THE STANDARD ANTISEPTIC. LISTERINE is a non-toxic, non-irritating and non-escharotic antiseptic, composed of ozoniferous essences, vegetable antiseptics and benzo-boracic acid. LISTERINE is sufficiently powerful to make and maintain surgical cleanliness in the antiseptic and prophylactic treatment and care of all parts of the human body. LISTERINE has ever proven a thoroughly trustworthy antiseptic dressing for operative or accidental wounds. LISTERINE is invaluable in obstetrics and gynecology as a general cleansing, prophylactic, or antiseptic agent, and is an effective remedy in the treatment of catarrhal conditions of every locality. LISTERINE is useful in the treatment of the infectious maladies which are attended by inflammation of accessible surfaces-as diphtheria, scarlet fever and pertussis. LISTERINE diluted with water or glycerine speedily relieves certain fermentative forms of indigestion. LISTERINE is indispensable for the preservation of the teeth, and for maintaining the mucous membrane of the mouth in a healthy condition. LISTERINE employed in the sick-room by means of a spray, or saturated cloths hung about, is actively ozonifying and rapidly oxidizing in its effects upon organic matter afloat in the atmosphere. LISTERINE is of accurately determined and uniform antiseptic power and of positive originality. LISTERINE is kept in stock by all worthy pharmacists everywhere. FOR DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE, ADDRESS LAMBERT PHARMACAL Co., ST. LOUIS, MO. ix Appletons' Popular Science Monthly. EDITED BY WILLIAM J. YOUMANS. PROSPECTUS FOR 1898. 'Tis the aim of APPLETONS' POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY to meet the growing demand for a more general diffusion of natural knowledge. This demand is seen in the increased disposition of statesmen, financiers, historians, edu cators, and social reformers to turn to science for light on all great questions of human interest. The endeavor will be to keep abreast of the latest investiga tions in the several fields of science, to present their results, and to point out their bearings on knowledge as a whole and their value in commerce and the arts. As in former years, the MONTHLY for 1898 will continue to widen the range of its discussions with the advance of scientific inquiry. Observation and discovery in the domain of physical science will receive due consideration. Full attention will also be given to chronicling the progress that is being made in the biological sciences, particularly in those higher departments which concern themselves with the phenomena of industrial and social life. The valuable series of articles by Hon. David A. Wells on "The Principles of Taxation," now appearing in the MONTHLY, will run into the coming year, as will also the able papers on "The Racial Geography of Europe," by Professor William Z. Ripley. The illustrated articles on "Science at the Universities," and on the Scientific Societies and Institutions of the Country, will continue at varying intervals. Education treated from the standpoint of science, always a leading characteristic of this magazine, will be represented in a series of papers on Manual Training, by Professor C. Hanford Henderson, our highest authority on that branch of the subject. Another feature of special interest will be a succession of readable and instructive articles on "The Evolution of Colonies," contributed by Mr. James Collier, formerly of St. Andrews and Edinburgh Universities. The results of modern exploration, including descriptions of the appearance, manners, and customs of the peoples encountered, with numerous illus trations, will form a conspicuous part of the contents of the magazine. Two articles by Professor Angelo Heilprin, describing what he saw in the Desert of Sahara, will inaugurate this series.
