HOME COMFORT.
After Rainy Ride Country Fhssi-
elan Tells What He Thinks of
some People.

81 wish to gracious some people would learn
when they need doctor and when they
DON'T exclaimed DR.. E., as he entered
his house in cosy little village in the interior
of the state of New York, after a tedious
night ride of many miles. 'Ihaye 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 rene
dies 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 hip or not"
"Why, doctor, what kind of simple RENE
dies, as you call them, do you expect people to
keep in the house?7 asked his wife as she
poured him cup of hot tea.
In this case" answered the doctor, ''if
they had only put Benson's Capcine Porous
Plaster on the mans stomach, he would have
been all right in an hour, and saved me a
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
extraction, or by a union of the two processes.
Benson's Plaster promotes both. 1t incites
the torpid organs TO act, and sends its healing,
soothing influence through the myriad pores OF
the skin. All other plasters oblige the patient
to wait. They give him hope for tomorrow.
Benson'S plaster gives him help to-day.
Which is better, do you think? Buy the Cap
cine and keep it in the house. Price 25 cents

DROPS OF WATER.

Nj. Joseph G. Bricknell No, 642 Main street,
Cambridgep0rt, Mass, writes, April 81, 1888;
81 ha We been terribly afflicted for number of
years with gravel and kidney disease. My
urine contained b ick-dust deposits, and at
times could not pass my water except in
drops and with great pain; and have
had to get up as many as fifteen times during
the night. l tried several physicians they
did me no good, but a friend OF mine who had
used Hunts Remedy told me to get a bottle
and try it. He had been cured of severe
case similar r. mine and that others had used
Hunts Remedy i'll Cambridge and pro-
nounced it medicine of real merit. After
being repeatedly urged | purchased bottle
and beIore had used all of it passed stone
as large as pea, followed by small er ones. 1
have used in all ten bottles, and it has COM
pletely cured me. My kidneys are in excellent
condition, ana for one of my age, 1861 sixty
eight years, l can truly say feel like young
man with strength and vitality. My family
use the Remedy and would not be without it,
and never fail to recommend it to our friends
and neighbors In Cambridge and Boston. You
are at liberty to use my name i'll praise of the
best kidney and liver medicine, Hunts Rem
eay."

The New York Mail and Express,

AS illustrating the foreign fruit

squarely in the face, TIE head of the house of

Eyes, sir, with pleasure. My remark was that
we consider Parker's Ginger Tonic, now called
Parker'S Tonic. the best article of the kind
in the market. Our sales for the last six
months tell the whole story and settles the
question. The Tonic, like Il good dinner, car
ries its own recommendation with it. It's
bound to sweep the west like prairie on fire.
In cases of rheumatism, dyspepsia and liver
and kidney troubles it scores successes and
wins friends every day
HiScoX & Co. beg to call public attention TO
the fact that hereafter Parker's Ginger Tonic
will be advertised and sold simply under the
name of Parker's Tonic. Wemake this change
for the reason that lmprincipled dealers are
constantly deceiying their customers by sub
shutting inferinp preparations under the
name of gingeri and as ginger is really an
unimportant fayoring ingredient, we drop
the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepar-
alton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of de"lers, wrapped under the name of
Paiker'S Ginger Tonic contain the genuine
medicine if the fac-simile of Hiscox s. Co. is at
the bottom of the outside wrapper.

Splendid Remedy for Lun.
Diseases,

DR.. Robert Newton, late president
of the Eclectic college of the city of
New York, and formerly of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, used DIR. VIM. Halls Bal
sam very extensively in his practice,
as many Of his patients, now living.
and restored to health by the use of
this Invaluable medicine, can amply
testify. He always said that so good
a remedy ought not to be considered
merely as patent medicine, but that
it ought to be prescribed freely by
every physician as sovereign RENE
dy in all cases of lung diseases. 1t is
a sure cure for consumption, and has
no equal for all pectoral complaints.

years with Xxi iney and liver complaint, follow
ed by gravel, with severe pains in my back
