Tom Thumb died comparatively
young for a dwarf. Richard Gibson
miniature painter and court dwarf tc
Charles l., lived to be seventy-fve
and his dwarf wife, Ann Shepherd, tc
be eighty-fve. Sir Godfrey Hudson,
dwarf and diplomatist to Charles H.,
expired at the age of sixty-three, and
the little gentleman's span of life was
shortened by his incarceration, on sus.
picion of connivance in the Popish plot
in the gate-housc at Westminster
where he died. The far famed Polish
dwarf, Count Borulawski, for whom
George w., provided, died also at an
advanced age. Dwarfs are better con.
stituted, so Barnum says, than giants
both mentally and physically.

Il sold one of your Patent Dust Proof
Cases about ten months ago, and the other
day it came back TO me with the request to
make it wind easier On examination found
that the stem was rusty, and Inquired into
the cause of it. The gentleman stated to me
that he was starting some saw-logs that had
lodged in the bend Of the river, when his
chain caught in bush and threw his watch
into about twelve feet of water, and he was
about two hours finding it. When he got it
out it was running and he thought all right
In about three months he found that the
stem was hard to turn and sent it to me,
l can say that the watch is all that the Com
pany claims for it and recommend it to all
railroad and mill men.

No family should be without ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs; their healing powers
are wonderful and their efficacy for reach
Ing and lasting, For ye rs past have
seen and known them to cure and relieve
the most obstinate and distressing cases
Of rheumatism, kidney complaint, bron-
chltis, neuralgia, lumbago, Inflammation
Of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma,
spinal weakness, and coughs and colds
In my own case they have afforded me al
most instant and permanent relief. My
friends consider item an invaluable and
speedy remedy for all kinds OF aches and
pains. They are blessing in disguise;
and no wife or mother should be without
them if she values her peace and comfort
and freedom from nervous exhaustion and
other ailments. AS u strengthening plast-
cr, also for backaches and weakness, they
have no equal. have never yet found a
plaster so eflicacious and stimulating, or
to give so much general satisfaction
Used in connection with BRANDRETH's

PILLS, no one need despair OF speedy
restoration to good sound health.
