DO NOT FORGET
That when any article by its Own merits
has ACQUIRED public confidence and patron
age 1t is a, once Initiated, and the greater
the sale OF the genuine article the more tie
limitations.
Take, for instance. the host Of so-called
porous plasters; every one Of them is en-
deavoling to trade on the reputation Of
ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTER.
The only safe way for purchasers is TO
insist on having the genuine article, and
not allow them,e to be swindlcd by
having pla.ters said TO be "just rs good"
or containing superior ingredients" Inn
posed upon ther. These are only tricks 20
sell inferior goods that no more compare
with ALLCOCK's POROUS PLASTER
than copper docs with gold One trial of
ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTER
will convince you that It is the best eXter-
nal remedy ever made. 1t cures without
causing blisters, sbrasions Of skin, or the
slightest Inconvenience.
OPINION OF DIR. MOTT, LATE GOVERN
MEST CHEMIST, on
ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTER.
Nv Investigation of ALLCOCK's POROUS
PLASTER shows IL to contain valuable and
essential ingredients not found in any other
plaster. These ingredients are so perfectly
proportional that the ALLCOCK's Porous
PLASTER will not cause blisters or OK
cesiVe irritation, and find it superior to
and more efficient than any other plaster.

A. an exchange says: These figures
show conclusively how great the farmers
interest is in the immediate presence in
his own county of manufacturing industries
For theSe differences in the value of farm
lands are the result of an increased price
paid 10 the farmers in the manufacturing
counties over what is paid for the same
products in the agricultural, together with
an increased demand in the manufacturing
counties for straw for beds and paper,
wood for fuel and furniture), manure Oor

Let any one 90 up 10 Polly Holly, little
settlement among the mountains, about
four miles east of Middleburg, and ask for
Mrs. Jane Flagg. She is widow about
. years old. and lives in a tumble-dOwn
shanty on the edge Of the woods. on the
upper side of the narrow valley. Eight
years ago she was attacked by peculiar
disease of the scalp. At first her head was
covered with small ulcers, while almost all
her hair fell out and would not grow again.
The disease gave her such torment that life
for over a year was onlya burden Finally
She went to an herb doctreSS, an old mu-
latto woman, who then lived two miles fur
'her up the mountain road, but who has
died since that time. The old hag, who
bore the reputation of being a witch, told
her TO Gather certain herbs from a grave
ward At midnight, boil them, and mix the
iecoctiCn with the blood and macerated
skin Of "a freshly killed rattlesnake, and rub
her head with the ointment thus made,
The sufferer blindly followed this advice,
Gathered the herbs as directed, and then
began looking for a rattlesnake. She of

Iup to the NiskeraW Mountain, killed one
and brought it TO her. Then she mixed all
