A club of gold of little more than five inches on each side, contains the value of ten thousand pounds.

The United States mint in Philadel- phia lately received in one day two tons of gold in bars and fifteen tons of silver. For most people “a thing to dream of—not to see.”

The foolish man taketh down his stove, and whacketh the soot from the yipe thereof; but the practical man ideth his time, and will laugh when his neighbor shivereth.

A good story is told of an Ayrshire grave digger. Cholera was raging in the district in which he -esided, and every day he had a number of graves to dig, and was fast making money. While digging a grave a friend, in pass- ing, said, “You're busy, John.” “ Yes,” he replied, “ but this is a useless job— it’s for the wife.”

The Greatest Medical Diseevery 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. MELYIN’sS 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. Ali 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.

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, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by DR. MELVIN’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 vilrer plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

nick in its action, you can rely on its safety

or 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 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.
