VOLTAIC PLASTERS.

An Electro-Galvanic Battery combined
with the Celebrated Medicated Porous
Strengthening Plaster, forming the best
Plaster, for pains and aches in the World
of Medicine.
ELECTRICITY
As grand curative and restorative agent is not
equaled by any element medicine in the history
of the healing art Unless the vital spark has fed
possible. 1t is the last resort of all physicians
and surgeons, and has rescued thousands, appa-
rently dead, from an untmely grave, when no
other human agency could have succeeded. This
is the leading curative element in this plaster.
BALSAM AND PINE.
The healing properties of our own fragrant bal
sam and pine and the gums Of the East are too
well known to require description. Their grateful
healing, soothing, and rengthening properties
are known to thousands When combined in ac-
cordance with late and important discoveries in
pharmacy, their healing and siren gthening prop
Plaster is the best in without the aid OF cleo
tricity.
TWO IN ONE.
Thus combined we have two grand medical agents
in one, each of which performs its function and
unitedly produce more cures than any iniment,
lotion, wash plaster ever before compounded in
the history of medicine Try HRICE, 25 CENTS,

Preparing for Resumption.

| Washington Special Nov. Isl to Chicago
Times.
On Saturday last call was made by the
secretary of the treasury for the redemption
of $50 bonds Of 1865. There now remains
outstanding of consols of 1865, S57, 000,-
coo; consols of 1867, S3lc, 100000, and con
soils of 1863, $37, 900, 900. OF other bonds
now outstanding bearing per cent. interest
there are the three issues of absolute bonds.
loans of 1881, which amount to S2S3,000,-
600, so that the entire amount of 6 per cent.
bonds now outstanding is S6SS, 100000,
nearly one-third of the entire bonded debt.
The question has frequently been raised
whether on the approach of resumption-day
and the coin obligations which viii then
have TO be met, it would be either practicable
or advisable for the treasury TO continue the
calling in aud redemption of bonds. Secre-
fairy Sherman in his interview in April last
with the House committee on banking and
currency, in answer to q similar question by
Gen. Ewing, made the following reply: "In
my judgment be will go on and make these
calls. Last year we accumulated S600o0,-
900 in actual gold in the treasury, while at
the same time we were makiag calls at the
rate of 81, 000,00 q day, and therefore your
conclusion does not follow. Accumulation
for resumption accompanies, and is increased
by refunding. Actual experiment shows it.
Whenever we have made calls We have ac-
cumulated CON-; When this statement was
made there were $50. 900 900 of gold in the
treasury, and, according TO the secretary,
there are now S13T, Oo0, ooc, showing an in
crease of $4,000, 600 since April last, al
though by the demonstration of silver the
flow of gold from customs sources has
ceased. Treasury officials say this condition
of affairs is largely dus TO the vast decrease
in the demands made upon the treasury for
cold, owing to the balance Of trade being so
largely in favor of this country. The otter
raa5a by the secretary Of the treasury some
time ago, 20 redeem 50,000,C10 of called
$50 bonds before the date when the interest
would cease. illustrates this fact, for il is
stated at the treasury that OF these $50 coo, :
600 Of bonds, barely 81 coo 600 has been
presented for redemption, showing plainly
that gold is not in demand, and that holders
prefer to receive their 6 per cent interest to
the coin which their redemption would
bring. The treasury people further say that
if the present condition of affairs were re-
verssd, and the balance Of trade we're against

treasury would not have bsen possible, nor
