VARIOUS QUACkS.
Who Each with his own Pet scheme-Cultiyate
the Field Of Human Nature.

There have always been qiarks legal uuacks
theological qnar';s, scientific qlacks and medical
quacks. Some of them are bland. oily fellows who
argue aud smile the world into believing in their
tarorite Bit Of humhug. Others are pumnous and
pretentious parasites. But they make il pay.
Men seem to love TO be swindlcG. STIMULATING only
that it shall be neatly done.
The dear public arc equally liberal to the elec.
trio and magnetic fraud. This fellow is genius
in his line. He will put y magnetic belt around
rour waist, 4 magnetic ncc, lace under your chin,
1T you out with an entire suit Of magnetic
clotAcS, warranted to serve the purpose Of oriua-
ry garments, and AT the same time to cure all dis
eases. from whOoping cough to hasty consumption.
Most OF these have no more electric or magnetic
power about them than resides in WOODEN blankets
or in girllcs of Sackcioh. Only when applied by
an expert is electricity of the slightest use rs Il
medicinal agent and even then its value is grossly
ovcr-stattl. What is the strongest possible pre-
sumptivc rvidcncein favor of particular remedy ?
Clearly that it should have been prepared by re-
spomsiblc parsons OF acknowledged skill in the
treatment III disease.
Squarely on this foundation stands BENSON S
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER Endorsed by
5000 physicians pharmacists, druggists and
chemists, it needs no further apology nor intro
hucton. 1t is the and only true and tried
external application. Qucl;s of all kinds pay the
Capcinc the compliment of their dislike as Satan
