Presented to every reader of this Paper 
One of the most superb pamphlets that has

Spectator Publ shing Company, and is entitled 
Health Papers, by Dr. K. C. Fiower. The 
pamphlet is richly gotten up, being printed 
in deep blue ink, bound in heavy plate paper, 
the covers printed in red and gold. The con¬ 
tents are well worthy the rich setting, con¬ 
taining as they do a number of choice, practi¬ 
cal and thoughtful papers on health, as the 
following paitial table of contents indicates; 
I. The Value of Sleep. 
II. Eating for Health. 
III. Diet and Treatment of Consumption. 
IV. Diphtheria and Colds. 
V. Extracts from Ethical Essays, etc., 
etc., etc. 
The publishers’ price for this pamphlet has 
been fifty cents, but for the next few weeks 
they will mail it free to every reader of this 
paper who encloses two cents for postage.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
To C. F. M.: - 
Yes, it is hard to decide what to buy for a present, 
but we think $1.25 mailed to ALLING & LODGE, 
Madison, Indiana, for one of their fine Razors, 
or one of their $1.00 four blade Buck Handle Pocket 
Knives would be just what you want, as the quality 
of their goods is unsurpassed, and we know them 
to be reliable. Or they will send you, postage paid, 
a pair of fine Breakfast Carvers, Stag Handles, 
for $2.50, or a pair of Ladies’ Scissors for 75 cents, or 
their large Shears at $1.00. We suggest you send 
them an order quickly, or their stock may not 
hold out.
