Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster,

A. no time in the history OF true medicine
has an article appeared which has met with
greater approval and success than Benson's
Capcme Plaster Why they are preferred to
all other porous plnsters, Is owing to their
improved composition; they act instantan-
eously cure speedily and effectually
Physicians and the general public who
acknowledge the great benefits derived from
the use OF the ordinary porous plaster. how
ever, maintain that heir action 10 not suiflci-
emily prompt, requiring time, patience and
continuous wear to effect cure. Benson's
Capcne Plaster overcomes this difficulty by
accomplishing in q few hours, that which it
takes any other Plaster as many days
Although recent dlscovery-Capclne

uShly eftications remedy ever discovered.
Incorporating Capclne in an improved
Porous Plaster has been accomplished after
repeated solicitations from the medical fra
ternit! and is now prescribed by them with
Unprecedented success; especially In Rheu-
matisn, Pleurisy, stubborn Colds, Kidney
Complaints. and all diseases for which
Porous Plaster has been used.

THE VIRGINIA EARTHQUAKES.
An Appalling yisitation-The Roar
ing and Rocking Accompo MED by
Electrical Phenomena.

Mayor kiAy. of Richmond, says Of
the shock on Wednesday night =" In
all the sound, and the movement
seemed to me to come distinctly from
the east and move toward the west, and
in all the motion was an irregular shah-
ing, not n swaying to and fro, circum-
stance which, even at the time, struck
ME as singular, in view Of the definite
east and west direction which the earth
quake appeared to follow. | do not
think can better describe tho roaring
that accompanied the vibration of the
earth than by saying that it resembled
the sound OF Il chimney on fire /; but
the whole was so unlike anything had
ever witnessed or felt that never
thought of ascribing it to any other
source than an earthquake. Such tur-
moil in the atmosphere, such a tremor
on the earth, trembling of the house
so violent and protracted. could have no
other origin and | shared the alarm
which may well be entertained when
the foundations of the earth are felt
to tremble.'
Surveyor Reed, Of Henrico, says
After the second shock / went out
to view the appearance Of the heavens.
! The sky was clear, not vestige of .
cloud to be seen, but there was a dingy
murkiness about the atmosphere that
| caused the stars to shine with some
what reddish light, and those near the
horizon to have q faint nebulous ap-
pearance. My children are all hard
sleepers, yet they were all instantly
aroused by the first shock, and desert
bed their sensations by lkening them
to the effect produced by powerful el-
ectric current. About an hour previous
to the shocks l had walked out, and
while out noticed several faint flashes
of light, which appeared and disappear
ed so rapidly that was unable to To-
cate them. l had often seen flashes of
this sort on former occasions, thought
nothing about it at the time. These
flashes, though entirely unlike any
form of lightning, were evidently OF
eclectric origin, but whether they had
any connection with the earthquake
that followed do not presume TO say.
Some old soldiers described the sound
as very similar to the noise made by the
passage of heavy army wagons. Stepn-
en- Putney remarked that he remsmber-
ed the impression msde upon his mind
the morning that General Lee attacked
the Fedsrals before Richmond. the ter
rible rattling of the windows and tho
shaking of the houses, but that was not
TO be compared to the effect on him of
the earthquake.
