The People who Drink. that nearly two-thirds
Phvsicians say | in one way
of their male patients suffer or anothee from alcoholic poison, N» close observer, says the ew York Sun, will be disposed to doubt this. From the low shops on South and Wost streets, along the line of fashion- able saloons on and near Broadway, 10 the vicinity of the post-office, in the re- t-eats that gird the Astor LLouse, in the several places of note on printing a sjaare, and in the magnidicent marie pulaces that fringe Madison square, not omiting the frescoed club room and the dingy slop shops of the extreme east side--from the first te the last, and in them all, the same story of intempe:- ance mty be learned. Ani who are the dvinkers ? Bova, young mea, middle-aged men, and old men.

Jan. 31, 1878—
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.
t is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELYVIN’s CArsicust Ponors PLASTERS are acknowledyed 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 plasiers are slow of action. and require to bs worn continually to effect acure; but with t'rese it_is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied ihe patient will feel its effect. ,
Physicians in all ages have thoronghly teated and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application: but it ig only of very recent date that its advan- taves in a porous plaster haye been discovered, Being, however, ceuvineed of the wonderful eres effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPsiCcUM PorROvS 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 reyiired the use of plasters orlitiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
RW. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. Youcan hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety foi the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- arv plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits. and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. Mrtyry’s CApst- CUM PoROUS PLASTER, and take no other; o7, 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.
