Safe. Sure and sneedv

No external remedy ever yet devised has so
fully and unquestionably met these three prime
conditions as successfully as ALLCoCK's PoR-
Gus PLAsTERs. They are safe because they
contain no deleterlous drugs and are manufac-
tnred upon scientific principles of medicine
They are sure because nothing goes into them
except ingredients which are exactly adapted
TO the purposes for which plaster is required,
They are speedy Ia their action because their
medicinal qualities go right TO their work of re-
cles, nerves and SKIN. Ask for ALLCoCKs s and

Decrease of Crime.

Arrests for offcnses and vices arc I'M
doubtedly increasing, but in proportion
to our population crimes and offcnses
are decreasing. Thousands of arrests
for breach of the peace take place in
our cities where the same offcnsc would
hardly be noticed in the country. Thus,
in Massachusetts in 1850 5000 persons
were arrested for drunkenness, and in
1850 $4,000 were arrested for the same
offensc. But in the twenty-five years
between 1860 and 1885 the crimes
against persons and property decreased
Al per cent, though the commitments
for vice had greatly increased Police
strictness has increased, but crime has
steadily decreased. There were not sly
times rs many drunken people in 1855
rs in 1850, but it was six times as dan
gcrous to the drunken man to be seen
In the streets of our cities.
