A yo'sn

F her husk ai was: a drunkard. - Bat one;

night he came home at a very lute hour, | and wuch the worse for liquor. When he | staggered jpto the house, the wife, who | Was greatly shocked, told him he was sick, | and to go to bed at once, And io aj minute or two-he was comfortably settled on a sofa in a deep, drunken sleep. blis face. was reddish purple, his breathing was heavy, aud altogether he was a pitiable looking object.

The doctor was sent for, post haste, and mustard applied to his feet and hands. Whed the vector came and felt of his pulse and examined him, and found he was only druok, he said :

‘ He'll be all right in the morning.’

But the wife insisted th.t he was vor sic. aud that severe remedies must be

used

‘You must shave his head and apply blisters,’ she urged, ‘ or I shall send for sone doctor who will.’

The husband was accordingly closely shaved, and blisters were applied.

The patient slept all night, and, nots withstandiug the blisters were eatlog 1Dt0 his flesh, it was not til pear mornivg that he began to beat about, disturbed by pain.

About daylight he awoke to a wost up comfortable consciousness of blistered ago- nies.

‘What does this mean?’ he satd, put; ting his hand to his bandaged head,

‘Lie still; you must not stir; you have been very sick,’ said the wife.

‘I’m pot sick,’ he said, trying to rise.

‘Qn, yes, you are; you have the brain fecer. We have been working over you all night.’

‘L:rhould think you had, What is the matter with my feet?’ groaved the victim’

‘They are all blistered.’

‘Jum better pow. ‘Take off the blis- ters.’ he pleaded, pitiously.

He was ia a most uccomfort:ble statef his heud covered with sores, and his hands and feet still worse.

‘Dear,’ he said, groaning, ‘ should | ever ge sick in this way agalo, don't kx alarmed, aud send for a doctor, aud don’t blister me again.’

‘Qh, indeed I will! All that saved you was the blisteriog, and if you sisuld have another such a spell, I should be frighten- ed more than ever, for the tendency | aw gure, is to upoplexy, and from the uext at- tack you will be likely to die, unless the severest measures ure used.’

Ile made no further defence, but it was rematkable that he never had auother at-

tack.

She was a romantic young lady, and he, her father, tock a practical view of every- thiog. She looked up from her book i» botuny, and esquired :

‘Father, did you ever study botany ?’

‘}le was iaterested in his paper, and did not reply, aud presently she contin- wed :

¢ Vapa, what flowers do you prefer ?’

‘Flour, eh?’ he replied, as he looked up. ‘ Why, I always get that made from winter wheat. if lean. I thiak it makes better bread !’

She sighed, and wished there was young mun on the other end of the sofa. — ————————_—_——_—_

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

Thore 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

pr. MELVIN’s CArstoumM Ponovus PLASTERS “i 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 acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will fee) its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested ani well know the effect of Capsicum, auc . 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 adyan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Meivin’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 baek, and all such cases az have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plaa- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you wantacertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CApsicuM Ponous PLASTER, You ean hardly believe yourown convictions of iis wonderful efeets. Although powerful and auick in its action, you can rely on its safety fo the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commoniy used in the manufacture @f ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and ove plaster will sell hundreds tu vour friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, ou 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,
