THAT SETTLES IT.
Brought into Competition with the
World, the Best Carries of
the HonOrs.

At the great Centennial Exhibition OF iS16.
the leading products Of all branches of the
Worlds industry were assembled at Phila-
delphia. To carry OF a prize in the face Of
that tremendous competition was . task Of
no ordinary difficulty. Inventions and prep
arattons iOr the alleviation Of pain and the
cure Of diseases we're present in the greatest
possible variety, representing the skill and
the profoundest study Of the age. and it may
be Of vital importance to you, personally, TO
know that the highest and only medal given
to rubber Porous plasters, Was.aWarded TO the
manufacturers Of BENSON'S CAPCINE P0-
ROUS PLASTER, by the following jury:
DR. WM, ROTH. Surgeon General, Prussian
Army
J. ii. THOMPSON, A. NJ, NJ. D., Washing
ton, DC.
C. b. WHITE. NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH, NJ. ID. Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by
the medical jury at the last Paris Exposition.
Knowing the value Of such higa and unbiased
testimony, the medical profession. both in
the United States and in Europe, quickly
threw aside the old. slOw-acting plasters they

their regular practice. That physicians and
SURGEONS Of the brOadest regulations did this
distinctly proves the intrinsic merit Of the ar
| ticle.
IL is no more than just TO add that the ay-
erage physician of to-day is not dominated By
the prejudiees which retarded the progress
and modified the successes Of his predecessors
Of not more than twenty-five years ago. He
accepts hints from all quarters and endorses
and adopts demonstrated healing agents
wherever he finds them.
The right Of Benson's Capcine Porous Plas-
ter TO stand at the head of all external applj
cations whatsoever, for the mitigation or cure
OF disease, is no longer questioned.
Let the purchaser. however. be on his guard
against limitations. The genuine has the word

ering and wet, a large crowd stood
in the coarse, saturated grass about
the scaffold. We placed our man
under the crosspiece and fastened
the rope about his neck. Every.
thing was ready except the last
prayer and letting the trap fall.
The sheriff asked the prisoner if he
had anything to say.
"Yes," said the man. He made
a long speech, declaring his inno-
cence. abusing the judge and all
that kind Of thing. Suddenly he
stopped in the middle of a sentence.
All this time, you must remember,
the rain was falling in cataracts.
Seeing the doomed man silent the
sheriff tipped wink to the clergy
man, who, being Baptist, did not
mind the rain, The reverend gen.
tleman began topray. We all bent
our heads, although no one was
pious enough to take his hat off.
Just as Brother Hardshell was
winding up his petition, we heard a
cry of astonishment from the crowd.

"What?" cried the sheriff's audi

THAT rain had shrunk the rope
enough to hang our man for u.s.
For a moment the silence of the
room was broken only by the tick
ing of the clock and the rattle of
the rain drops against the panes.

THE FRIEND THAT CLNGs.-A
poet in one Of our exchanges says;
ssGiye me the friend that clings to
me-" Yes, that is the kind of friend
we like, but they are scarce. We
had young friend once who was
accustomed to cling to US until it
seemed that he couldn't cling any
Ginger. He chung to US until we,
in one ofour wealthy and unguarded
moments, lent him $40. Since that
date he hasn't clung to US to any
great extent. On the CONTRARY,
all the clinging has been done by
us. When we meet him on the
street we show a strong desire to
cling, while he would fee away
from us as free as bird. BE is
not of the cling variety any more.
The poet is right, but he should
have said: @Giye me the friend
who clings to me when he owes me
$1o."
