Of PubIic Interest,

For thirty years there has been no inn
provement IN the composition of porous
plaster. The recent discovery of Cap
cine and its addition to an improved po-
rous plaster has introduced to the con-
sumers and the public, an article of pro-
gress. The objection to the ordinary ar
ticle is it, slow action. Benson's Capcinc
Porous Plaster overcomes this great OBJ
lection by eflccting In few hours what
the ordinary porous plaster accomplishcs
In days and weeks of continuous wear.
Benson's Capcinc Porous Plasters are
preferred to all others on the following
grounds
First--tleir composition is OF an i'm.
proved nature and combined
with the recently discovered veg
rtable principle Capcinc--which
as powerful and unerring spc-
ciiic. has never been equaled in
the history of true medicine.
They operate with astonishing
,igor, bring almost immediate
relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than
any known plaster, linimcnt or
compound.
Second-Thcy possess all the merit of
the ordinary porous plaster with
above addition, and will cure all
the various difficulties for which
they have been esteemed IN n
many hours rs the ordinary arti-
Gle effects in days and weeks Of
continuous wear.
Third They are genuine pharmaccuti
cal preparation. skillfully CON-
bined, of the highest order

A dispatch from Denver, Colorado, dated
May 24th, says: The snow storm which
has prevailed for twenty -four hours on and
along the base of the mountains broke up
early this morning. The AL in this city
was upwards of six inches. At Central
City and Georgetown and other mountain
towns the snow is reported today as three
feet deep The railroads entering here
have all lost their bridges and embank-
ments and travel is suspended, but it is be-
liesed that all the roads except the Denver
and South Park, Colorado Central and
Boulder Valley, will be able to move their
trains regularly tomorrow. The damages
to county bridges and thoroughfares can
not be reliably estimated, but is undoubt-
edly heavy: Considerable damage is sus-
tnined by the owners and occupants Of
houses in the lower part of this city, but
thus far no casualties are known to have
resulted from this flood which has not
been equalled since 1864.
