In cases of affections of the nervous system, complicated with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys or with a gouty diathesis. The results have been eminently satisfactory. Lithia has for many years been a favorite remedy with me in like cases, but the

Better Borne by the Stomach.

FOR 1892. Arena Art Portfolio

"The boldest, ablest and most original magazine
in America."-Jewish Times and Observer.

$9.00 We send The Arena and Portfolio, postpaid, for $5.20

THE ARENA for 1892 will eclipse its previous brilliant record in the strength and ability of its contributions. As in the past, it will continue to be the most aggressive, fearless and outspoken review of the age. All great living issues will be fully, freely and impartially discussed by the foremost thinkers of our day. Great wrongs and growing evils will be unmasked without fear or favor, while the root problems underlying civilization will be more fully discussed than in the pages of any other review.

SOME SPECIAL FEATURES FOR 1892.

I. "A Spoil of Office," by Hamlin Gerland, which opens in the January ARENA. This is, without question, one of the greatest novels ever written by an American author. It deals with the social, economic and political conditions of the modern West, and is characterized by beauty and strength. A golden thread of love runs through the woof and web of this great story, which opens in Iowa, shifts its scenes to Kansas and closes in the National Capitol. "A SPOIL OF OFFICE" will be the most talked-of story of 1892, and You should read it.

II. Popular Social and Economic Problems. It will be an encyclopædia of social, economic and political information, giving its readers a masterly exposition of the true conditions and needs of the present, depicting the evils of the hour, and suggesting remedies calculated to secure a wider meed of justice and liberty for the great toiling millions of our land. From its inception THE ARENA has been THE STEADFAST CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE, absolutely fearless in its denunciation of plutocracy, monopoly and all means and measures which wrong the multitude or infringe upon the liberty of the humblest citizen.

III. Psychical Science. During 1892, THE ARENA will have the ablest, most authoritative and brilliant series of papers ever published on psychical science, by leading thinkers of the New World and the Old.

IV. The Condition of Woman Throughout the World. Recognizing the fact that the present is the cycle of woman, THE ARENA for 1892 will contain a brilliant and powerful series of papers on the condition of woman throughout the world. The opening paper appears in the January number, by Prof. A. N. Jannaris, Ph.D., of the National University of Greece. It is on "Women in Mohammedan Lands."

V. Scientific Papers. Popular papers on scientific subjects by the most profound thinkers of the age will also be a feature of THE ARENA for 1892. The first paper of this series appears in the December ARENA, by the eminent French astronomer, Camille Flammarion, on "Recent Discoveries in the Heavens." The second is by the great English scientist, Alfred Russel Wallace, on Human Progress, Past and Future."

[ocr errors]

VI. Religious and Educational Problems and Social Conditions will be fully and freely presented by the master spirits in each department of thought.

VII. Short Stories and Biographies. Each issue will contain, in addition to Mr. Garland's great novel, a brilliant short story or a biography of some eminent person; thus every member of the family will hail the arrival of THE ARENA with delight.

VIII. Full-page Portraits and Illustrations. Each issue will contain superb full-page portraits of distinguished personages, with autographs, printed on heavy plate paper.
