Of Puhlic Interest.

For thirty years there has been noimproyement
in tho composition Of porous plaster. Tho re-
cent discovery Of Capcine and its addition to an
improved porous plaster has introduced to the
consumers and the public an article Of progress.
The objection to the ordinary article Is It's slow
action. BESsoN's CAPCINE Porous PLASTER
overcomes this great objection by eftecting in
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ac-
complishes in days and weeks of continuous wear
BENsoN'S CAPCINE Porous PLAsTEES are pre-
ferred to all others on The following grounds:
Eirst-Tbeir composition Is OF an improved na-
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
cine-vhich as a powerful and unerring
specific, has never been equaled in the
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost I'm
mediate relief, aad cure more speedily
apd with greater certainty than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
Second-Ihey possess all the merit of the ordi-
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficulties
for which they have been esteemed in as
many hours as the ordinary article
effects In days and weeks Of continuous
wear.
Third-They are a genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paration. skilliully combined, of the
highest order OF merit purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
poisons, indorsed by physicians, aud are
In no sense patent medicine.

A delegation Of property owners on South Capt.

that the Commissioners will assent to this propo-

the District government nothiHg except the clay
which would otherwise be used in nlling up

Mr.. II. r. Hsrens:
DEAE SIR: In the year 1860, while residing at
Portland, Ne, i was affiictet with Cancer on my
nose, which mads rapid progress. All of the best
physicians there were consulted, without any ben
thI. Fsr period OF six years it continued to ia
create and extend, until II was invading my whole
system. l suffered the most excrutiating pains,
until my nose was nearly gone, and found It was
appTo2e hing a fatal termination. Being burned
out of house and home by the great nre OF 1866,
moved here, when was entTeated to try the Indian
Blood Remedy, VEGETISE, and suffering greatly,
without hope or confidence in relief by any medi-
cine, finally consented 10 try il; and only those
Eh9 have a similar suffering can realize my
feelings when, after two months trial, found
the oEen sore commencing TO heal. Gaining con-
ndence that the disease was being successfully
combatted by the VEGErINR, (for took no other
medicn faithfully continued its and in six
months the cancer was healed and my health fully
restored.
am confident If had uGed VEGETINE in the
early stages OF the disease 1t would have arrested
Its progress and saved years OF great sufe ring.
desire simply that othSrs may be benefited and at
tfnion called Its usefulness and in the interest
Of suffering humanity only, i Gheerfully add my
testimonial TO Its entire success IN my case, and
though have lost nearly all Of nv nose, my face is
entirely healed and enjoy good health. My hus-
