The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- {ng of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’S Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS 4 are acknowledyed by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instaut oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvrin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all guch cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you haye tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

IR, MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety foi the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the mannfacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufiicient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no Other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, 81 for five, or

2 for a dozen, they will be maijed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
