V Ax v a •4 THE AIKEN, 9. C.. JAN. 9, 189f _ Rohu* Charmirf; Old HiKikK. The Scientific American. Among the most acceptable and infproviug preaenta that may be made at thia aeaHon of the year ia the aet of Miaa Auhtin’a works published by the Frederick A. Ktokea Company of Mew York. Theae charming books are published in moat convenient size, with good clear print, and in strong ami pretty bindings. The five novela, “Emma,” "Pride and Prejudice,” “Mansfield Park,” "Permasion,” and “Sense and Sensibility,” are all so interesting that it ia difficult to com mend one in preference to the others. It is generally conceded that the characters of Emma and Elizabeth Bennett are ao well drawn that they have been seldom equalled aa heroines In romances. Miss Austin’s sense of humor is ao delicate, and her delineations of char acter are ao true, that her writings are among the few that are always fresh and have survived her own day. Rec ognized aa among the standard Eng lish classics, they are excellent and most improving reading for young people. The price is 15.00 far the aet of five. PRONOUNCED HOPELESS YET SAVED From a letter written by Mrs. E. Hurd of Groton, 8. D., we quote: “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my Lungs, cough aet In and finally terminated in Consump tion. Four doctoi s gave me up saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not sta3' with my friend on earth, I would meet my absent one above. My husband was advised to S et Dr. King’s New Discovery for 'onsumption, Coughs, and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bot tles; it has cured me and thank God I am now a well aud hearty woman.” Trial bottles free at W. J. Platt’s Drugstore, regular size, 50c and $1.00.
