Few men die of age. Almost all die of disappointment, passion, mentil or bodily toil, or accident, The passions kill men sometimes, even suddenly. ‘The common expression, choked with passion, has little exaggeration in it, for even

though not suddenly fatal, strong passions ,

shorten life. Strong-bodied men often die young—weak men live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength and the weak have pone to use. The latter take care of themselve, the former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the mind and temper. The strong are apt to break, or, like the candle, to run; the weak, to burn out. he inferior animals which live, in general, regular and temperate lives, live generally their prescribed term of years. he horse lives twenty-five years ; the ox fifteen or twenty; the lion about twenty; the dog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the guinea-pig six or seven years. These numbers allbear a similar proportion to the time the animal takes to grow toits fullsize. But man, of the animals, is oue that seldom comes up to the average. He ought to live a hundred years, according to this physiological law, for five times twenty are one hundred ; but instead of that, he scareely reaches, on an average, four times his growing period; the cat six times; and the rabbit even eight times the standard of measurement. The reason is obvious— man is not only the most irregular and the most intemperate, but the most laborious and hard-worked of all apimals, He is also the most irritable of all »ni- mals; and there is reason to believe, though we cannot tell what an animal sceretly feels, that more than any other animal man cherishes wrath to keep it warm and consumes himself with the tire of his own secret reflections.

A doctor went out for a day’s hunt ing, and on coming home complained that he hadn’t killed anything. “ That's because you didn’t attend to your le- gitimate business,” said his wile.

It is the confession of a widower, who has been thrice married, that the first wife curses a man’s romance, the second teaches him humility, and the third makes him a philospher.

That was a remarkable prayer which Spurgeon made when asked to say

race at a banquet, “ O Lord, we thank Thee that we don’t have sucha good dinner as this every day, for we should surely be made ill.”

A political speaker accused a rival of “unfathomable meanness,” and then rising to the occasion, said: “ IT warn him not to persists in his disgraceful course, or he'll find that two of us can play at that game.”

Josh Billings says: “ 1 wouldn't give ten cents a yard for all the pedigrees in this world; ifa man haz got a level head on his shoulders, and an honest hate in his body, he has got all the pedigree Tam in search ov.”

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 POKOUS 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. 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.

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- —_— ina porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed 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, _ 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, ask your druggist for

R. 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 for 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 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.
