The loud voice from the platform awoke the child and made it ery, and its mother gotupand was leaving the hall, when the minister stopped her by say- ing: “ My good woman don't go away. The baby desen’t disturb me.” “It isn’t for that, sir, [ leave,” she replied, with a perfect unconsciousness of sar- easm, “It’s you disturb the baby.” A novel mode of advertising fora wife has been adopted by an inhabitant of a provincial town. A photograph of the gentleman is placed in the window of a shop-keeper and underneath is the following notice :—‘‘ Wanted a female ecmpanion to the above. office.” Sidney Smith once said that clergy- men might be divided into three classes —Nimrods, Ramrods, and Fishingrods. It was not a bad epigram, but it has heen beaten by an American, who says that railways are built on three guages —broad guage, narrow guage, and mortguage. Don’t tell a man you sweat. It is vulgar. Inform him that you are being deprived of the saline and oleaginous fluids of your material substance through the excretories of your pel- luoid cuticle, with 2 sensible conden. sation of moisture upon the superficial exterior.

BEBLOoISs, Sole Agent for Prince Edward Island, May 18S—2aw The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or siace the Commencement of the Christian Era. There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many ditferent diseases has been éaused 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 ordigary 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, Al) 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- tagea in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enres effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CApsicUM PoroUs PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actnally preseribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, gen in the side and back, and all such cases 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. MELYIN’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 tree from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture éf 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 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.
