Porous PlssteYs.

Porous plasters have been much improved re-
Gently in BENsoN's OAPcINR PLASTER, BY 3
new method of treating the rubber so that Il
contains more electricity than formerly, one Of
the qualities for which . porous plaster has been
especially valued, and by the addition Of Gap
cine, which causes the plaster to set immedi-
stely and makes 1t the most reliable remedy
known fer colds, rheumatism, laueness Of the
back and muscles, kidney complaint, or any Of
the diseases for which q porous plaster or Hni-
ment has been used. The manufacturers are
pleased to learn that there Is g large class Of
conscientious druggists who, having become con-
vinced ef the great merit OF BENsoN's CAPcINE
PLASTER, recommend It in preference to all
others. OF such are Z. Drehn, Newark, N. J.;
Chas. Althan and NJ. NJ. Cook, Brooklyn, N. Y:
Thompson, Lilly Co., Baltimore, No; Robert
Powers Richmond, Va. Vincent, of Broadway,
Brooklyn, says "he recommends no osher;"
Quick & Berry, Terre Haute, Ind, say they
they are much superior to ordinary porous
plasters;r' Cole & Flynn, DanvIlle, Va, say
"they have given satisfaction IN every case;" w.
T. Weber, Springfield, Mass, says, They con-
stitute an advertising medium in themselves"
Thus speak many others. The manufacturers
gists, acting from pecunisry motives, as not so
large proht Is made on them as en- ordinary
porous plssters, have used their influence to per-
suade their customers to substitute some other
srticle in place Of BENsoS's CAPCISE PLASTER.
When you ask for BENsoS's CAPcINE PLASTER
be sure you get nothing else. Price, rs cents.

A Further Test Of the Rod.
From the Territorial Enterprise ]

After a wordy warfare of some
length between Mr.. Peck and the
gentleman in regard to the merits
Of the rod, Mr.. Peck told his disbe-
lieving friend that he might take
the instrument and go out alone
and test it. The implacable skeptic
took the rod and struck out to IN
vestigate, taking with him q COM
panion or two. After trying the rod
in a few places as they walked along
without getting any response, they
concluded to go down to the Con-
solidated Virginia miro where the,
knew they would be over spot
where there lay millions in silver
and gold. Here Mr.. jackson tried
the machine" and to his astonish.
ment found that he could mo more
hold it than he could hold q steam
boat" Two of the party then got
hold Of the rod and found it too
much for both. 1t was all the same,
the rod was bound to have its own
way. When the party went down
to the Consolidated Virginia they
felt % good deal ashamed of the
rod" and of their mission, but on
their way home they held the "in-
fernal thing" at arms length and
looked upon it with great respect.
We do not believe in Peck's
"forked stick" but these are the re-
ports of parties here who undertook
to Investigate" it..
