An Arsenic Mine.

A man armed with a long iron hook pulls open an iron door, and you gaze with awe in the Dantesque heart of a huge, fierce furnace, the white-hat con- tents slowly turning round and ever falling in cascades of yellow fire. It is found that at the works on Denvon, sulphur in the pyrites is enough to keep the furnace, when once heated, burning without other fuel. The pro- duet? Here it is, a white heap of several tons of it lying in an open shed where everybody passes by. It is somie- thing like fine flour. One of the men dips thumb and finger loosely into the white powder, puts a quanuty’ into the palm of bis other hand, and brings it to us to look at, precisely as a miller shows a sample of flour, smoothing it with his forefinger. One expects every his tongue ;

a child probably would but the miners know better. All this white heap is arsenic; all these rows of barrels are filled with arsenic. More than 2000 tons a year are sent out from this one mine, to be used mainly in those brilliant modern dies by which our women and children can dazzle the sunshine at a cheap expense. Are they safe to wear? My chemistry book do not sav yes or no. But in one book I have chanced to open I find the fellow- ing remarks: “ Arsenious acid —white oxid of arsenic, or White arsenic. This substance is of the highest importanec, as being the trequent agent of criminal or accidental poisoning. There ars few substances so much to. be teared, it be- ing almost tasteless; it can be mixed with articles of food and swallowed without discovery, and there is vo practically efficient antidote.” This in- noeent looking white powder, this po- tent and fatal substance, of which your chemist must not sell you a dose with- out entering your name and address in a book; of which three grains weight will kill a man, was lying by one of the ordinary roads of the mine, in open sheds, in heaps breast-high. It was assured that no kind of harm ever comes of all this, save, skin eruptions to the work-peeple, and these rarely, but it gave one a shiver to see those white mounds.

A good way to keep hams through the summer is to wrap them in several thickness of ordinary wrapping paper, and then put in thick manilla sacks (such as millers use for flour); tie up tightly and hang in a convenient place

(CAPSICUM) FAT Cala Tn Cau:

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 eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that aver 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

dinary kind. All other plasters are slow

are a nuisanee, and could be will spared without being missed.

action, and we 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. as

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the éffect of Capsicum; and it hag always been more or less used as ® medical agent for an outward application >but it is only of very reeent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinted of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Metvrn’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 baek, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters erliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for 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 guarantee of its merits, and One plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr, MrELvin’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 States or Canadas.
