The Trainer of the Rangers Football Team writes:
"Sir,—I use HERBULINE extensively, and find it of great value. I have never been disappointed in my results from using it. It is superior to any preparation I have hitherto tried, and I strongly advise those in want of a safe, reliable liniment to give it a trial.—I am, yours respectfully,
"Ibrox, February 6th, 1890.

PREFACE.
In bringing my first edition of Football Reminiscences and Sketches before the public, I do so with a sense of profound regard for the game and its players, and heartfelt gratitude to numerous friends—some of whom, alas! are no more—for advice and assistance. If my readers consider it worthy of one who has devoted a quarter of a century in attaining that experience necessary to criticise the players of the dead past and those of the living present with fidelity, I will have gained something to be remembered, and be amply repaid for what I have done to assist the spread of the Association game in Scotland. Many of my sketches, under different names, have already appeared in various journals, including the Daily and Weekly Mail, Bell's Life in London, and the "Scottish Football Annual," but I have remodelled some of them very considerably, and indulge in the hope that they may while away an hour or so at the fireside of the Player and Spectator after a big Cup Tie or other interesting match.

AERATED WATERS

PHILADELPHIA and BRUSSELS, 1876.
Since offering to the Public in 1850 these delicious and unrivalled Aerated Beverages, the sole and lasting aim to which Messrs. Corry & Co. have directed all their efforts has been, not to force sales by venturesome and questionable efforts, but by the real fact of the superiority of the Beverages they offer to merit universal patronage. Judging from the world-wide favour, which they find yearly increasing, and the unprecedented success which has attended their efforts at all the Universal Exhibitions, or wherever they have competed, this aim (so far attained, and which their experience has proved to be a fundamental principle of success) will be steadily pursued. Since 1850 many mere imitators have come and gone, and many still remain; but the Public are requested to insist on having Corry's Waters, not imitations.
To be had at all the First-class Hotels, Restaurants, and from Family Grocers, Wine Merchants, Chemists, also on board all First-class River and Ocean-going Steamers, etc., etc.
