HOME COMFORT.
After a RaiDy Ride Country Physician Tells
What He Thinks of Some People.

~ wish 10 gracious some people would learn
when they need doctor anu when they don't"
exclaimed Doctor E, as he entered his house
in cosey little village in the interior of the State
of New York, after tedious night ride of many
miles. ''I have been down among the mountains
to see man. who. the messenger said. was very
sick and not likely to live till morning, unless he
had immediate help; and found him suffering
from a rather sharp attack Of collie. which his
family might have relieved in ten minutes, if they
had grain OF sense and two or three simple
remedies in the house. But no; they must remain
ignorant as pigs, and when the least ache or pain
takes them send for a doctor, whether they ever
pay him or not"
'why Doctor, what kind Of simple remedies, as
you call them. you expect people TO keep In the
house," asked bis wife, as she poured him cup
of het tea.
"In this case" answered theIDoctor. "if they had
only put BENsoNs CAPCINE POROUS PLAs-
TER on the mans stomach, he would have been
ell right in an hour, and saved me dreary ride"
In all ordinary complaints it cures at once.
All diseases are eliminated from the system by
what may be roughly called expulsion or extrac-
ton, OF by union of the two processes. Benson's
plaster promotes both. It incites the torpid Or
gans TO act and sends its healing, soothing infu'
enoe through the myriad pores OF the skin. All
other plss.eTs otlige the patient to wait. They
give him hope for tomorrow. Benson's Plaster
gives him helpito-day. Which is better, do you
think? Buy the CAPCINE and keep Il in the
house. Price 25 cents.

As write, there lies before me on my

have faithfully preserved for years. It is
about the size and has the appearance of an
ordinary soda biscuit. If you take itin your
hand, you will find il somewhat heavier than

no; will not let you biteit, for wish 20 see

buted to i!s great age. But If YOU imagine
that its age is TO be measured only by the

ion was based upon the fact tina. the letters

we're some skeptics who shook their heads,

were the initials of the name of some army

belief was widespread and deep seated that
they were certainly intended to set forth tn
