MEssRs. THos. ALLCooK Co.-Please send,
with dispatch. twelve dozen Allcocks Porous Plas-
ters. Our daily experience confirms their very su-
perior excellence. At this moment of writing
rnsn applies for one, who. By ENHANCEMENT in the
shaft of machinery, had both his legs broken spine
severely injured, and was for near'y year entirely
helpless. This man found relief very soon by the
application of plaster to lis spine. He was soon
enabled to work, and now he labors well as ever.
He would cheerfully paw SIS for single Plaster if
they could not he ha at lower rate. am sur
orised that surgeons do not make of these per-
forated plasters to the exclusion of all others. as
their hexblity and adhesiveness are greatly in ad-
vance of all other plasters with which l am ac-
quainted; while the perforations peculiar to them
rendered them greatly superior to all others for
dinary surgical uses. Knowing the plasters to be
so usef l. have no scruples that my sentiments
should be known.

"THNGs IS WoRKIN'."-It has been pref
ty generally reported that the soldiers had
no friends amongst "Copperheads;" that
no one would protect them but "Republi-
cans;" that if the ''truly loyal" did not
come to the aid of soldier in difficulty he
would not be aided. Night before last a
red-hot Republican struck one-armed
soldier in the face with his fist, and was
knocked down for it by tone of the worst
Copperheadsi in the business" How's that?
