Give Your Girls a Chance.

"

Experience is a valuable part of education. Girls should always learn to purchase mater- ials for their own clothing. Parents can advise them at the start, but it will bea good plan for girls to learn to rely on their own judgment. The purchases can be talk- ed over after they are made. Let your daughter, with a little advice, cut up a few

rds of calico and make aprons, dresses and bed-quilts, even if there is a little waste and some poor fits. She will likely see her own mistakes and profit by them. Let her make some cakes and bread, and broil some meat and pop some corn, no matter if she does have to throw some into the swill pail. It is better to make a few small mistakes while young, in acquiring an education than to grow up without experience. They must learn sometime, or make great blunders during a good portion of their lives, when left to rely on themselves. In many res-

The Greatest Medical Discovery sines 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 deen 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 CapsicumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by ail who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more rea} 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 ‘nstant one is applied the patient will fee) 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 cures 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 other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed,-and you wanta certain cure, ask your druggist for DR. 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 fo. the most delicate person to wear, as it is frea 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 s°ll hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvin’s CAPsI- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or,
