it appears that yellow fever is still preva- lent in the Southern States, and has not been eradicated by the cold weather. Physicians contend that the exhuming and removal of bodies is the cause of the reappearance of the disease, and in consequence of this and the ex- esedingly mild state of the weather, the Health Commissioners of St. Louis have ordered that no more bodies be disinterred from quarantine. o_> oa —_

One night Jones came home very late, and found his wife evidently prepared to admin- ister a caudle lecture. Instead of going to bed he took a seat, and, resting his elbows on his knees, seemed absorbed in griel, sighing heavily, and uttering such exclamations as **Poor Smith, poor fellow.” Mrs. Jones, moved by curiosity, said sharply: ‘* What’s the matter with Smith*”’ *‘ Ah,” said Jones, «his wife is giving him fits just now.” Mrs. Jones let her husband off that time.

When a woman is named ‘‘ enough” there must be a good reason for it. Dr. Drysdale, President of the Malthusian League, says that he once met in an English hospital a young woman of that name. She was the thirteenth daughter of her mother, and was named ‘* Enough” by a justly incensed father, who evidently thought that matters had gone far enough, and that a line must be drawn. The mother of ‘‘Enough” did not take the hint, but gave birth to nine more children, making twenty-two in all.

Here is a story they are telling with great gusto in the studio. Whether it is true or not I do not know, but at any rate it is studied from the life.

SS ee - —— OROUS EASTER Wea NO a The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the

Cammencement of-the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diiferent diseases has Deen 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 CArsicumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all whe have used them, te 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. Ali 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.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ 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, couvinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Mrtvin’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 orliaiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want ace*tain cure. ask your druggist for

IR. MELViN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

o1 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 7 hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MreLvry’s CAPstI- 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,
