They soothe. Never Irritare.

Some people have prejudice against
plasters, because, as they think, they burn
and blister. That is true of many, but
not of Allcocks Porous Plasters. They
never irritste the skin, but always have q
soothing effect.
They are useful in case of any local pain
and as q rule will bring immediate relief.
If they do not, it Is because the trouble
has been allowed to become 30 serious that
no external remedy will reach it, and the
chances are that any treatment will fall.
For stitches In the eide, weakness or
lemeness of the back, stiffness of the Joints
Allcock's Porous Plasters have been proved
again and again to be not only a relief, but
a cure.
Brandreth's Pills are ssfe to take at any
time.

That is sure. And if not,
wouldn't it pay you to use it

turn were accompanied by Herr Wer-
muth, representing the German EN-

Dredge. representing Great Britain,
who after examining the prospects Of
the Fair pledged their governments
to support it. A second commission,
