HARPER'S BAZAR.

ILLUSTRATED.

Harper's Bazar is the only paper in the world that combines the choicest literature and the finest art illustrations with the latest fashions and methods of household adornment. Its weekly illustrations and descriptions of the newest Paris and New York styles, with its useful pattern-sheet supplements and cut patterns, by enabling ladies to be their own dressmakers, save many times the cost of subscription. Its papers on cooking, the management of servants, and housekeeping in its various details are eminently practical. Much attention is given to the interesting topic of social etiquette, and its illustrations of art needlework are acknowledged to be unequalled. Its literary merit is of the highest excellence, and the unique character of its humorous pictures has won for it the name of the American Punch.

ANTIQUE

Views of Ye Town of Boston.

By JAMES H. STARK.

This is the title of one of the most valuable contributions to the HISTORY of BOSTON that has been made in many years. It embraces a series of upwards of ONE HUNDRED VIEWS of OLD BOSTON, that have been gathered from private and public collections, and most faithfully reproduced by the Photo-Electrotype Engraving Company's process of Boston.

The Book is handsomely BOUND IN CLOTH. On the front cover is a view of the Old State House, embossed in gold; on the back cover is a veneer made from the Old Elm, on which is printed a view of the old tree, and an autograph letter from Mayor Cobb (who was mayor of Boston at the time of the destruction of the tree), certifying to its authenticity. It is a book of 400 pages, imperial octavo, and a limited number is offered at

$6.00 PER COPY.

STARK'S ILLUSTRATED

BERMUDA GUIDE.

The Bermuda Islands are coming more prominently before the public each season, as a health resort and winter watering place. Although it is but sixty-five hours' sail from New York to these coral islands, yet they are strangely unfamiliar to most well informed Americans. Speaking our own language, having the same origin, with manners and customs prevalent in New England a century ago, it is only now that these islands and their inhabitants have attracted much attention and led the public to inquire concerning them.

It is to satisfy this demand and also to bring to the notice of those unacquainted with the beauties of these semi-tropical islands that the writer has been led to issue this work, which is the first illustrated guide-book and history of Bermuda yet published. The book contains two hundred pages, and is embellished with sixteen photo-mechanical prints made by a new process from negatives (taken by the author during the past winter) of the finest scenery in Bermuda. This is a new feature in the matter of book illustrations, and it makes the work both unique and valuable.

NOTICES.

Invaluable to the student of American History.—Baltimore (Md.) Herald.

Deserves a welcome in every school district, as well as in every historical library in the land.—Army and Navy Journal.

In our opinion, General Carrington's work is an authority, showing great labor and careful study, and it should become a national test-book, and find a place in all public and private libraries.—Indianapolis (Ind.) Herald.

Each map is accompanied with a statement of the generals and number of men engaged on both sides, to which is appended the reason for such battle or engagement, with remarks by the author, who is excellent authority in military matters.—The Educator (New Haven, Ct.).

A valuable compilation from the author's large work, and cannot fail to make a more lasting impression upon the reader's mind than could be derived from the perusal of many volumes of history.—N.Y. Herald.

Each map is accompanied by a page of text, arranged upon a compact and original system, so as to present a singularly clear view of the history and significance of the engagement in question, the names of the chief and subordinate commanders, the forces, nominal and available, the losses on each side, and the incidents of the battle.—N.Y.

ADVERTISEMENT.

The editors who have missed any numbers of the BAY STATE MONTHLY, and who desire to preserve a complete file of the publication for reference, will kindly notify the publishers of the BAY STATE MONTHLY of the numbers which they lack, and as soon as possible the missing numbers shall be supplied.

It is needless to remind the gentlemen of the newspaper fraternity how dependent is such a publication as the BAY STATE MONTHLY upon their good will and favor.

What we need, to fully carry out the idea of giving to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a Magazine of biography, history and, literature devoted especially to the State, is the hearty support of readers and advertisers. We want an increased subscription list so that every hamlet in the State will be supplied with the magazine.

We need notices that will increase our subscription list.

EMPHATIC GUARANTEES.

WHICH ARE JUSTIFIED BY AN EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC EXPERIENCE.

TO THE PUBLIC.—Greeting: As the conductors of the largest business of the kind in the world, (and therefore having an extraordinary experience), we feel justified in making the following statements:

OUR THEORY PROVED.

First.—We have held from the beginning that most of the common ailments are caused primarily by kidney and liver disorders, not primarily by bad blood; that bad blood is caused by temporary or chronic derangement of the kidneys and liver, and that by restoring these blood-purifying organs to health, we could cure most of the common ailments. Other practitioners, however, have held that extreme kidney and liver disorders were incurable. We, have proved to the contrary in thousands of cases.

SAFEGUARDS AGAINST EPIDEMICS.

SECOND.—The kidneys and liver are the sewers of the system, and unless they are kept in perfect working order no amount of public sanitation can prevent epidemics raging among the people. The prudent man, in the winter and spring, will fortify the system against an such possibility. Dr. Koch, the celebrated German scientist and physician, says, for instance, that cholera will have but little effect among those who keep the digestive organs and the kidneys and liver in healthful operation. Warner's SAFE Remedies are the best scientific curatives and preventives, and should be used now as a safeguard against any future scourge.

SCIENTIFIC SPECIFICS.

THIRD.—We do not cure every known disease from one bottle, for Warner's SAFE Remedies number seven scientific specifics, which have been put upon the market, only in obedience to strong public demand.

RECOGNIZED STANDARDS.

FOURTH.—Warner's SAFE Remedies, spite of all opposition, have won the favor of the profession as well as the masses, and are recognized as the leading standard medical preparations.

STRONG GUARANTEES.

FIFTH.—After six years of unequaled experience, we can give these unqualified guarantees:

GUARANTEE I.—Pure and Harmless. That Warner's SAFE Remedies are pure and harmless.

GUARANTEE II.—Testimonials Genuine. That the Testimonials used by us, so far as we know, are bona fide, with a forfeit of $5,000 for proof to the contrary.

GUARANTEE III.—Curative Effects Permanent. That Warner's SAFE Remedies are not merely temporary, but permanent, in their curative effects and will sustain every claim, if used sufficiently and as directed.

PROOFS OF PERMANENCY.

SIXTH.—Special inquiry among hundreds of our oldest patients results in unequivocal testimony that the cures wrought six, five, four, and three years ago, were permanent. And most of these patients were pronounced incurable when they began Warner's SAFE Remedies.

Read a few of thousands of testimonials.

B.F. LARRABEE, 42 Chester Square, Boston, Mass., in 1879 was pronounced incurable of acute Bright's Disease. From 1880 to 1882 he used over 200 bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, and October 6th, 1884, he said that his cure was as permanent as surprising.

REV. S.P. SMITH, Marblehead, Mass., after years of suffering from Bilious attacks and Gall Stones, began Warner's Safe Cure in 1882 and in June, 1884, reported that he had had no trouble since.

HON. N.A. PLYMPTON, Worcester, Mass., in 1880 suffered frightful tortures from Gravel of the Kidneys; failing of relief otherwise he used a few bottles of Warner's Safe Cure and recently wrote: "It perfectly cured me, four years ago."

L. Dow, Esq., 204 Columbus Ave., Boston, Mass., was cured of Kidney disorder by Warner's Safe Cure in 1882, and November 28th, 1884, he wrote that the cure was permanent.

MRS. S.A. CLARK, East Granby, Conn., suffered for over ten years from Constitutional and Sex disorders of the worst kind. In November, 1884, she wrote: "Warner's Safe Cure cured me four years ago and has kept me well to this day."

SEVENTH.—It is a source of great gratification to us that Warner's Safe Remedies have been permanently beneficial to so many sufferers. This permanency of power over disease gives them the most exalted rank, and in this particular they have no equal. H.H. WARNER & CO. Rochester, N.Y., Jan. 1, 1885.

HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE,

AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The serial and short stories in HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE have all the dramatic interest that juvenile fiction can possess, while they are wholly free from what is pernicious or vulgarly sensational.

Illustrated papers on athletic sports, games, and pastimes give full information on these subjects. There is nothing cheap about it but its price.

An epitome of everything that is attractive and desirable in juvenile literature.—Boston Courier.

A weekly feast of good things to the boys and girls in every family which it visits.—Brooklyn Union.

It is wonderful in its wealth of pictures, information, and interest.—Christian Advocate, N.Y.

These securities are negotiated by an incorporated company of large experience and strong financial standing. Their charter is perpetual, so the care of the loans will not be thrown upon the investor, as it would be in case of the death, change of business or location of an individual or firm negotiating the same. They combine the loan, tax, legal, and insurance departments, making this an exclusive business; personally investigating every application and guaranteeing every loan, thereby protecting the investor by a double security.
