An officer named Verdier was cele- brated in his bets. None of his comrades could boast of ever having been successful and so at last no one cared to bet with him. One day Verdier was transferred to another regiment, but the fame of his peculiar luck had already spread before him, After a supper tendered him by his comrades on the evening of his arrival, when champagne had made its appearance, General B called out :

“Tt is really true, Verdier, that you win every bet ?”

‘Yes, General.”’ ea

« But how the deuce do you do it?

“Qh, very simply. Iam a physiogno- mist and I bet only when Iam quite sure ?

“You are a physiogaomist ? Well, what, for instance, cap you find to read in

face ?”’ me Ican see,” said Verdier promptly, “that the old wound in your side has

broken out again,”’ the

out

‘* Nonsense !”’ thundered General. ‘ But—”

“No, ‘but,’ atter I assure you, Sir.” —

«Perhaps you do not like to speak of it— Perhaps a duel—” ;

“ Diable ? you won’t believe me ? What will you bet.”

“ Anything you please, General.”

«Five hundred tranes.’’

“The gentlomen present are the wit- nesses.”

With these words the General proceed- ed without more ade to divest himself of his coat and shirt, when a close serutiny by all present revealed the fact that there was no trace of a wound of a sword or ball.

“You have lost your bet, Verdier! shouted the General, resuming his gar meats.

‘©T have indeed lost this once. Men may err sometimes. Here are the five huudred franes.’’

With a chuckle the General put the} money in his pocket. After he had reached home he at once wrote to his old chum, the General in command of Verdier’s regiment :

‘* Dear friend, the story of Verdier’s luck is all humbug. He has just made a bet of five hundred francs that I had a wound in my side, and of course he Jost it?"

The answer came back :

“Your naivete is truly charming! Your winning the five hundred francs cost me two thousand, which Verdier bet me, on the day of his leaving, that he would make you, on the first evening of meeting, take off your shirt in the presenze of his fellow-officers, and that you yourself would inform me of the tact.”

(CAPSICUM) AP = iKeae OROUS PENSE

The Greatest Medical Discovery 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 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 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- tages 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 eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Pr. 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 guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSsI- cuUM 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.
