A Buffalo Alderman astonished the board, in a meeting for consideration as to the building of the new jail, by remarking : “I makes der motion as der new jail be built on der same spot as der old jail what's now standing ; dat saves der money for der land, and [ makes der motion as der old jail shall not be pull down till der new jail is built, so ve vill not be mitout der jail.

The other Sunday a four year old asked her mother for a present to carry to her teacher. Her mother thought that she referred to the missionary

snny, and provided her accordingly. But this did not satisfy the little lady. She said : “The children all had pre sents. The teacher called their names and they said “ present, ”’ and when she called my name I hadn't any present and I couldn’t say anything, and so to- day I must carry one.”

radcliffe attended an intimate friend, declaring that he would receive no fee. When the eure was complete the pa- tient said: “I have putevery day’s fee in this purse, my dear doctor; nor must your goodness get the better of my gratitude.” Well,” said the doctor, “single I could have refused the guineas, but altogether they are ir: resistible.”’

“ JJandsome is that handseme does,” quoted a Chicago man to his wife the other day. “ Yes,’ replied she in a winning tone, as she held out her hand ; “for instanee,a husband who is always ready to handsome money to his wife.” The moralizer was cornered, and. this is why the wife will appear at ehurch with a bran new bonnet.

Howard Paul relates that in a mo- ment of wild forgetfulness he asked a well-known London actress, who makes up skilfully, her age. Her reply was frank. “I have four ages,” she re- plied, with animation ; “the family archives unfortunately proclaimed that I am fifty; by daylight I pass for thirty six; by gas light not more than thirty ; and with all my war-paint on, in soft light and no rude glare, I pass for five-and-twenty.”’

The Greatest Medical Diseovery: 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 eaused 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 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- ee in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures 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, 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

ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

YR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate a 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.

sk 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,
