In 1845-6 he did a little writing for parties in Lockport, and in 1855 was very bad and suttered very much, ali the joints of the body and limbs becoming more or less affected by this ime.
In 1852 he was put on an invalid bed, from which he has never been removed He could manage, however, with a good deal of difficulty, to feed himself eight years after that; since that time he has been fed with a spoon, which is quite a difticult task, as his jaws are grimly set and nothing thicker than a knife-blade can pass them. Yet he eats almost everything that others do, and is very hearty. Fat pork, fat beef, baked beans, potatoes and milk are his favorites.

toes. The bones of the fingers of the right hand have been nearly absorbed, and the flesh remaining is puffy and flacid. In the left hand not only the bones of the fingers but the bones of the whole hand have undergone this same process of absorption. The finger nails of this hand are grown out beyond the ends of the fingers three and one- half inches, giving a wired and inhuman appearance to the hand. The arms are atraight down by his sides and fixed in this condition, and in the middle of the arm and fore-arm measured only five inches in circumference.
The limbs are straight with a dislo- cation of the righthip joint, but all firm and solid bone, the thigh measuring only eight and one-half inches around. The bones of the toes are absorbed the same as the hands and the flaecid toes droop and hang down like fringe. The spinal column is also perfectly consoli- dated, thus rendering the body capable of being lifted by one’s hand under his head and heels without yielding or bending. The muscles are not para- lyzed, but their action seems pertectly under his control as seen by the action of the tendons and cords. ‘The pulse is regular, beating seventy to the minute, strong and full. All the vital organs are sound and in active conditiou, thus rendering him capable of living many years longer. On the whole, this is probably one of the most remarkable eases on record in this or any other country.-— Lockport (N. Y.) Journal.

Cause or Expiosions.—A lamp may be standing on a table or mantle, anda slight puff of air from the open window or door may cause an explosion. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table or mantle and instantly exploded. A lamp is taken out into the entry, where there is a draught, or out of doors, and an explosion ensues. A lighted lamp is taken upa flight of stairs or is raised quickly to place it on a mantel, resulting in an explosion. In these cases the mischief is done by the air movement — either by suddenly checking the draught or forcing air down the chimney against the flame. Blowing down the chimney to ex- tinguish the light is a frequent cause of explosion. Lamp explosions have been caused by using a chimney broken off at the top, or one that hasa piece broken out whereby the draught is variable and the flame unsteady, Some

(CAPSICUM) JOROUSS AR RQ
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- ing of so many different diseases has been caused 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 are acknowledged 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 instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as & medical agent for an outward application ; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster haye been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvINn’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 such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
YR. 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 for the most delicate Speman to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli 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, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
