The 6redfest Medical Discovery since the Crea-
hon n lfdn, or since the Commence
ment Of The Christian Era"
There never has been,a time when the
healing OF SO many different diseases has
present. II is an undisputed fact that over
half of the entire population OF the globe re-
sort to the use OF ordinary plasters.
are acknowledged by all who have used
them, to act quicker than any other plaster
they ever before tried, and that one oil these
dred OF tho ordinary kind. All other pIas-
tiers are slow of action, and require to be
worn continually to effect IA cure: but with
these II is entirely different; the instant one
is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians in ali ages have thoroughly
tested and well know the effect of Capsicum:
and 1t has always been more or less used as n
medical agent for an outward application;
but 1t is only Of n very recent date that its ad-
vantages in a porous plaster have been dis
wonderful cures effected by DR.. MELvIN's
CAPsICUM Porous PLASTERS and their supe-
riority over all other plasters, they now
actually prescribe them, in their practice, fol-
such diseases as rheumatism, pain in she side
and back, and all such cases ms have required
the use OF plasters or liniment. After you
have tried other plastcrS and liniments. and
they have failed, and you want n certain
cure, ask your druggist for DIR MELNIN's
CAPsIcUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly
believe your own convictions OF its wonder
ful effects. Although powerful and quick In
Its action, you can rely on It's safety for the
most delicate person to wear, as IL ~ free
monty used In the manufacture Of ordinary
plasters. One trial IL n sufficient quar- utec
OF its merits, and one plaster will sell hun-
dredS to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr.. MARNIS'S CAR
SICUM POROUS PLASTER and take no other:
or, on receipt OF q cents for one, 81 for i've, or
TO any address In the United States or Cana
das.
