Pains and Aches.

We all have pains and aches, but
they needn't last long-not any longer
than 1t takes to put on an Allcock's g
Porous Plaster. The only thing to
look out for is that you get the right
plaster. There are others, but you
don't want them; take our word for it,
for when you need a plaster you need
1t, and there's no time for experiment
ing and find out mistakes then. Ask
for AllcOck's Porous Plasters and see
that you get them. If they say that
some other is jnst as good, tell them
that only the best is good enough for
you. Allcock's Porous Plasters are
quick and sure. and Acknowledged by
the highest medical authorities and
everybody else to be the best outside
remedy for pains and aches of every
description.

edl, that because, as used to substau.
tiate my proposition, Is irrefutable.
Proposition: Everyone who admires

other publications, devoted to fioricul-
ture, that of John Lewis Childs, stands
pre-eminently complete. Its cover
alone, for beauty Of design, is worth
only 25 cents, and IL mailed free to all
customers. The title page bears the
name "Childs" In beautifully illnmi-
mated and floral text, while the back Of
the cover is marvel Of beauty, pOr-
traying as it does, one of the most as
tonishing achievements Of modern flOri-
cnlture-"Chllds' Jewell" This rose
could not fail to elicit exclamations Of
wonder and delight wherever seen.

the first inducement that meets the
eye lie the coloIed plate of Chllds super
62e na,2sioa scenmnanied hy a check
which II sent with any order gives
these beauties to the reader, these pam
sizes alone are worth fifty cents. While
the surprise collection, for Sl.OO gives
something that will prove joy. and
an enduring pleasure for months to

Because among flower seed novelties

sweet peas, carnations, marigolds,
mignonette, morning glories, petunias
and wall flowers, are not set aside aud
forgotten, but each strain has been im-
proved and beautifed. While the seeds
are all fresh, good measure and sure TO
grow with proper care aud treatment,
and bed Of evening bloomers will be a
source OF never failing interest to the
entire neighborhoOd.
Because, climbers, fragrant and or
namental foliage plants, everlasting
flowers, plants and seeds for window
aud greenhouse culture, aquatic seeds
and plants, and hardy perennials are
described in endless variety, and his
shrubbery, plants and bulbs, are choice,
and In every way reliable.
