A Female Husband.

Residents of Woburn will remetaber a masculine your ded here a few years Simond’s shoe stock factory, by the name of Sarah M. Pollard. She be- longed in Binghampton, N.} ., and has relatives in Woburn. She seems to have led an eventiul lite since leaving and just now the California

neo, Working at

our town, : ; and Nevada papers are full of her lat- est sensation, a2 no less startling enter: prise than marrying a youug woman of Tuscarora, Nevada. Three years ago she weit to Colorado, and was aut a fair in Boulder, where she was deserib- ed as alpine shape, brown velvet band il- round the crown—the only trimming ; a white stand-up collar encircled her throat. In her hand she carried a huge brown portmanteau. Iler upper lip bore the vestige of a moustache. A whisper ran round, ‘She looks more like a man than a woman.’ To several on board the train, the journey 1s to this day a horrible nightmare, in which the chief figure is a gaunt, man- nish woman, perpetually advocating and advancing the most radical sent- ments in a hoarse, gutteral voice.’

She remained some days in Boulder, and then went to Nevada. At Tusca- rora she appeared in male attire, and, after & short acquaintance, captivated one of the belles of the town, a Miss Marancy Hughes. The young lady's friends ‘opposing the match, the couple eloped, and were married last Septem- ber. The bride was not long in dis- covering the deception of her husband, but was induced, by fears of personal injury, to conceal the facts, and they lived together until a fortnight ago, when Pollard being absent from town, her wife revealed the secret. Sarah has been arrested on a charge of per- jury, and the injured wife writes to the local paper to know if there is not some law by which she can be punished for the imposition she has practiced. Miss Pollard is said to have adopted male garments to escape arrest for some ¢rime committed in another State, and determined to marry to add to the success of her disguise.— Woburn Journal.

thousand times better it is to soothe by kindly stories, by explaining pictures, or by providing it with new toys. We have many a time, says a famous doc- tor, in our professional experience as to sick children, found more benefit to be derived from a beautiful or interest- ing toy, than from a dose of physic. The greatest humanity a mother can exhibit in respect to her sick child, is to divert it, divert it, divert it, in all pleasing ways possible, as we, ourselves, who are larger children, feels some- times really sick when a cheerful face and much loved friend has come in, and, before we know it, we have for- gotten what was the matter with us.

The Greatest Medical Discovery siuce the Creation of Man, or sirce the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never haa 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 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 plasiers 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.

Physiciansin all ages have thorough!y tested and well know the effect of Capsicun; 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- 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 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 aecertain cure, ask your druggist for

oR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, yor 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 Staies or Canadas.
