THE LIDF'S FRIEND.
GOIM'S Linn BOOK
FOR. 1869.
The World's Favorite.
For 32 Years the Standard Magazine. Pronounced
by the Press of the United Slates, THE BEST
LADY'S MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD, and
the cheapest.
THE LITERATURE
is of that kind that can be read aloud in the family
circle, and the clergy in immense numbers are
subscriber for the Book.
THE BEST LADY WRITERS
in America contribute to its pages, and we have
some that write for no other magazine.
THE MUSIC
is ail original, and would cost 25 cents (the price
of the Book) in the music stors; but most of it is
copyrighted, and cannot be obtained except in
"Godey."
OUR STEEL ENGRAVINGS.
ATI efforts to rival us in this hate ceased, and
we now stand alone in this department, giving, as
we do, many more and infinitely better engravings
than are published in any other work.
GODEY'S
IMMENSE DOUBLE SHEET FASHION
PLATES,
containing from five to seven full length Colored
Fashions on each plate. Other Magazines give
only two.
FAR AHEAD OF ANY FASHIONS IN EU
ROPE OR AMERICA.
Godey's is the only wofk in the world that gives
these immense plates, ar.d they are sucb ss to have
excited the wonder of publishers and public. The
publication of these plates cost slo,o(k> MORE than
Fasliiou-plates of the ol i style, and nothing but
our wonderfully large circulation enables us to
give them. Other magazines cannot afford it.—
We never spare money when the public cau be be
nefitted.
These fashions may be relied on. Dresses may
lte made after them, and the wearer will not sub
ject herself to ridicule, as would l>e the case if she
visited the lutge cities dressed after the style of
the plates given in some of our so called fashion
magazines.
OUR WOOD ENGRAVINGS,
of which we give twice or three times as many as
any other magazine, are often mistaken for steel.
They are so tar superior to any others.
IMITATIONS.
Beware of them. Remember that the Lady's
Book is the original publication and the cheapest.
If you take Godey, you wiut no other magazine.
Everything that is useful or ornamental iu a
house can be*(ound in Godey.
. DRAWING LESSONS.
No other magazine gives them, and we have
given enough to till several large volumes.
LADIES' WORK TABLE.
This department comprises engravings ana de
scription# of every article that a lady wears.

Is precisely what its name indicates, for whil®
pleasant to the taste, it is revivifying, exbiler
ating, and strengthening to the vital powers.
It also revivifies, reinstates and renews the
blood in all its original purity, and thns re
stores and renders the system invulnerable to
attacks of disease. It is the only preparation
ever offered to the world in a popular form so
as to be within the reach ot all. So chemi
cally and skillfully combined as to lie the most
powerful tonic, and yet so perfectly adapted
to to act in perfect accordance with the laws
of nature, and hence sooth the weakest stomach. £
and tone up the digestive organs, and allay allft
nervous and ether irritation. It is also per.fi J
fectly exhilarating in its"effects, and yet it bg
Wuevcr followed by lassitude or depression ofH
■■spirits. It is composed entirely ot Vegetables® '
"and those thoroughly combining powerfulrw
tonic and* soothing properties, and conse-j?
■ qucntly can never injure. Such a remedy hat ft
r long been felt to be a desideratum in the
jgcal woild, both by the thoroughly skilled InR
■ medical science, and also by ail who have suf-ft
M fered fro m debility ; for it needs no medicaid
■ skill or knowledge even to see that debility ft
L follows all attacks of disease, and lays the uti- ;
J guarded system open to the attacks of many
of the roost dangerous to which poor humanity ft
is constantly liable. Such, for example, as, ,
following: Consumption, Bronchitis, In.ft
■ digestion, Dyspepsia, Loss cf Appetite, Faint-P
89 ness, Nervous Irritability, Neurulgia, Palpita
ak'tion of the Heart, Melancholy, Hypocomiria, _
■ Night Sweats, Languor, Giddiness, and alia
ft that class of cases, so fearfully fatal if unat-ft
r tended to in time, called Female Weakness and^
■ Irregularities. Also Liver Derangments or
™Torpidity, and Liver Complaints, Diseases ofay
■a the Kidneys, Scalding or Incontinence of theff
* Urine, or aDy geueral derangement of the®
(h Urinary Organs Pain in the Back, Side, and ft
rj between the Shoulders, predisposition to Slight ft
ft Colds, Hacking and Continued Cough. Eiua-k
ffciation, Difficulty of Breathing,and indeed weft
ft might enumerate many more still, hut we haveC
■ space only to say, it will not only cure the®
P| debility following Chills and Fever, but pre-ft
vent all attacks arising from Miasmatic In-ft
_ fluences, and cure the diseases at once, if at.™
ft ready attacked. And as it acts directly aDdte
ft persistently upon the biliary system, arousing ft
the Liver to action, promoting, in fact, all the®
8* excretions and secretions of the system, it
wilt infallibly prevent any delilerious con sc. ft
queuces tollowing upon change of climate andß
water ; hence all travelers should haveabot-ft
ft tie with them, and all should
ft spoonml at least before eating. As it pre- ■
vents coativeuesa, strengthens the
I ft organs, it snould be in the bands ot all persons
Mot sedtntaty nabits, students, ministers, liter-ft
. ary men. And all ladies not accustomed tow
.gmuch out door exercise should always use it. A
gslf they will they will find an sgieeable, pleas-Q i
gganL nd efficient remedy against those ills® I
"which rob them of their beauty; for beauty ft
cannot exist without health, arid health cannot ft
• exist while the above irregularities continue, i
f Then again, the Cordial is a perfect
JJj Relief. Taken a month or two before the fina. ft
Atrial she will pass the dreadful period Willir
Bperfect,8 perfect, ease and safety; There is nn mistake,
about it, this Cordial is all we claim for it. ft
Mothers, try it! And to you we appeal to"

ftsons and husbands, for while the former, from®
false delicacy, often goes down to a premature ft
