keepers of Hew York, Philadelphia, 
Baltimore, and Washington. 
This is to certify. That we consider the Gothic Fehtt- 
Box the best fruit package yet offered to the public; com¬ 
bining, as it does, to a greater degree than any otlier tliat 
we have examined, perfect ventilation, convenience, as well 
as compactness and beauty of form, and clieapness. 
AVe would, therefore, recommend its use to all fruit grow¬ 
ers and dealers, as a matter of economy and self-interest. 
Influenced ourselves by such motives, wo propose to give 
Hic preference hereafter, in our purchases of fruits, to those 
dealers who pack them in the Gothic Fruit-Box.

BY 
ROBERT STEWART, M. D., V. S. 
One figeni: a Veterinary Surgeon, writes; “I have ex- 
amiued the book carefully, and it is e-^erytbing I coiVid wish 
bend me on inore book.s immediately, for I can hardly keep 
the sample I have got. ’ Another says: “One gentleman 
delivering bis book, alter examining it, handed me 
$i).00 and said I need not give him back any change as 
i.*T P’Y'? woz-th more than $5.00.” Another writes • 
I think It the best book published on the Horse, in this 
'’i®®? tioctoring horses, for my neighbors,

cliance to try Dr. Stewart’s remedy, and I 
^ never bad an animal recover so quickly 
under any other treatment. Another repiort reads; “ The
