The President of a certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, ZOO, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear a Benson's Porous Plaster ON his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. l don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want TO laugh, but it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heayiness, weakness or pain.
1t may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; 1t may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be q
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, etc, or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters-
Clap on o Benson's. 1t relieves at once
and cures quickly. 1t stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of 1t. But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, or
we will prepay postage on any number
ordered in the United States on receipt OF
Csc. each.

SUNDAY OPENING.

When we find such prominent di-
vines of the Episcopal church clamor-
ing for an open saloon on Sunday in
New York city, it is rather relief to
find in the editorial columns Of the So
called yellow" New York journal
protests against opening the saloons
on Sunday.
The following are samples of the
protests
cat the door of the American saloon,
family life ends. If you open the sa-
loon on Sunday you will diminish
family life on that day.
1.-The wife who has worked hard aud
alone all the week, taking care of the
house and of the children. will be left
alone again on the one family day.
1.-The children whose father leaves
for work while they sleep and returns
after dark have now chance to get ao-
quainted with him on Sunday.
"If you open the Sunday saloon for
him you will take him away from his
children on the day that might unite
them You will remove him from the
atmosphere which developes the no.
Dlest TRAITS OF character, ana Wnat VIII
you give him as substitute?
IF you open the door Of the saloon
for the man who thinks he wants it
open, what will you do for the women
and the children who know that they
want it closed.
''Of those who demand the right to
drink on sunday, tens of thousands in
their hearts are really glad to be pro-
tected against themselves.
IF you say that the popular vote
should settle the question, we can on
ly say that of course popular vote
would, but such vote if it declared
for Sunday opening, would only repre-
sent one-h half the adult male popula-
ton, and it would not represent at all
the will of those most deeply concern
ed-the women. Nor would it express
the interest of another great body
the children.

The common council of this city,
ut an adjourned meeting held last
evening, voted to leave the question
of sewers to vote of the people. Per-
haps that is the best way to test the
opinion Of the tax payers. That the city
needs sewers is self-eyident, but the
best way to get them is not so evident
In some respects private ownership
would be best in others, city owner
ship is desirable. In any case, it is to
be hoped that our people will see the
great necessity for sewers, and will
vote in favor of their being built.

The State authorities have been
boasting about the large surplus in
the State treasury, but the way that
the members of the legislature are
going for that surplus indicates that 1t
needs watching. One member wants
state university established at cost
of one million dollars two or three
want additional normal schools. and
several want MD in erecting war
monuments, etc. If the legislature
wants to get rid of the surplus, let it
devise some way of helping the COM
mon people. There has been enough
money spent in furnishing free edu-
cation for the rich aud clarifying the

Institute, COS Main St., Buffalo, n. \.
Few people are aware of the extent
of the Institution presided over by DR..
Pierce or that an important part of his
medical enterprise was the establish
ment of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, where people from afar
can be lodged, boarded and treated,
with all the privileges offered by the
finest hospitals, yet with a personal
care and freedom entirely foreign to
such institutions. DIR. Pierce's Inya-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute has
O staff of nearly score OF physicians,
each man a specialist. 1t has n bac-
THEOLOGICAL snd analytical department
second to those of no medical institu-
ton in the United Strtes. 1t has elab-
crate machines and appliances, to-
gether with all the most approved me-
chanical apparatus, for the vibratory
treatment of diseases.
OF late particular attention has been
drawn to the possibility of treating
certain forms of disease, mechanical
ly. Whole pages IN the newspapers
aud magazines have been given up to
the description and illustration of the
mechanical devices in use, and the me-
chanical treatment of disease has been
exploited as if it were novelty. 1t |
may be to some people, but as an evil |
dence of the advanced thought and |
spirit of DR. Pierce, ii may |
be mentioned that many of these me- |
chanical devices for the cure of disease |
have been in use in the Inyalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute for score
of years. In this, as in everything
e'se, DIR. Pierce keeps his great Insti-
tuition at the front, with the result that
there is q constant stream of persons
seeking treatment who come from the
farthest states and most remote terri
tories. Often these invalids have
gone to the great hospitals of the
country and found no benefit, coming
to DIR. Pierce as a last resort. 1t is
gratifying to know that the public
faith in DIR. Pierce and his methods
and medicines is amply justified by
the many and remarkable cures which
have resulted from his treatment It
may be we'll in this connection to en-
phasize the value of DIR. Pierces offer
of free consultation by letter addressed
especially to those suffering from
chronic diseases. In great many
cases the advertised offers of free
medical advice" have behind them not
a single medical practitioner qualified
to give medical advice. 1t is only
neeo.eary 70 reint 10 the-ne1iSel
staff of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute as evidence that DR..
Pierce's offer is genuine as it is Free

"a brand new occupation for the
blind in which they will excel the see-
ing is beginning to be taught in the
asylums," said a physician in The Phil
adelphia Record. "This is the occupa~
tion of the masseur. The blind. with
their delicate sense of touch and with
their soft supple hands. take to mas
sage as q duck takes to water. Mas
sage, you see, dosen't require eyesight,
for the messeur's busy hands hide from
him what he is doing; it requires just
those qualities that in the blind are de-
veloped TO an excess-an ability to see,
as it were, with the fingers. I know a
blind messeur who practices in New
York. His work is a revelation. No
seeing man or woman 1 have ever met
could come anywhere near him. The
massage, as you know, is becoming
more popular daily; we are getting
more and more messeurs, and soon, /
am glad to see, a good proportion of
these men and women will be blind"
