SUBSCRIPTION TERMS « THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
From August 7 to September 30, 1897. 
W E want a big grist of new subscriptions now for the rest of this year. We want you to help get them. We are going to give you the biggest inducements 
that have ever been offered by The Rural New-Yorker or any other responsible paper. We will send the paper every week for the rest of this year for 
25 cents. We want every intelligent farmer in the land to have this opportunity to judge of its merits for himself. For your share in helping us 
get them, we make the following terms : First you will keep 10 cents 
and send us 15 cents with each subscription. Then September 30, pre¬ 
miums will be awarded as follows: If the largest club exceed 500 
names, the premiums will be a 860 Bicycle and 850 check. If the second 
largest club exceed 500 names, the premiums will be a 860 Bicycle and 
840 check. If the third largest club exceed 500 names, the premiums 
will be a 860 Bicycle and 830 check. Then 8100 in cash will be divided 
among the 10 largest clubs in proportion to the number of names in 
each. But if no club exceed 500 names, then the largest club-raiser 
will receive his choice of a 860 Bicycle or 850 in cash, and the extra 8100 
cash will be divided among the 10 next largest clubs as before. The 
clubs will be reckoned on the basis of cne for each order for the rest of 
this year, and one six-months’ subscription will count two, and yearlies 
will count four. The cut of the Bicycle is given herewith. It is war¬ 
ranted in every way, and there is no better wheel on the market at any 
price. We will guarantee it to give perfect satisfaction. You may have 
choice of Lady’s or Gentleman’s wheel. We hope to see a lady carry 
off one of them. 
Now here is a sure chance to make some nice money. The 10 cents 
commission will pay your way or more, and the premiums will be clear 
profit. Our experience in the past has been that the club-raisers get 
back all the money they send us for trial subscriptions, and the , 
premium-winners usually get back more. We can afford to do this 
simply because a large percentage of the best farmers will renew next year and for years to come, after they once get acquainted with the paper. 
This promises to be a good year for farmers, and you can get subscriptions easier than for the last three or four years. You ought to have one of those 
Bicycles and a check for 850, or 840, or 830, or, at least, a big slice of that 8100 cash. Every extra name increases your proportion of it Let us hear 
from you, and we will send you supplies and samples. THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, NEW YORK.

The drowning of a woman is a shudder- 
some sight. Yet it is swift and compara¬ 
tively painless, and blissful, compared to the 
pain and agony suffered for many years by 
many thousands of Women. Most of the 
suffering endured by women may be traced 
to one great, aggravating set of disorders. 
The woman who does not take proper care 
of the organs distinctly feminine is sure to 
be sickly, nervous, fretful, and racked with 
pain. She is unfitted for wifehood and 
motherhood. Every woman owes it to her¬ 
self to be strong and healthy in a womanly 
way. She may insure this if she will use 
the proper remedy. 
The greatest of all medicines for weak 
and suffering women is Dr. Pierce’s Favor¬ 
ite Prescription. It acts directly upon the 
delicate organs that make wifehood and 
motherhood possible. It makes them 
healthy and vigorous. It cures all weak¬ 
ness and disease. It allays inflammation, 
soothes pain and stops weakening drains. 
The nerves become steady, and calm, and 
health resumes its natural sway throughout 
the system. It prepares for wifehood and 
motherhood. Over 90,000 women have tes¬ 
tified to its marvelous virtues and all good 
druggists sell it 
Ignorance of her own physical nature is re¬ 
sponsible for a great deal of the pain and suf¬ 
fering that woman undergoes. Dr. Pierce’s 
Common Sense Medical Adviser is the best 
medical book for the home. It is now on 
the bookshelves of over a million American 
households. Several chapters of the book are 
devoted to the diseases and weaknesses of the 
organs distinctly feminine. Every woman should 
read it It contains over 1,000 pages. Any one 
may obtain a paper - covered copy, absolutely 
mss, by sending *1 one-cent stamps to cover the 
cost of mailing only, to World'a Dispensary Med- 
kal Association. Buffalo, N. Y. If a handsome,
