"The Artist in Our Literature' We will wager that you have no complete set of the works of the man whom Lord Tennyson called "the literary glory of America"-the man who wrote the most effective example of fugitive poetry ever published in the United States-the man who gave fresh life to the "short story"-the man who invented the detective story and the tale of mystery-America's first real critic: EDGAR ALLAN POE Poe was the most cosmopolitan of American writers. His best work belongs to the highest domain of art. His stories have admittedly served as models to such creators as Sir Conan Doyle, and some of his verse is not excelled by any in our languange for music and imagination. His strong originality, his firm, fine touch, and his sombre, yet beautiful, temperament, combine to throw a spell over his readers and, as it were, transport them to another world. WE ONLY 60 SETS NOW LEFT! JE have an edition of POE'S works that we have called the FORDHAM EDITION; for it was in his tiny cottage at Fordham that Poe composed "The Raven." This set is in ten volumes, and contains over 3,000 text pages-each one printed in two colors with an ornamental border. The set is illustrated by 36 full-page designs in photogravure on Japan vellum with printed tissues. The majority of these illustrations are by eminent hands and interpret Poe in his various moods with unusual power. The books are bound in threequarters leather, octavo, with silk headbands.

Mott's Method of Kidney Treatment restores cell function of the kidney not destroyed, arrests and prevents further spreading of the disease. His methods for treating kidney affections have been tested by the Cincinnati Post. A full detail of this investigation or test can be had by addressing him as below. Dr. Mott is a graduate of a Cincinnati medical college, class 1883, and afterward took instructions abroad, later becoming a specialist and investigator of kidney diseases. For nearly twenty years he has revealed to science that kidney diseases can be checked, the patient restored to normal weight and enabled to resume work. The following is a statement from Dr. Mott: "My method is intended to arrest the disease, even though it has destroyed most of the kidney, and to preserve intact that portion not yet destroyed. The medicines I use are for the purpose of neutralizing the poisons that form a toxine that destroys the cells in the tubes of the kidneys, and my success in the treatment of kidney diseases is enough to convince physician and patient alike, that science has mastered hitherto 'incurable disease, physiologically speaking.'" Dr. Mott invites the afflicted to send their symptoms and to ask for his free expert opinion. He will send you his essay on kidney troubles. Correspondence should be directed to IRVINE K. MOTT, M.
