No other store in New Jersey, and but few stores in the metropolis, can present such advantages as we offer in Furniture. That's a strong statement, but it is a true one. We don't boast. Over 400x200 feet of space given over to Furniture precludes boasting, We have the eye-opening evidence in long lancs, huge tiers and mammoth assortment of Furniture in every grade to support our contention that ours is the most complete, most varicd and most superb collection in the State. And the prices-well, show us a store that can touch them for modesty. Here art and science blend harmoniously, light and shade are in pleasing contrast, wood and textile vie with each other in beauty of substance and design.
Carpets, upholsteries, silks and dress goods, millinery, ladies', misses' and children's top garments, and about everything required for home and the person, will be found at Hahne & Co.'s, in great variety and at lowest prices.

BROOKLYN, January 17, 1898.
To the Medical Society of the County of Kings,
David Myerle, M. D., Secretary.
DEAR SIR :
On Monday, January 17, 1898, a meeting of the wives of a number of the members of the Medical Society of the County of Kings was held, at which it was decided to organize an Association, to be known as the Woman's Auxiliary to the Building Committee of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, for the purpose of raising funds to assist in the erection of a new building for the Medical Society.
Membership in the Association to be limited to the wives of mem- bers of the Medical Society, and widows and daughters of deceased members.
The purpose of this communication is to tender the serving of the organization as above described.
Hoping from you an early reply I am, Yours respectfully, (Signed) Z. LOUISE EVANS, Secy. pro tem. (Mrs. George A. Evans)
BROOKLYN, N. Y., January 21, 1898.
Mrs. G. A. Evans, Secretary pro tem. Woman's Auxiliary to the Building Committee of the Medical Society of the County of Kings.
DEAR MADAM :
The communication addressed to the Society, announcing the formation of your organization and its purpose, was read at the Annual Meeting, January 18th. It met with decided favor. You will, therefore, accept from the Building Committee, as well as from the Society as a whole, sincere appreciation of your purpose to increase the fund for the new building.
In behalf of the Society permit me to thank the ladies for their loyal determination, and extend assurance of aid whenever called upon.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) D. MYERLE, M. D., Secretary.

SPECIALIZATION.
Medical science long since passed the bounds of one man's acquirement, and attained such proportions that specialization became necessary; and the time has now arrived when dentistry demands the same subdivision.
New methods have been devised, new operations invented, and the whole range of technical learning and skill enlarged until the greatest excellence in dental practice can only be obtained by a div- ision of work. Just as in medicine, knowledge and dexterity ofsuch various kinds are now required in dentistry that an ordinary man cannot hope to acquire them all. There is as much difference be- tween operative dentistry and extracting as between surgery and obstetrics. Crown work and bridge work require the training of a metallurgist, and the skill of a jewelcr, and differ as much from other dental branches as does the work of the oculist from the general practice of medicine. Hence my system meets with the favor of medical men, because they know so well the results of specialization, accompanied by natural aptitude, special study and constant practice.
Under my supervision is a corps of specialists, each selected for distinctive skill in a particular line of dentistry. Each had to demonstrate such skill, and show marked ability in the special branch required, before entering my office. After entering, his work is solely in that branch and he is not called upon to undertake any other.
The advantage of this system in actual practicc, has been endorsed by prominent members of the medical profession in Brooklyn, whom I number among my most enthusiastic patients. I shall be happy to submit their names, and to show and explain the merits of my practice, personally, to physicians at all times.

Chairman Press Committee.
MY DEAR MRS. BAYLES :
In reply to your inquiry regarding the origin of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Building Committee of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, I would say, that during a casual conversation with Dr. David Myerle, Secretary of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, at his house on the occasion of my making a social call upon Mrs. Myerle, the erection of a new medical society building was dis- cussed, when it was my good fortune to suggest that the wives of the members would, no doubt, be glad to assist the physicians in raising funds by means of a festival or a fair.
Dr. Myerle was so favorably impressed by the suggestion that he brought the matter before the Building Committee at its next meeting. The Committee approved of the plan, and directed its Secretary to authorize me to organize a Woman's Auxiliary to raise funds for the purpose, and in the manner suggested.
On receiving this sanction of the Society through the Building Committee, I requested Mrs. George R. Fowler to co-operate with me, which she kindly consented to do.
Notices were sent to the wives of a number of the members of the Medical Society for a meeting which was held January 17, 1898, at the Medical Society Building, 356 Bridge Street. There were seven- teen present : Mrs. Joseph Hunt, Mrs. Charles N. Cox, Mrs. Charles H. Terry, Mrs. Russell S. Fowler, Mrs. William Schroeder, Mrs. W. B. Chase, Mrs. David Myerle, Mrs. E. H. Bartley, Mrs. Nathaniel Matson, Mrs. J. E. Sheppard, Mrs. J. W. Hamilton, Mrs Henry E. Alderton, Mrs. Henry A. Fairbairn, Mrs. P. C. Jameson, Mrs. Frank E. West and Mrs. George A. Evans.
The following temporary officers were elected : Mrs. George R. Fowler, President ; Mrs. George A. Evans, Secretary; Mrs. Charles H. Terry, Treasurer,
After this meeting, notices were sent to the wives of all the mem- bers of the Medical Society of the County of Kings for a meeting, which was held January 24, at 356 Bridge Street, at which there were forty present.
A third meeting was held at the same place, January 31st. There were seventy-seven present, on which occasion the permanent officers were elected. From that time the history of the Woman's Auxiliary is a matter of record on the Minute Books of the Association.
Cordially yours, (Signed) Z. LOUISE EVANS (Mrs. George A. Evans).

WHY, WHERE, AND WHEN.
A Short Historic Sketch of the Medical Society of the County of Kings.
In the early history of the American Colonies, even in the face of the earnest principle, that made men leave their native land for conscience sake, or for the advancement of fortune, there were not wanting those quacks and charlatans who prey upon human fear, and credulity, to make capital for their own ends. Past the days of the Indian Medicine Man, who in his poetic igno- rance believed he could cure by his charms, incantations, dances, etc., we have here and there among the early settlers, those who gave themselves out as "great ones," yet knowing nothing of the medical science of those days.
Amongst the early medical names of Long Island is a certain Paulus Van Der Beeck, of Bremen ; also Hans Kierstede, who settled in New Amster- dam as early as 1638. They were both surgeons, and we are told that the latter was "a pushing man, shrewd, and with an eye for the main chance." Then comes Gerardus Willemse Beekman, a physician, and politician who settled in Flatbush in 1678, and was chosen one of the deacons of the Reformed Dutch Church. Of his medical career nothing is known. He was a politician, and became a Justice. Then we hear of a Dr. John Nerbury, who lived near the Brueckelen Ferry, who cared for patients even as far as the distant town of Flatbush, and who in 1732 presented a bill to the county of 6 pounds 4 shillings for taking care of a poor man at Mr. Stryker's, in that ancient settlement. Dr. Hendrick Van Beuren in 1754 becomes incensed at the ignorance, and incompetency of these so-called medical practitioners, and writes a letter to the New York Gazette which he heads with an Aphorism of Hippocrates : "Vita brevis, ars vero longa; sec occasio momentoso magni momenti ; empirica periclitato periculosi judicium difficili." A short extract will suffice to give his opinion : "Every pitiful Fellow now-a-Days (more dex- terous at murdering and maiming his Patients than at terms of Art) assumes to himself, with no small Arrogance, the appellation of Doctor, far from being due to Quacks and Medicators, and only so to the gentlemen of the Faculty,

PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE CASTORIA.
C ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies, and med- ical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The present extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: 1st, The indisputable evidence that it is harm- less: 2d. That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food; and 3d, It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for castor oil. It is absolutely safe.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
T
THIRTY years' observation of Castoria with the patronage of millions of persons, per- mit us to speak of it without guessing. It is unquestionably the best remedy for Infants and Children the world has ever known. It is harmless. Children like it. It gives them health. It will save their lives. In it Mothers have something which is absolutely safe and practically perfect as a child's medicine.
Castoria destroys Worms.
Castoria allays Feverishness ..
Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd.
Castoria cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic.
Castoria relieves Teething Troubles.
Castoria cures Constipation and Flatulency.
Castoria neutralizes the effects of carbonic acid gas or poisonous air.
Castoria does not contain morphine, opium, or other narcotic property.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach and bowels, giving healthy and nat- ural sleep.
Castoria is put up in one-size bottles only. It is not sold in bulk.
Don't allow any one to sell you anything else on the plea or promise that it is "just as good " and "will answer every purpose."
