a number OF pathetic cases OF poverty

when the society was organized
six years ago. the greatest number of
destitute families numbered on an
average of 212, and since then they
have Increased 10 such an extent that
treated was 249. This increase. how
ever, was not due to the recent busi-
ness depression, although a number OF
cases was ascribed TO that cause. The
society has become so widely known
throughout the community that clergy
men and other prominent men are re-
porting cases to the society continual

employment OF considerable more

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionaDly
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcocks Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles OF
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except lngre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
ouired. They are speedy in their &C
ton because their medicinal qualities
60 right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcocks Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

Lone Lived Parisians.

M Rouse, the Oldest member of

years old next May, is prepared to
prove by statistics that Paris is the
city in which life is prolonged more
surely than in any other in the world.
There are enough octogenarians in the
French capital to form good-sized
town of their own-namely, 10,509. AS
the population of Paris was in 1901 a
little over 100000 this gives 3S9 &C.
