Ten Practical Reasons

why BensoI's CaFc!ne Porous Plasters are the
best:
!. Because they contain Capcine and are the
only plasters that do contain It. 2 Because Cap
cine is admitted by physicians and chemists every
where to be the best remedy known for the all
ments in which o porous plaster has been used.
9. Because Cspcine is superior to electricity.
l. Because Capcine causes the plaster to relieve
plaster, liniInent or compound. s. Because they
are free from dangerous metallic or mineral poi.
and skilled chemists. 7. Because they cure where
other plasters simply relieve. O. Because they

VEGETINE.
Judgment Of the Public!

During the past five years the public have care
fully observed the wonderful cures accomplished
from the use Of Negetine. From Its use many an
afflicted sufferer has been restored to perfect health,
after having expended q small fortune in procuring
medical advice and obtaining poisonous mineral
medicines.
Itis now justly remarked by all classes of people
that Vegetine holds higher position In the estima-
and 1t has won Its great reputation and immense de-
mand from actual merit.
Its medical properties Alternative, Tonic, Sol
vent and Diuretic. There Is no disease fthe human

Attacking an Officer.

About noon yesterday three or four colored men
got into serious fight at the corner Of Fifth and
Ridge streets. Oficer McNeill, who resides near
by, attempted to arrest the men, when the COM
batants turned upon him and beat him quite Sc
verely. He Fought them brayely, but the men
made their escape. Other officers arrived and
pursued the offenders, and found one Of the men,
named Wash. Meredith, concealed between the
ceiling and roof Of house in Prather's alley. 1t
required some strategy and hard blows to arrest
him, but he was finally captured and locked up In

A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. H. x. StereRs:
DEAR SIR: Though 8 stranger, want to inform
you what Vegetine has done for me.
Last Christmas Scrofula made its appearance in
my systen-largely running ulcers appearing on
me, follows: One on each Of my arms, one on my
thigh, which extended to the seat; one my head,
which eat into the skull bone; on my left leg,
which became so bad that two physicians came 10
amputate the limb, though upon consultation con-
GUIDED not to DO So my whole body was SO full of
scrOfua they deemed 1t advisable to cut the sore,
which was painful beyond description, and there
8 quart of matter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave me up to die, and said they
could do no more for me. Both of my legs were
drawn up to my seat, and 1t was thought If did get
up again would be cripple for life.
When in this condition saw Yegetne advertised,
and commenced taking IL in March, and followed on
with II until had used sixteen bottles, and this
morning. am gsing to plough corn, well man.
All my townsmen say 1t Is a miracle to see me
around walking and working.
In conclusion, will add when was enduring
such great suffering from that dreadful disease,
Scrofuls prayed the Lord above to take me out Of
this world, but As Fegetine has restored to the
blessings of health, desire more than ever to live,
that may be of some service to my fellow-men,
and know of no better way to aid suffering human
with an earnest hope that you will publish it, and
cation which may receive therefrom.

The Democrats in the House. while
scalously endeavoring to rid the
country Of official corruption, have
brought about just q little of that
cbnoxious thing themselves. To be
sure it is a small affairs mere trifie
yet it is the freshest thing that has
come u hana aasess asah@ line. Il
illustrates very forcibly the good
that might possibly flow from a
change in the tenure of ofiice-what
wholesome results might come to
the country by the keeping in of
we,l.tried and reliable officials until
good canse is shown why they should
be removed. We quote from The
New York Post:
During the administration OF Pres
idcnt Polk, gentleman named Bar
clay was elected by the House OF
Representatives as Journal Clerk.
He held the position for thirty years
under every change of parties in the
House, because he was honest capa-
bic, courteous and did his duty.
But, on the organization of the pres
ent House. Mr., Barclay was turned
out to make room for strong par
tisan Democrat, one Charles IL.
Smith. A few weeks after the in
stallment of Smith, in his post he
was detected in sending circulars to
Town Clerks of New Hampshire, Of
fering to each of them ten per cent.
of the fees for colleeting claims un-
der bill For the equalization Of
bouu.ies, on condition that they
would send the claims to him, he to
retain the other ninety per cent.
This was done before the bin passed,
but in anticipation that it would be-
come law. The House heard of it
and put veto upon the speculation.
1t should have dismissed the specu-
lating employee and restored the
honest man whom it turned out with
out cause. This would have been
proof of intention to reform, at any
rate, if not of the article itself.
