If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not Jose any of their beauty by being wet, bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; While the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value.- Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer t% have our sitters. come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; bul in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne public that they will ftlad our charges very moderate.

Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plesters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but withtheseit is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more Or less used as a medical agent for an Outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLastTerRs, and their superiority over aj] other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have-tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for JR. MBLVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material

commonly used in the manufacture of ordin-

ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MreLyrn’s CApst- cUM PoROuS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
