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 deen 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 Ponrovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act qhicker 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.

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, ~~ in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you 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 tee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your drugzist for Dr. MEtvrx’s CApst- 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 apy address in the United States or Canadas.

SYDNEY COAL.

———-:0: ———~-

REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

fHVHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA- TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been Reduced to $2 per ton of 2246 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers, The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re- cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale. It is a well-know fact that for many years = the prices of other Cape Breton coals have en regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while itis true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been» pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin quehties of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and ¢onvenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Minin regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time -to duce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coal as SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). «ll these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sTANDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.
