U IMPORTANT DISCOVER Y .--SoRE AND
IL INFLAMED Ewes CURED without pain OF the
application Of vitriol, and without the least in
juring the sight or appearance OF the eve, by
L. Deans Chemical Plaster. 1t is now about
four years since the proprietor introduced this
plaster to the attention Of the afflicted. It's
effect is not only to, prevent inflammation IN se-
we're cases Of burns and wounds of every de-
scnption but to cure inflammation both internal
and external at any stage Of its existence.
Its uniform effect in hundreds of cases abun-
dainty proves that, as snomedicine has been
introduced to the public possessing such pow
er to cure nfammatory diseases OF every kind,
not excepting 'infammatory rheumatism, salt
heum, fellons, fever sores, cancers or the Id.
e nation in the eyes; as the plaster now Of
fered. One very peculiar qualityof it is, that
it generally relieves the pain in few hours
after it is applied. For sore eyes shut the eye
and put the platter directly on the eye and
wear it (removing it once in twelve hours and
washing off the matter on the eye with cas-
tile soap) till the inflammation is entirely out,
say from three to ten days. The proprietor
never thought of applying it to sore eyes un-
til about two years since, when he applied it
to case in his family and was astonished at
the result. Since then he has appledit in ma
ny severe cases and 1t has uniformly effected a
cure and leaves the eye natural and free from,
any mfammatory appearance as though it had
not been sore. He fully believes that almost
every case of soreeyes may be cured by it in d
few days, except in cases of ntemperance.
a CERTIFICATES.
Mr.. e. Dean.--Sir, have used your Chena
ical plaster in six cases of fellens, all Of which
| cured; also several casee ofinhamatory rheu-
matism with like good success. ~ ~

Mayville N. Y. August SO, 1887.
Mr.. Il. Deda.--Sir, MIR. Rodolphus Brown,
my father-in-law, some time last fall, had a se-
we're attack of the inflammation in both eyes, SO
that he could not bear the light, and scarcely
see, after using various remedies for three
weeks and his eyes still groying worse, and SO
painful that he could not rest day or night, he
applied your chemical plaster and in few hours
his eyes were easy, and began to discharge
freely, and the inflammation began to disappear;
we continued the plaster for one week remo-
wing the inflammation, and his eyes assumed
their former appearance. We also applied in
one of the worst cases of fellon, which afforded
relief ina few hours SO that the individual had
a good nights rest. For six days and nights
previous he had not been free from excessive
pain and some of the time he had been distract
ed, with pain that he had to be held BY force.

BATH, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1885.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS The Ca
toctin Mountain, northwest of Frederick,
was on fire on Sunday last. The excessive
dryness of the leaves, grass and dead tim
Der, caused it to burn with great violence,
and at night-fall, on Sunday evening, it as
sumed very threatening appearance
The smoke hing over the adjoining plain
in dense cloud, and the flames were visi-
Bile for many miles. There are many wood
cutters houses scattered through the
mountain and we fear that some of these
and the humble Improvements by which
they are surrounded will be destroyed.
These fires in the mountains occur almost
every year, but the draught Of the present
season renders them unusually dangerous.

POETRY
CLING NOT TO EARTH.

SLllNo 4NOl ~ Ian
Cling not to earth-there's nothing there
However loved-howeyer fair,
But on its features still must wear
The impress of mortality.
This voyager on its boundless deep
Within its barque may smile Or sleep
But bear him on--he will not weep
To leave its wild uncertainty.
Cling not to earth--as well we may
Trust Asia's serpent's wanton play,
That glitters only to betray
To dea.h-or else to misery.
Dream not of Friendship-there may be
A word, smile, grasp 70. thee
But wait the hour OF need and sec
But wonder not-its fallacy.
Think not of Beauty-lke the rest
II bears lustre on its crest
But short the time ere stands confessed
Its falsehood-or its frailtY.
Then cling no more SO fondly on
The flowers Of earth around thee strown--
They'll do awhile to sport upon,
But not to love SO feryentIy.
