Indisputable.

The greatest remedy of modern times, for
the immediate alienation of pain and positive
quick cure, is without doubt, Benson's capcine
porous plasters. The public appreciates arti-
cles of true merit. Thousands of physi-
clans and druggists speak in glowing terms of
their great curative properties, who know
them to be superior to any other known medicine,
and who unhesitatiDgiy recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronic and local
diseases which other porous plasters simplyre-
lieve. Rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
continuous aches and pains, pleurisy, lumbago,
sciatica, and all diseases in which porous
plasters have been valued, are by Renson's
capcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation Is without a
parallel in the history of true medicine; their
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisous. Try them and
you will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.

times on one side, sometimes on the other,
and often on both, giving rise to disagreesble
"stufy" sensation in the head, accompanied
by occasional violent and prolonged paroxysms
of sneezing. Again, distressing feeling of
fullness or compression is experienced above

in the face, forehead or temples, or on the top
or back of the head, sometimes of so severe

The sense of smell Is generally blunted or en-

District, Mr.. Stanton, and the special assistant
attorney, Judge Warden, the latter, on Friday
last, rendered his resignation to the Commis-
sioners, to take effect at their convenience.
That difference, we understand, arose out of
the bringing against the District by Judge
Warden, since he became special assistant at
torney, of a suit (Harkness, trustee, vs.. thr
District of Columbia in which he was re-
tanned BY the plaintiff before the appointment
he now resigns was rendered TO him.
