Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met
these three prime conditions as sue
cessful as Alcock's Pasters. They
are safe because they contain no dele
ferrous drug and are manufactured up
on scientific principals of medicine.
They are sure because nothing goes in
to them except ingredients which are
exactly adapted to the purposes for
which plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their
medicinal qualities goes right to their
work relieving pain and restoring the
natural and healthy performance of
functions of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasterc are the original and
genuine porous plasters and like most
meritorious articles have been extern
sively initiated, therefore always make
sure and get the genuine Allcock's.

Prompt Payment the Best Argument

Admr the Noah II. Skinner claim
of $1,000, insurance that said Skin
ner held in that company. Mr..
Flanary informs us that Mr.. Skin
ner held this policy only about six
days, and had never paid the first
premium.
When taking the insurance, Skin
ner gave his note for the first pre-
MUM. In the application for this
insurance, Mr.. Skinner gave his oc-
cupation as farming, but in less than
one week for the delivery of the pol.
icy ne was killed in the coal mines
at Wheatcroft. Notwithstanding
this the company has paid the full
face of the policy without deducting
the premium.
Mr. Flanary also showed US a
check for $1,000 payable to Mrs Sue
VI. Seatz, widow of }. +. Seatz, who
died at Clay on Feb. Sth, Mr.. Seatz
had only paid one premium on this
policy.
This is certainly a good showing
for Mr.. Flanary's company. Moth

fact That They Pay All Claims
