Firother subscribers: We have a good county paper, ana i would be delighted to see every old subscribei send in the name of a new subscriber with the cash. And.

Eight thousand manuscripts were received by The Ladies Uome Journal during the year just clos-1 ed. Each was given a careful reading, but out of the entire nutnI ' her only eighty were found worthy of publication The manuscript bureau of The Ladies Home Journal is operated at a large expense, but the hope of discovering new writers or some aspirants with undeveloped talent warrants the outlay. It can be seen that the articles secured by such a careful winnowing process brings the cost of each up to and above j the remuneration paid our best! writers. ' These facts bring refutation to the oft-repeated but none the less erroneous assertion that only well known writers of established literary reputation are able to find a place tor their work in the magazines. Exactly the contrary is true. The Ladies Home Journal, through the manuscripts considered^ three or lour new writers of excellent merit and great promise, and this "find" its editor regards as fully warranting the large outlay of maintaining an expensive bureau for reading all the manuscripts submitted.

It corrects Inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra* ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won* ll cures of the most distressing cases. . you need a medicine you should nave the * best.
