The medical value of a mustard plaster is un-
derstood in every family. Much time is spent In
preparing poultice, and often the mustard is Of
poor quality and will not act, causing great ssf-
fering. This trying Inconvenience is now per-
fectly overcome by Benson's Prepared Mustard
Plaster. 1t is a great improvement on the ordi-
nary article. 1t is very Clean and can be applied
and removed without discoloring the clothing or
soiing the skin 1t does not deteriOrate with age.
1t is always reliable, as only the best quality Of
mustard is used in its preparation. 1t is ready
for use at any moment by simply dipping It in
water. 1t is sold in halfyard pieces, at rs cents
per roll, by all druggists. Sent by mail, on re-

the country the proprietor has determined to lower
his charges that ali may be able to derive the bene

They need no recommendation to Washingtonians,

through the thousands who have been brought from
death's door to renewed health by the use of their
wonderful medicinal waters. Since last summer the

been thoroughly snalyZed by Prof. II. b. Harden,

shows 1t to be fully strong as "Rawleyn of car
