OF Public Interest.

For thirty years there has been noimprovement
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 UAPCINR Porous PLASTER
overcomes this great objection BY efiectfng In Q
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ao-
complishes in days and weeks Of continuous wear.
BRNsoNs CAPcINE Porous PLAsTERs are pro-
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-
cipe-which, as O 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, and cure moro speedily
and with greater certainty than any
Second-They 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 IS
many hours Ss the ordinary article
effects In days and weeks Of continuous
wear.
Third-They are genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paration, skillfully combined, Of the
highest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
poisons, indorsed by physicians, and are
In no sense patent medicine.
