his heart gave way all at once. He was carried, loud in lamentation, into the store, and sect in the warmest place in the midst of a sympathetic din that confused him stili more. The most in- genious questioning and cross-questioning i failed to extract any further information than that his name wes Taffy, that he lived with Gran’pa Was’burn, and that he had come to California on the ears to find his papa.

Then he began to feel very comfortable, and al! the things and the clerks and the peeple he had been watch- ing gradaully seemed to mingle and melt together, His eyelids drepped slowly and Taffy was asleep.

How long he slept he could not have told; but he was awakened by voices talking, it seemed to him in his ear. He lazily opened his eyes, and saw close by the pile of blankets, against which his back was leaning, a tall, pleasant-looking man with black whiskers,

“You must put in two pairs of the picest ones,” he was saying. ‘With the dress pattens and the roll of cotton cloth, they’ll make something of a load.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been & tire 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 Porovs 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. Ali 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 ‘nstant 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 effeeted 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 baek, and all such cases as Sees required the use of plasters orliniment.
