OF Public Intsrssr.

For thirty years there has been noimproyement
in the composition of . porous plaster. The 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 its slow
action. BENsoN's CAPcINE Porous PLASTER
oyerccmes this great objection by etfecting in q
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ac-
compIishes in days and weeks Of continuous wear.
BESsoNs CAPCINE Porous PLAsTERs are pre-
ferred to all others on the following grounds:
First-Their composition Is Of an improved na-
ture, and combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
cine-which, as powerful and unerring
specific, has never been equaled In tie
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost i'm
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
Secend-They possess all the merit Of the ordf-
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.
Thirt-They are q genuine pharmaceutical pre-
psration. skilltully combined, Of the
highest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
polsons, fndorsed by physicians, and are
In no sense patent medicine.

Newspaper Advertising Versus Advertising
Schemes.

Ever since the era Of advertising was inau-
gurated, business men rof all classes have been
made the victims OF certain class Of men who,
with fippant speech, and with persistency as
provoking as 1t would be admirable In better
cause, have persuaded them to enter into their
particular schemes. These schemes are nu-
merous, as many an advertiser can attest, and
when we weigh their influence in q calm, impair
tial manner, we shall become convinced that they
are o sublime fraud upor the too lenient adver-
tising public, and that the advertiser, when he
has submitted to the imposition, has literally
thrown his money away. -..
The schemes of these honey .ongued and metal.
visaged gentry, who besiege the unwary advsr-
tiser on every hand, and bore him into giving
them an "adn-uhich the advertiser generally
does in order to get rid OF him-are, as VIC have
heretofore mentioned, exceedingly numerous.

of second, II at all, and then carelessly thrown
away TO be trampled under foot. This Is de-
cideoly waste Of money onthe part Of the ad.
Then, again, we have the hotelregister scheme,
hotel card yertising scheme and the hotel card
numerous to mention. Now, what the honest ad-
vertisers want, and, indeed, what every honest
advertiser in the land wants, Is the greatest re-
turn for the amount Of money Invested. In order
to secure this there is but one reliable method,
and that is the newspaper, (fer which there Is q
demand because Of its WORTHY The American
