It should be read by every parent, teacher, and public school officer in this or any other country.

These Stains have been Largely and Successfully used during the past few seasons.
Owing to the strange PRESERVATIVE POWER of the Creosote, wood treated with this Stain cannot decay but simply wears away from the force of the weather.
The Stain in weathering does not become shabby like paint; but the surfaces assume weather beaten grays, very soft and harmonious, and varying slightly according to the original hue. The Stain may be renewed at any time with little trouble or expense, as the natural hues which nature gives in combination with the stain are allowed to stay.
Houses treated with these Stains may be seen at almost any of the seaside and suburban resorts of NEW ENGLAND, and on the NEW JERSEY and LONG ISLAND COASTS.
This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the STOMACH, LIVER, KIDNEYS and BLADDER.

The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches.
The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial.

Messrs. HOWARD BROS.,
Dear Sirs,—"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its properties are characteristic, and as clinically trustworthy as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."

The above illustration, especially prepared by Harper and Brothers for George P. Lathrop's article on "Literary and Social Life in Boston," that appeared in Harper's Monthly Magazine for February, is a good representation of the outward appearance of the quaint and picturesque old building standing on the corner of Washington and School Streets.
Famous as the "Corner Store" is as an old landmark, it is justly more famous as the intellectual birthplace of many of the best known works in American literature, the firm of Ticknor & Fields—whose publishing foresight and enterprise have imperishably connected their names with American authors—having occupied it during one of the most brilliant chapters of American literary history.
Under the energetic auspices of Cupples, Upham & Co., it has become one of the most complete retail book establishments in the country, and so popular a resort that all Boston may with a little exaggeration be said to pass through it in a day. To every stranger it is, from its present literary attractiveness, a place not to be overlooked. The literary men of Boston make it their lounging-place and chief rendezvous. To stroll into the "Old Corner" for a chat, a glimpse at the last new book and magazine, is with them a daily duty, as it is with the Bostonian generally. It is a popular shopping-place with ladies, who patronize its church department for works of devotion, prayer books, hymnals, and Bibles. The reason of the extensive patronage which the establishment receives from all classes of readers is due to its admirable department system. It has a department for medical, scientific, and agricultural works; another for maps, globes, and guide books; another for theological literature; another for books in fine bindings, illustrated works, etc; another for sporting and yachting books, and out-door literature generally; one for juvenile books; another for English books, as well as one for American miscellaneous works; and, lastly, special counters for newspapers, periodicals, and novels. It is seldom without the last "new thing" in English, French, or American literature.
The firm does an extensive importing business, and pays special attention to the supplying of Town Libraries and Clubs.
