THE CHILD'S DREAM. |

Mother, are they calling me’” ‘Hush, my child | ‘tis but the shifting Of soft opal clouds in flight, Through a sea of silver, drifting "Tween thy sick eyes and the light. | |

‘Mother, what are the angels saying, Bending in a murmuring throng,

Likea band of weak nuns praying, ‘Round my bed the whole day Tong ?

With their cool wings softly fanning, Pain and fever from my brow,

And an arch of blue eyes spanning Shadows creeping round me now *” ‘Hush my child! ‘tis but the whisper Of the quivering aspens, stirred, By the upland breeze, whose vesper ‘Mid the sighing pines is heard.”

‘‘ Mother, what are the angels singing ° | List ! their tones rise high and calm

Through the twilight silence ringing Like a grand cathedral psalm !

Distant harp-chords sweetly thrilling, ; Float out with their voices clear,

All the air with rapture fillimg— | Mother is not heaven near *”

‘* Hush, my child ! ‘tis but the river Murmuring songs thy childhood knew ; |

Mingling with bird notes that quiver | Out upon its sparkling blue.”

. * * . * *

Softly waned the sunset glowing, Softly dropping the starlight down ; And the west wind faintly blowing, Kissed to sleep those eyes of brown ! Still the silvery clouds were rifting Downward through the blue of June, Still the singing waves went drifting Out, in sudden, tidal tune. And all night the aspen’s whisper Seemed to mourn that young life fled, And breathed its mournful morning vesper, O’er a mother’s darling, dead !

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 Ponovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who havo 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 ‘nstant 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 cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porovs 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 want a certain cure, as‘ your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and —_ 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 gall 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.

The Perple Want Proof.

_ There is no medicine prescribed by physi cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as Boscurr’s German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof

“Ah, but I should have to bury you only onee,’”’ was the.

of that fact is that any person afflicted, can_ get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its

superior effect before buying the regular size | at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in ; this country from Germany, and its wonderfu | cures are astonishing everyone that use it. | Three doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold by all Duggists on the Western Cntinent !
