Ruhhar and Capcina.

Thsre is scarcely q branch Of human industry
In which India Rubber has not in some form
found its way. Although widely known and
used, but lew are aware Of its medicinal virtues
and great curative properties. Practical expert
ment has proven that It Is q natural reservoir Of
electricity, containing more than any known sub
stance or compound. Owing TO this fact IL has
been used with success in curing Nervous COM
plants and Rheumatism that were inyulnerable
to drugs.
1t has been discovered that India Rubber pos
sesses all the properties valuable as specific for
Pulmonary complaints, and cures many forms Of
Consumption and Lung diseases. Combined with
Oapcine 1t is unparalleled as o Pain Reliever,
whether external or internal. Nearly all the
surgeons have adopted 1t on account Of its great
healing properties.
The most efectual way of using the article is in
the form of q perforated plaster. The extensive
use of ordinary Perforated or Porous Plasters is q
testimony to its merit.
Rnbber Porous Plaster Is that It acts too slowly
requiring days and continuous wear to relieve pain
or to effect cure. ~ ..-
celebrated physician Of New York, who has
long made the medical properties Of Rubber a
ment in Porous Plasters by introducing Capcine,
which overcomes all the former objections, causing
the Plaster to do In o few moments or hours that
which T. sSs TsGuTsd dsSs o
used cs an external remedy. 1t operates with
astonishing vigor and relieves pain Immediately.
Its curative properties have become so famous
that an enterprislng frm in New York took II in
attention OF physicians have met with unprece-
dented success. The article is known as BESsoN's
CAPCINE PLASTER. The price is the same as the
ordinary Porous Plaster, Is cents. Every drug
gist has them.

SHOOTER ARRESTED.
Results of q Christmas Frolic.

The shooting of John E. Martin, Christmas
day, at the corner Of Twentieth and Z streets,
opposite the Western market, which OF the time
was supposed to have been an accident seems TO
have been done Intentionally. Martin and others
went that night into Gerhold's restaurant, in the
neighborhood, and, after refusing to pay for
drinks that they had ordered, made an assault
upon Gerhold and his wife. After the crowd had
left the restaurant and reached the point oppo-
site the west end Of the market the shot was
fired, which inflicted slight flesh wound In Mar
tins leg. That night q colored boy named Pier
shot in an alley In the rear OF the Arling-
ton hotel, and through some things that he heard
the boy was of the opinion that John Gerhold,
young son Of the restaurant keeper, shot him,
and accordingly swore out q warrant against the
latter and he was arrested. Gerhold denied any
knowledge of the affair, but admitted knowing
something Of the shooting of Martin. 1t Is sup
posed that after Martins crowd left the restau-
rant young Gerhold, having witnessed the as
sault made upon bis father and mother, followed
them TO the market and fired the shot. He will
have hearing In both cases tomorrow.

DR.. Christian, the resurreetionist, who has
created SO much excitement in this city the past
two or three years, has turned up in New York,
whereit appears he is engaged In the same cheer
ful pursuits as when he was committed to jail
here. 1t will be remembered that he was rele ased
in September last, on parole not to leave the ju-
risdiction of this court. This parole he violated
very soon, and he is now heard from through the
columns OF the New York World, which publishes
one OF his letters soliciting orders, as follows:
