RUBBER AND CAPCINE.

There is scarcely a branch OF human indus
try in which India Rubber has not in some
form found its way. Although widely known
ana used, but few afe aware of its medicinal
viitues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that it ia a natur-
al reservoir OF electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound.
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with sue
cess lii curing Ne.vOu complaints and Rheu-
matlsm thht were invulnerable to drugs.
II has also been discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
asperlnc for pulmonary complaints and cures
many forms OF Consumption and Lung dis
eases. Combined with Capcine 1t is unparal.
leled as Pnin Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted 1t on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most efrectual way of using the article
Is In the form of perforated plaster. Ihe
extensive use OF Ordinary Perfoia ated or Por.
GUS Plasters, is u testimony to it's merit.
The only objection ever found with the or
binary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
TOO slowly-requirng days and continuous
wear to relieve pain or to effect cure.
A celebrated Physician of New York, who
has lohx made the medical properties OF Rub
Der study has succeeded in making great
improvement In Porous Plaster by introduce
Ing Capcine, which overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in a
few moments or hours, that which it former
ly required days or weeks.
Capcine ls tho most valuable ingredient
ever used as an external remedy. 1t operates
with astonishing vigor and relieves pain i'm
mediately. Its curative properties have be-
come so famous that an enterprising firm in
New York took II in hand. and by bringing
Capcinc Plaster to the attention Of Physi
clans, nave met with unprec edented success
The article is known as BENSON'S CAP

THE WASHINGTON EXPERIMENTAL,
GARDEN. petition has been presen-
ted to the United States Senate by Mr..
Sergeant, praying for the granting to
women the right tov ote in the District
of Columbia. Washington seems to
be a favorite field for trying expert
ments in suffrage. Congress first tried
therein universal negro suffrage, and
finally, not only put an end tr it, but
deprived white men of the privilege
also. Let them now see whether thew
will come out with women any better
than with the colored population. 1t
would be unique and refreshing
spectacle to see the male citizens of u
city, and that city the national capitol,
excluded from voting, and the women
only admitted to the ballot box. Does
MIR. Sargent propose, also, that they
shall be the only persons voted for?-
That would be petticoat government
with a vengeance. We should like to
see it tried.
