Ciry CLERK,

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Hra,

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diiferent diseases has been cansed by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globeresort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S Carsicce™m Ponrovs 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 serviee than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Al) other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effeet a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages haye thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always beem more or Jess 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 prescribs them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as havé required the use of plasters ; orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, znd you want a certain cure, ask yourdruggist for Pr. MELVIN’s CarsicuM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictionstof its wonderful effects. Althongh powerful and uick in its action, you can rely on its safet oi the most delicate person te wear, as it is free from Jead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- arv plasters, Ono trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELYIN’s CAPst- cuM PoRoOUS PLASTER, and take no other; ov, 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.
