A Common sense Remedy.

In the matter of curatives what you want is something that will do its work while you continue to do yours-a remedy that will give you no inconvenience nor inter fere with your business. Such remedy is Allcock's Porous Plasters. These plas- ters are not an experiment.; they have been in use for over thirty years, and their value has been attested by the highest medical authorities as well as by testimonials from those who have used them. They require no change of diet and are not affected by wet or cold. Their action does not inter- fere with labor or business; you can toll and yet be cured while hard at work. They are so pure that the youngest, the oldest, the most delicate person of either sex can use them with great benefit.
 Beware of limitations, and do not be de- ceived by interpretations. Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or ex- plantation induce you to accept substi- tute. n1S eod3t1tw
