UBBER and CAPCINE.

There is scarcely branch OF human indus
try in which India Rubber has not in some
form found its way. Although widely known
and used, but few are aware OF its medicinal
Virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that it is natur-
al reservoir Of electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound.
Owing to this fact It has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
matism that were invulnerable to drugs.
II has also been discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
asper rihc for Pulmonary complaints and cures
many forms OF Consumption and Lung dis
eases. Combined with Capcine it is unparai-
leled as Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted it on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most effectual way of using the article
ID in the form OF perforated plaster. The
extensive use of ordinary Perfoi ated or Por-
ous Plasters, is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the Or
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowly-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pain or TO effect cure.
A celebrated Physician Of New York. who
has long made the medical properties OF Rub
Der study has succeeded in making great
Improvement in Porous Plaster by introduc-
ing Capcine, which overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in a
fow moments or hours. that whicl 1t former
ly required daysor weeks.
Capcine is the most valuable ingredient
| ever used as an external remedy. Itoperates
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 1t In hand. and by bringing
Capcine Plaster to the attention OF Physi-
| clans, have met with unprecedented success
The article 10 known as BENSON'S CAP
CINE PLASTER. The price Is the same az
| the ordinary Porous Plaster, 2o cents. Every
Druggist has them.

Dishonest Merchants.

The Hindoo merchants of Calcutta
are described as the most wary, willy
aud unprincipled people in the world.
The persistence of these fellows in the
face of reprimand and encouragement
when person comes to make trade
with them is really remarkable. They
will leave you as you sternly refuse to
buy, only the next moment to assail
you again with lower offers and fresh
batch of reasons why you should
purchase, even following your carriage
and attempting by every artifice they
command to strike bargain on run.
You cannot shake them off. They
make applications for admission to
your hotel room.
II their requests are granted, you
will have stacks Of goods OF all sorts
laid out before you, with dozen
dealers or their clerks persuading and
clamoring for your patronage. Even
the India shawl trade is thus carried
on at private houses and hetels. One
must be sharp at bargaining, ,and know
something of the value of the articles
he would purchase if he is not we'll
taken in and done for by these In
dian tradesmen. They are smart and
sharp, and in the diplomacy of trade
it would be difficult to find superiors
of the heather Hindoo.
One of them, leading shawl mer-
chant, reputed to be wealthy, called
upon God to witness that his statement
was true as to the cost of a shawl
Very we'll" was the reply, "but you
don't believe in God; you are a Hin
doc" "Yes," he quickly responded,
"Hindoo God and yeur God all same;
make me Offer" The persistent heath
en-, after all his solemn invocation to
the Deity, confessed that he had lied,
by dropping 500 from theprice he had
| named.
He then wanted to leave the article
for further negotiation, since his last
offer was not acceded to, and he could
only be got rid of by the sharpest IN
timatiOn that he must leave the room.
With bland smile mingled with an
expression of sorrow aud disappoint-
ment, he bowed low, executed grace.
fully polite salaam, and slowly with.
drew.
