Quick back swung the barrier, his home was in view.

quire their children to work on the farm when they ought to be in school, thus robbing them of the inestimable benefit ‘ Two boys of the} same age and ability start for school in May. One attends every day, rain or shine, during that term of four or five months, and is supplied with books ac- cording to his capabilities; the other comes one day and stays away two or three, and then possibly comes three or four more. His exeuses are often amusing when we take into consider- ation the age and size of the little man. He has “had to help plan,” or “ log, off a piece for potatoes,” or * help ma,” or “pick berries.” His schooling averages about two days of the week. At the close of the term there is an examination. The first-mentioned lad has made rapid progress in his studies, The foundation stone is laid for an in- telligent, useful man. How is it with his companion ? His advancement is searcely perceptible. Who is to blame ? Not the boy, and certainly not the teacher. Has the little farmer earned enough to pay for his lack of schoo! culture? Emphatically no! he has suffered an incaleulable loss. Until the child has well entered his teens, he ean be of little use on the farm. During childhood, he should be allowed to attend school ten months of the year. At fifteen the boy or girl is strong enough to be of use, while at the same time they will be capable of learning by practice and observation what they have before learned only in theory. And many a lad or lass would lay up a fund of useful knowledge during the evenings and odd days when otherwise unemployed, that would bea perpetual fountain of usefulness during all their lives. Whereas the child who has an occasional day or week, or month at school, even from the time he is five years old until he is twenty-one, will have a very limited amount of know- ledge with which to begin a business life; and undoubtedly he will be obliged to knock about the world doing the drudgery of his former companions— looked upon as a sort of ignoramus in spite of using his best energies.

CASES
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 POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that une 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.
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 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 acertain cure, ask your druggist for
YR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate —— 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 sell 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.
