WHAT IS SAID OF ihg Century Magazine. “The Cextcrt has the effect of greater luxury in •diling than any of the rival magazines.”— -The N. Y. Nation and Evenine/ Post, jlJec,. G, 1883. (‘From the very start this magazine baldly took up a forward position, and it has boldly and splendidly maintained its place. With each number has been - clearly manifested its aggressive and intelligent enterprise, and far reaching have been the results. During the past year, Ths Ckxtury h,as outdone its former work in almost every one of its departments. Sonic of its engravings ’have been amazingly tine; several of those in tha December nutliber are particularly so —the portrait ot Peter Cooper especially. And its rep utatijjn has been, to our mind, as much widened by its improved excellence on the literary side as on the artistic. The time was when the illustrations were first and the letterress second, if not thiad, in importance; but that time, for a year or more, has been pAssing surely away,”— AT. Y.

The following will be, some of the leading contributors: Louisa M. Alcott, T. T. Trowbridge.

M. B. ALTER, Treasurer. A Marvelous Story • TOLD IK TWO LETTERS. FROM THE SON: “ Gentlemen: Jly father resides at Glover, Vt. He has been a great sufferer from .Scrofula, and the inclosed letter Will toll j ouwbat a marvelous eiloct Ayer's Sarsaparilla has bad in bis case. I think bis blood must have contained the humor for at least tcu years; but it did not show, except in tho forar of a scrofulous sore ou the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which appears! at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure you he was terribly nOticted. and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine. How, Ihero aro few men pf his age who enjoy as good health as he has. 1 could easily name fifty persona who would testify to the facts in his case. Yours truiy, W. 11. Phillips.” FROM THE FATHER i HHSi duty for me to state td you the benefit I liave derived from the use Of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous soros. Tho humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I mo-bed. My sufferings were, great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SA ns At* A fill A in April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores havo all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect —being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 year? of age. Many inquiro what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I liave hero tried to toll you, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21,1582. Yours gratefully, HiiiAit Phillips.” Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysipelas, JSczema, Ringworm, Blotches, Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions of the Skin. It clears the blood of all impurities, aids digestion; stimulates the action of the bowels, and thus restores Vitality and strengthens the whole system. PREPARED BY Dr. J.C Ayer&Co., Lov/el!, Mass.
