| Mr. L. B. Hamlen. Of Augusta, Me., says “I do not remember when I began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla; it was several years ago and I find it does me a great deal of good in my declining years. I Am 91 Years 2 months and 26 days old, and my health is perfectly good. I have no aches or pains. Hood’s Sarsaparilla regulates my bowels, stimulates my appetite, and helps me to sleep well. I doubt if a preparation was ever made so well suited to the wants of old people.” L. B. Hamlen, Elm St., Augusta, Me. N.B.—Be sure to get Hood’s.

| “GOLDEN DAYS.” The title of Golden Days was an inspiration, and the paper itself has been a revelation. Our golden days are childhood and youth, when all nature is bright and the future shows no cloud. It is the period when the mind is formed for good or evil, and, in many respects, is the most important period of life. There was a time when anything was good enough for young people—cast-off clothing, second place at table and the poorest sleeping-room, with snubbing at every hand. As for literature, it made no difference how dull or prosy were the books, young people had to read them or none at all. But the world moves, and Golden Days was the pioneer in recognizing that young people have tastes that must be consulted, if it is sought to interest and amuse them. They will absorb knowledge, as a sponge does water; but they will discriminate, as a sponge does not. A scientific article can be as interesting as a novel, and yet be as full of instruction as an egg is of meat; stories may point a moral unerringly and yet thrill with romantic adventure, like Robinson Crusoe; natural history teems with wonders far surpassing the Arabian Nights, and they are all true! These are the principles upon which Golden Days is founded, and from which it has never deviated; and that is why it is to-day the most popular juvenile paper in the world. Do you wonder why? There is no mystery about its popularity. Its broad and generous pages, coming every week all the year round, contain more reading than any other periodical in America. That is one reason; but the other and better reason is, that all the reading is just what the boys and girls want. To keep Golden Days up to this standard, to make it bright, breezy and abreast with the times, requires writers who understand boy-and-girl nature; and it has them. Every regular number of Golden Days contains liberal instalments of Four Serials, together with Stories of Adventure, Articles on Science and Natural History, Our Letter Box, Puzzles, Humorous Miscellany, Illustrated Sketches, and other interesting matter, and there is not a dull or common-place line from the first page to the last. | ||
Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
[From the West Philadelphia Press.] Golden Days is far ahead of any weeklypaper published in the United States having for its object the cultureand amusement of the youthful mind. Now, in its Twelfth Volume, itexhibits every sign of strength, permanency and progression. Mr.Elverson, the proprietor and editor, is one of those men who believe ita duty to do what they can for their race, and wisely he is doing forthe “rising generation” a work which, for him, is “a work of love.”Aiming to benefit our youth, through history, science, philosophy,geography, mechanics, etc., in a manner easily comprehended, he has madehis journal the efficient instrument of his noble purpose. Could he seethe anxiety on the faces of his young friends awaiting the arrival ofGolden Days by the mail or the newsagent, he would feel that his efforts to please them were not in vain,and that the running of his great presses, day and night, at Ninth andSpruce Streets, was indeed to them a gratification and blessing. From the Christian Advocate. Richmond, Va Any boy’s or girl’s days must be golden who reads that charming paper,published in Philadelphia, styled GoldenDays. The day it comes, and every day after, while its contentsare not exhausted, will be golden with the charming adventures,incidents of travel and thrilling stories of childhood and youth. Thechildren of every family should have it. Parents cannot make a betterinvestment than to subscribe for GoldenDays for their young folks. It is sent to any address for $3 peryear. James Elverson, Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa. From the Albany Evening Post. Golden Days is one of the very bestpublications for boys and girls in this country. Every number contains avaluable amount of information on athletic sports, fishing, hunting, andshort stories on all kinds of interesting subjects. The best writers areengaged, and they give their best work to Golden Days. James Elverson has produced a weeklypaper for young people that finds a warm welcome in every city, town andvillage from Maine to California. GoldenDays can be found at all our bookstores and news rooms throughoutthe United States. From Uncle Sam, El Dorado Springs, Mo. Our opinion of Golden Days is veryplain and straight, as follows: It is one of the purest publications tobe found in the hands of the reading young people of the present day. Itis full of short sketches that are interesting and instructive to theyoung and the old as well. The serial stories are all perfectly pure andare very interesting, besides setting good examples and morals for allwho read them. I have read GoldenDays more or less for seven or eight years, and I unhesitatinglypronounce it pure and instructive enough to be in the home circle ofevery family in the reading world. From the Southern World. Mr. James Elverson, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, deserves the thanksof parents who desire to see the minds of their children fed on healthyreading matter. His Golden Days, forboys and girls, is one of the handsomest and best weekly publications ofthe kind in the country, and should supplant the vile, sensational trashwith which the country is flooded. The hope of our republic is in heryouth, and if their moral characters are not elevated and made noble bya pure and lofty type of literature for boys and girls, we may expectserious trouble in the future of our race. | From the Advocate of Peace, Boston.
