Beware or Imitations. MASSACHUSETTS The age in which we live demands progress in the means and in the methods by which young men prepare for the duties of life. The course of study at the State College is not the result of tra- ditional methods. It recognizes the fact that the sciences are now applied in every department of practical affairs in a larger degree than ever before. The course makes due provision for the teaching of Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Geology and Mathematics. Since the dead languages ■ are not required, the time devoted to the study of Latin and Greek in many of our higher institutions, can here be given to other studies. The study of the English Language and Literature, and of Modern Languages, and the frequent exercises in Elocution, furnish excellent opportunities for developing the powers of expression. The study of the Modern Languages also enables the graduate of the State College to avail himself of the latest scientific results reached by French and German scholars. But the course is not limited to the Natural Sciences, Languages, and Mathematics. History, Political Economy, and the Science of Government, with special relations to the government of the United States, receive large attention. Nor are those studies in any sense neglected that are adapted to give one a knowledge of himself and of his highest interests. Mental and Moral Science constitute an important part of the cur- riculum. While these ample opportunities are offered at this College to every young man, whatever may be his vocation, the student who wishes to engage in any department of field work, whether farming, market gardening, the care of hot-houses, or any other kindred em- ployment, here finds special aids. It is the aim of the College to teach every science, as far as may be, in its relations to Agriculture, and to give all the technical instruc- tion in this department that our facilities allow. The ample grounds of the College, comprising nearly four hundred acres, furnish wide and increasing means of illustration and practical teaching. Physical training and discipline are promoted by the instruction and training in the military department, under an officer who is a graduate of West Point. In brief, the object of the course is to form the true man and the effective workman. The expenses are moderate that the advantages of the State College may be enjoyed by a large number of young men.

However, we shall strive to fill our place in the unbroken line of those who, since the first Junior Class, have toiled and suffered in like manner, wring- ing from their inmost souls those wondrous productions only to hear the heartless remark — stale jokes. Thus anticipating our fate, we would only ask that those errors which may occur be kindly overlooked, and, furthermore, that a suffi- cient amount of pity be felt to induce every one to invest in a full stock of this number of the Index. Dviring the past year President Greenough has proved himself capable of not only governing the College, but also of raising its standard both in an intellectual and moral way. Although the ex- pulsion of men is no doubt an unpleasant duty and frequently excites strong feeling, it is often no more than just to those remaining, and when judiciously done must elevate the tone of the College. It is at the same time a serious matter, and should have good and definite reasons. The various unpleasant episodes and apparently foolish acts which have occurred all round the past year, and which have caused no end of trouble and ill-feeling, are, we hope, things of the past which may never occur aarain. 11 Perhaps the greatest misfortune which has befallen the College since the death of President Chadbourne is the resignation of our highly esteemed Professor of Mathematics. During his short stay with us, Professor Basset has gained such an unbounded respect, admiration, and affection from every student as lies in the power of but few men to command. His patience and kindness, his untiring- efforts in our behalf, have made him a model which all must desire to follow. In leaving his professorship here to pursue higher studies, we can assure him that he will always hold a place in the heart of every man who was in his classes, and that each and every one wishes him the best of success. Our best wish for our College shall ever be that he may sometime return to fill an honored place among the fac- ulty of this institution. We shall miss Professor Goodell, who has been called by a large vote to represent this district in the Legislature. Beside his usual duties, which are always so thoroughly performed. Professor Goodell has attended to the purchasing and recataloguing of the books of our rapidly increasing library. Professor Goessman ' s department, containing as it does the over- sight of both the College and Experiment Station work, has been steadily growing until he has finall} ' been obliged to relinquish the recitation of the lower classes to Professor H. E. Stockbridge, attend- ing only to the upjDer classes and work of the laboratory and station. Besides Professor Stockbridge, whom the College has been fortu- nate in securing and we hope may succeed in retaining, we have during the past year received instruction in Physiology from Dr. Tuckerman of ' 78, and in Mathematics, Professor C. D. Warner of ' 81 has assumed the chair left vacant by Professor Basset. To all these we extend a hearty welcome, and hope their connection with the College may be a long and pleasant one. Of Dr. Miles there is need of much being said which it does not become us to say. That his services were secured by our late Presi- dent Chadbourne with the intention that he should hold a prominent place in the direction of the Farm and Experiment Station was a well-known fact. That he is most eminently fitted to fill such a place has been thoroughly proven to all unprejudiced minds. That it is the one place wherein his vast stores of knowledge and experience 13 have the least chance to show to the world his wonderful power of applying the theoretical to the practical is a matter to be most sin- cerely regretted by all who wish to see a strong union between the science and the practice of Agriculture. In addition to his regular duties as Professor of Agriculture and Instructor in Biology, Dr. Miles has this year instituted a very interesting series of experiments, involving extensive and accurate measurements of every man in Col- lege; Dr. Tuckerman assists Dr. Miles in this work. The Horticultural department is now better supplied with assist- ants and workmen than formerly, and is in a very prosperous con- dition. It is blessed this year with a handsome new barn and store- house. The President ' s house, so beautifully situated on the hill east of the Plant house, is an ornament to the place and affords a suitable residence for our President, at a convenient distance from the Col- lege. The general condition of affairs is excejDtionally favorable to the rapid advancement of the College. Ample means are now afforded here for a thorough scientific education and college training at a moderate expense, and we feel confident that, was the exact condi- tion of this institution more thoroughly understood, there would be more to enter each year than the College could accommodate. We believe that a great change has been made within the last few years. Although all useless class-work has been abolished and only that which is most useful retained, yet the agricultural part of our train- ing is under such a thorough and skillful Professor that it is now one of the most instructive and popular branches in the course, as the experiences of the past year have shown conclusively. The Military department has been restricted to three drills a week, but it still seems too much to require of each Senior Class that it be obliged to spend about one-third of its time on military studies and drills. The last year of the course is far too valuable for literary or scientific work to be thrown away upon military. Athletic sports have been well sustained during the past year; our base-ball and foot-ball teams have been quite strong, although from lack of time we have played but few games. We can also boast of good tennis players and riders of the wheel. Our lack of a properly 13 arranged Gymnasium is strongly felt, especially during the winter term. There are many other matters which might be commented upon either to praise or to criticise, but we will forbear. The new Chapel is too large a subject to be treated of in as short a manner as would be necessary if undertaken here; its description will be treated of further on. Suffice it to say that it is a source of great rejoicing to see such a fine structure really making its appearance where it is so greatly needed and where it will be so thoroughly appreciated. It will be a fit place for the library, which, through the liberality of the Alumni and friends of the College, has obtained such a good start. The chapel building will furthermore be an honor to the place, and we hope that the end has come to the erection of cheap buildings on the College grounds, and that in future all may be substantial structures worthy of the State which builds them. Thus it is with great rejoicing that we record the progress of events. Thus, as in all progress, something must be left behind in the onward rush, and we assure you, dear reader, that it is with the greatest possible pleasure that the ' 86 Index Board drop out of the line and fall back into the regular duties of our course. In leav- ing this volume to your tender mercies, we would once more pray you to tread lightly above our ashes. 14 ' VCC-Z o t e 1884-5. 15 BDARH DF TRUSTEES. e :r. MEMBERS EX-OFFICIIS.

We cannot but regret that the pleasantest period of our lives is fast drawing to a close. Soon we must enter upon life ' s turbulent sea to battle with the waves. But with the moulding our honored professors have given to our intellects, the spirit of integrity that has been graven upon our characters, and the energy and push which the class has never lacked, life ' s battles will be ours. The storm waves may beat, but with a steady hand at the helm the ship of state will glide smoothly o ' er the waves. We would take occasion to thank our instrvictors for the ardor and enthusiasm shown in guarding our interests, and in bestowing upon us their fruitful store of knowledge. We shall feel assured that their best wishes accompany us where ' er life ' s path we tread. We have at last reached the goal which three years ago seemed so distant, and the pressure of Senior life rests upon our shoulders. Let us sustain it with dignity, and, profiting by the mistakes of others, strive to hold that respect which our situation should command. Let it never be said, The College lacks a Senior Class, while ' 85 remains within these walls. Forgetting the follies of the past, we should push forward with undaunted courage, improving to the best of our abilities the few short months that remain. The new Chapel, small though it be, yet grand in its design, promises to fill a link which has long been open, and one for which the College has waited with patient endurance, to have closed. It is 34 with pleasure that we look forward to the time when our friends and neigh boi ' s can gather with the College in its weekly worship and feel that they are enjoying the same privileges furnished in the best sanctuaries. Our genial Professor of Mathematics, who has but recently left us, carries with him the highest esteem of the whole College. Never shall we forget the noble truths he endeavored to instill into our minds, or the still nobler soul from whence they flowed. Whatever his vocation, or where ' er on life ' s strand his banner may wave, he can rest assured that the best wishes of his former pupils accompany him. And now, in closing, we would say to our younger friends, do not feel that gaining k nowledge from books is all that can be accom- plished in a college course. The mental and physical discipline, the experiences passed through by our contact with those around us, and with the world at large, cannot be too highly valued. The man imbued with sound and just principles, with integrity of character, and carrying within his breast a Christian heart, is what the world seeks to-day. Equip yourselves, then, for life ' s battles ! In the future, when active in the turmoil of life, you will look back with pleasure on the useful and happy days spent at your old College home. P.

' OR the third time the Class of ' 86 hands in her communi- cation to the Index, having attained the enviable position j 5 of Junior, with the still more enviable position of Senior only a step in advance. We have passed the second mile-stone of our course at College, and in less than two years we shall be launched into the world to earn for ourselves a name, and put in practice the training we have here received. We began the year with only three members, who entered in the fall of ' 82; yet enough men entered last year, so that the number of men in the class has not decreased very much. The Class of ' 86 has always taken a lively interest in sports; although small in numbers, yet she has in her ranks one-third of the foot-ball players, and four-ninths of the base-ball players; she also takes the lead in tennis, which has become quite popular during the last year. We look forward with pleasure to the years remaining us at Col- lege, and when we leave our College home, the remembrance of the happy years spent here will act as a stimulus for each one to do his duty, and thus become an honor to his class and to his Alma Mater.

We return from the long summer vacation, invigorated and ready for the year ' s v ork. In the year that is passed we think we have learned the art of applying ourselves to our tasks, and therefore we look forward with a great deal of pleasure to the studies of this year, and expect to reap great benefit therefrom, and hope that we may not only show ourselves wise fools, as the title of our class implies, but wise men also. We were very much disappointed in returning to College not to find a larger class entering, expecting to find it analogous to eighty- seven in numbers, but do not find it analogous in pluck and spirit. They are so timid that we take pity on the dear little freshies, knowing that they have not the protecting care of their dear mothers, and so are very careful not to bruise them in any way; yet we are on the lookout for some of the latent forces that may be found in their physiological units, and any day may make their appearance. Eighty-seven has of course carried everything before her thus far, namely, tug-of-war and cane rush; the former proved a very slim affair. 30 We welcome the new additions to the Faculty (though we miss our former Professor of Mathematics very much), and hope they may find a very pleasant and profitable residence with us. And now, class- mates, as we are settling down to the solid work of the year, let us do it well, so that we may feel that the second year of our course was not lost or trifled away. 81 .0 • — ss — ' i ' FRESHMAN CLASS.

Some of our class, however, have already decided to take up studies with the Sophomores. Perhaps some of us were homesick at first, but, if so, this feeling was soon overcome. Although we did well in the cane rush, numbers told against us, and the Sophs got the cane. On the 25th of September, some of the ' 87 men tried to stop our class-meeting by throwing into our midst burning chemicals (a trick which ' 86 so successfully practiced on them, and from whom they learned it), but ' 87 did not succeed. One or two of our numbers have lately been relieve ' d of a bath, and one or two of the Sophomores also. We think our lack of interest in out-door sports is made up in our studies. The class of ' 88 fully appreciate the favors the Juniors have shown us, and the points they have given us. 33 We understand the bill of fare ait the boarding-house has been improved this year, but, in our opinion, no harm would be done by a still greater improvement. Some of the class have proved that they can store up more pie and pudding in fifteen minutes than they can knowledge in two hours. The spring of ' 88 seems a great way off, but if the days and weeks fly past us as quickly in the future, as they have done in the short past, we shall be dignified Seniors before we can really comprehend it. This being our first communication to the Index, we hope any error will be overlooked, and believing that practice makes per- fect, we will try and do better in the future. 34 KE8IDENCE.

This occurred near the end of the winter term, and the practice in speak- ing afforded by the society was shown by the excellent declamations given by Messrs. Leary, ' 85; Wheeler, Ayres, Sanborn and Kinney, ' 86; and Shaughnessy, ' 87. Music was furnished by the Aggie Quintette, consisting of Messrs. Barber and Brooks, ' 85 ; Mackintosh and Wheeler, ' 86; and White, ' 87. This year a prize debate will occur at the end of the fall term, which promises to be of considerable interest. 50 Military Department OF THE ' ' . M % jv:C , i W M ii ?TT T m mn. 51 DRDANIZATIDN.

' ' -X ' T last the much needed library and chapel building is about to become a reality. In response to Prof. Goodell ' s earnest appeals at commencement in 1883, a committee was chosen by the Alumni to look the matter up and enlarge the library, which was at that time wholly inadequate to the wants of the students and agriculturists who will in time make it a center for investigation and research. President Greenough eagerly joined in the work, and through his efforts the Legislature appropriated $25,000 for a chapel building, the lower story of which should be used as a library. The corner-stone was laid November 6, 1884. As the weather was very cold and disagreeable the exercises accompanying it were held in the old chapel, where addresses were made by the Alumni and gentlemen interested, among them, Hon. C. L. Flint, O. B. Hadwin, Esq., and ex-President Stockbridge. Beneath the corner- stone were laid a copy of the original charter of the college, an ' 82 Index, which contains the pictures of the Presidents, a copy of the last Cycle, and several daily papers. The building will be of a simple Romanesque style of architecture, two stories in height, with a tower ninety-six feet high on the south- east corner. It is being constructed of Pelham granite, from the quarry owned by the college, and trimmed with brown sandstone. There is a gable on each side. The first story will be used for a library and reading-room, and the upper as a chapel. The whole will be finished in ash and hard pine. Much has been done already toward placing the books, numbering about twenty-seven hundred, in an available condition. Under Prof. Goodell ' s watchful eye, they have been re-catalogued this summer, and owing to the present accessibility three times as many books have been taken out this last term than during any other sinirle term. 68 M.

AND it came to pass in the first year of the reign of James the Green ' ite, 2. That a - certain of the elders had taught those who were sojourning at the temple of learning for the second year, 3. The uses of many cu- rious instruments, machines, and tools, with which they did much sorcery in dividing land; 4. Thus causing the young- er men who were ignorant of these practices, to greatly stare. 5. Now, near the tent of Levi the Bursarite (at whose 1 Some- times known as Austin. 2 In short, Soplio- 3 Common- ly called the Freshies. 4 Now a Father in Israel. 5 Bulletins sent on application to J. B. Lindsay. 6 The same as was stridden with fever at Lal e Pleasant. marriage feast music did so loudly swell) was a parcel of land 6. Which belongeth unto that Station which doth vast Experiments in the land of Aggie. 7. And it came to pass one day that the elder, which was learned in all sorcery, called unto him Sanborn, the Law- rencite, and Mackintosh, the Dedhamite, 8. And John, the Fowler- ite, and Kinney, the Lowel- ite; and George surnamed the Stony. 9. And lo, they were men of might and of goodly stat- ure and bold in all daring. 10. And he spake unto them, saying, Gird up your loins for, behold, ye have much hard labor before you, and take ye, each, one of these instruments. 11. And he straightway 69 giy eth unto each one some machine of magic. And he commanded them again, say- ing, 12. Go ye to a field near the house of Levi the Bur- sarite which doth belong to that Station which perform- eth wondrous researches in our land. 13. And when ye shall find it, deal ye with it in all manner as I have before taught you, and find ye the length thereof with the breadth also. 14. And when ye shall have performed this thing I will come unto you and see that ye have done all things even as I have commanded. 15. And they spat upon their hands and did lift their burdens everyone to his shoulder and departed unto the land of Samuel toward the tent of °Levi; 16. And when they had found the parcel of land of which the learned man had warned them, they did com- mence their magic art. 17. And lo, the day was hot and the labor heavy, but they halted not nor blas- phemed. 18. And when they had done in all things even as they had been commanded, they did gather up their in- struments of magic and sor- cery; 7 Also called the Dulcet- Voiced. 8 A cold- wave flag it doth also unfurl when the weather doth mod- erate. a For their burdens were heavy and might slip from their hands. 10 And it is ever said that they did see Levi kiss the sister of Samuel in his tent. n A won- derful thing in Aggie. 12 For the break- fast hour was long since passed. 13 This is doubted by some authori- ties. 14 For he had a big head and imme- diately mistrusteth where they have gone. 19. And when they had placed them together in a mass, they did sink upon the ground from %unger and thirst. 20. And when they were a little rested they com- muned one with another as to how they might get re- freshment, for they were sore an hungered. 21. And one said unto them, Lo, yonder is the garden of Samuel. Let us go there and eat. 22. But another saith, It is forbidden fruit and we may not touch it. But they heeded not his word. 23. And when he behold- eth they will not hearken unto him, he saith, Lo, me- thinks I will not delay lest I faint, but will share with them the dangers of the gar- den. 24. And he did run and overtake the brethren. 25.. And as they all came to the garden they entered softly therein and did eat and became much refreshed. 26. In the meantime com- eth the wise man and finding not the disciples goeth forth to find them. 27. And lo, he searcheth for them straight toward the garden of Samuel. 28. And when he findeth them he saith unto them, • Little Bo-Peep has lost her 70 sheep and knows just where to find them. 29. For lo, he was learned in ancient lore also. 30. And he looketh and beholdeth the garden to be full of fruit and goodly and he yieldeth to the Devil and picketh and eateth. 31. And when by chance Levi, the servant of Samuel, seeth the devastation of the garden of his master he rusheth forth like the wind, even like the chariot of Jehu rusheth he forth. 32. And when he is yet a long way off he calleth . aloud unto the learned scribe saying, 33. How is this that thou not only allow these young men to eat of the forbidden fruit but doth eat thereof thyself and bringeth great devastation ! 34. And when he ap- proacheth nearer he deliv- 15 Free translation of Homer. IS Behold, none are without sin. 17 But he could not be heard, owing to his dulcet voice. 18 Also written Tatty. 19 Even unto James the Green ' ite. 20 But the youth wish him back most heartily. 21 Long life to ' 86 ereth unto them exceeding rebuke and giveth them ' baos. 35. So that the learned scribe is very much ashamed and blusheth even to the roots of his mustache. 36. And he confesseth his transgression and depart- eth ashamed and the youth also. 37. But when Samuel heard of it he was exceed- ing wroth and goeth to the ' king and complaineth of the devastation of his gar- den. 38. And the king was an- gered against his servant the scribe. 39. And when the scribe had fulfilled the term of his office, lo, the king dismisseth him and driveth him away in anger. 40. But the youth remain in the kingdom of Aggie even to this day.

How dear to my heart are the haunts of old Aggie, As fond recollection presents them to view; The drill hall, the chapel, the temple, the campus. And every loved spot which my college days knew. And now far removed from the fair town of Amherst, I think with regret of the bright days of yore, And remember the school in the village below us, And e ' en the knee breeches the Intellects wore; The skin-fitting breeches, the old-fashioned breeches, . The primeval breeches the Intellects wore. 78 - - „ - — - i i-yfi-fi r , 79 ig sS y@i i6==S HIBTDRY QF THE CDLLEDE. Nov. 28. — Thanksgiving recess begins.

What we shall say will be carefully read by the compositor, proof-reader, and the editors of the Index, but beyond this point our thoughts will be undisturbed — by rude and disagreeable criticism. None ever read the Alumni contribution save those who are obliged to. It is overshadowed, buried, lost be- neath the excruciatingly funny and highly interesting matter with which the volume is otherwise replete. Contributors of previous years have left a well-worn path behind them, along which we must proceed with great caution to avoid a species of plagiarism. But none of them ever offered their contri- bution at a time when their congratulations to the college students and Alumni were more sincere or better grounded than at present. To-day there are signs giving hope and confidence to those familiar with the College history. Many of us remember its dark days all too well, and to such the present outlook is thrice welcome. The evidences of prosperity are many, but none is more promis- ing than the increased interest in the College expressed by the agri- cultural community. This means a better appreciation of the insti- tution, and then, inevitably, a better support. It is encoitt-aging to feel that men are willing to know something of us — that we are able to attract their attention. Once it was difficult to find a farmer out- side of those who had labored directly for the College who had any- thing like a correct idea of it, and, what was worse, they evinced no desire to learn. The College was never vigorously antagonized, but it has suffered through the apathy and indifference of the very class whose direct interests are involved in its success or failure. Even farmers whose homes are in sight of the College have exposed a woful ignorance of its affairs. Now a change is working. We have 84 gained many friends and more acquaintances, and it goes without saving, that every intelligent person who has become even in a slight degree familiar with the College, finds much good in its aims and efforts. This state of affairs is the most natural thing to be ex- pected. There is a growing appreciation of all advanced ideas in agriculture, of which the College aims to be the exponent. The labors of devoted men in the past are beginning to bear fruit, and over two thousand copies of every bulletin from the Experiment Station sent to actual applicants are oft recurring reminders of what the College exemplifies. The increasing numbers and influence of the Alumni are working for the College to a degree hard to estimate. Each individual has an influence on the popular view of the College, and a greater one than he realizes. In distant villages the whole community has an interest in the young man who has graduated from the farmers ' college and come back to toil among them, and their views of the institution will be modified by their unconscious estimate of his character in after life. It behooves every alumnus, therefore, to first realize his responsibility in the matter, and then live up to it. And so from all the sage advice which we are sup- posed to offer you as students, we only urge you to be loyal to the College that has fostered and educated you, after you have borne away her last gift. As Alumni we watch with gladness the tangible evidence of growth at our college home, — the new buildings, free scholarships, new instructors from the ranks of graduates, and the realization of Alumni efforts in the new library. At last comes the assurance of Alumni representation upon the board of trustees, a progressive step, but one for which it would seem the time had arrived. The confidence thus displayed in our body will not be misplaced. None can act with greater interest or sympathy in the affairs of the Col- lege than its graduates. The radical changes in the curriculum during the past year do not meet with our approval. They practically make the study of Agri- culture in the abstract optional, allowing the student to substitute History and Languages. One who wishes to make agricultural science a life work, finds himself obliged to choose a course which shall omit Agriculture, or omit French, German, Mineralogy, and Microscopy, any or all of which are essential to his progress. No student can escape military exercise, but all can reject Agriculture. In short, the very feature which should lend individuality and char- acter to the College is bereft of its importance, and even relegated to a secondary position. At this time, however, we only criticise in a general way, and endeavor to point out what seems to us an un- wise change. 85 The College of Ag-riculture is pre-eminently a college of the natural sciences, and even if we modify its plan to the scope of a liberal scientific education, the sciences related to Agriculture must still constitute the leading lines of study. We sincerely hope, therefore, that the day is near at hand when Chemistry, Botany, Geology, Zoology, and Physiology may be represented by departments of first and equal importance in the course of instruction. English should be taught first, last, and continually, as an incessant drill, so that at ' least the graduating theses may be written correctly and expressed clearly; and, finally, as an aid to advanced scientific or literary study, let the modern languages receive thorough consideration. These suggestions seem to us to be in harmony with the acknowl- edged educational tendencies of the times, and with the plan and scope of the College. In conclusion, we offer to College, faculty, and students, in behalf of former pupils and associates now scattered through our own and foreign lands, hearty and sincere greetings, with wishes for your highest prosperity.

Not to the oak, whose aged limbs The shock of wintry blasts withstand, Nor to the fragrant sandal tree. Whose odor fills the Eastern land, Nor to the lily, beauteous, fair. Free from all tinga of earthly stain, Nor to the blessed herbs, whose powers Are potent to relieve from pain, But to a very common tree. Although in blossom wondrous fair Since promising of future fruit, — Would I our class compare. The apple tree, a common thing. But, useful as it has been made To please and profit all mankind. It puts all others in the shade. The seedling ' s size at first was small. But strong of root and full of life; At one year old the bud was set. Yet parent stock ne ' er knew the knife. 95 So, onward from that time they grew, Seedling and bud toward the skies, Still reaching up into the light E ' en though held down by earthly ties. Its roots are long. They stretch away Across a broad expanse of ground, From Williamstown to Boston Bay And clear to Hudson ' s banks they ' rq found. But what shall be their ripened fruit. When, from the tender, fostering care Of Alma Mater ' s nursery row. They seek a wider field elsewhere ? We cannot tell. In after years Some branch may slowly wither down. The axe of Time will thin her limbs And mar the beauty of her crown. Still, let us hope that kindly Fate Will all her vigorous shoots preserve, And in our onward pilgrimage Make beauty unto use subserve. ■ayyiyck -t -cL-Zi ■ A.-ad-e t. i ' d ■a.€t-zji.-e.4. Ctd .

Six Years established and never known to fail in a single case, acute or chronic. S ]E3 O XI. £3 XT ! THE ONLY DISSOLVER OF THE POISONOUS URIC ACID WHICH EXISTS IN THE BLOOD OF RHEUMATIC AND GOUTY PATIENTS. SALICYLICA is known as a com mon sense remedy, because it strikes directly at the cause of Rheumatism, Gout, and Neuralgia, while so many so-called specifics and supposed panaceas only treat locally the effects. It has been conceded by eminent scientists that outward applications, such as rubbing with oils, ointments, liniments, and soothing lotions, will not eradicate these diseases, which are the i-esult of the poisoning of the blood with Uric Acid. SALICYLICA works with marvelous effect on this acid, and so removes the disorder. REMEMBER that SALICYLICA is a certain cure for Rheumatisnn, Gout, and Neuralgia. The most intense pains are subdued almost in- stantly. Give it a trial. Relief guaranteed or money refunded. Thousands of testimonials sent on application. $ I a Box. 6 Boxes for $5. Sent free by mail on receipt of money. ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR IT, But do not take imitations or substitutes, or something recommended as just as good. Insist on the genuine with the name of WASHBURNE CO. on each box, which is guaranteed chemically pure under our signatiire, an indispensable requisite to insure success in the treatment.
