Hand-Shaking

« Who is it that will shake hands with me ?”’ asks Job. “A man void of under- standing strikes hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friends,” said the wise King of Israel, In this old-world custom of striking hands, hand- shaking, no doubt, originated, for, before is beeime a mere friendly greeting, a of the hand was accepted as a

Only Twenty Minutes.

I will tell you the greatest vexation of my life, said an Australian colonist to me one day. In the year 1840 I went up to B— | when gold was being found in large quantities. There was a great rush. I discovered a very promising spot, and went in all haste to secure the cluim. On my way I met an old chum whom I had not seen for years. He was in great spirits, and insisted on my returning back to have refreshments and smoke a cigar just for old friendship’s sake. Most re- luctantly and with many misgivings |] went with him. We had our refresh- ments and parted.

I went to secure the claim, and found myself twenty minutes too late. Disap- point: d and vexed, [looked out another spot, which, however, was not to my mind. ‘The man who had secured the first claim made a handsome fortune from it in a short time. While he was turning

out immense nuggets, gold slmost in }

shovelfuls, | was breaking my toois, my)}-

It has been said that evil manners com- municate miraculous morals, or words to that effect, but more effective.

A more glorious victory cannot be gained ever another man than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.

The Greatest Medical Disecvery 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 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 Porous 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 dii- 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 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, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo 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. MELYIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick im its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person 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 gaarantee of its merits, and one piaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on eres 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,
