And in the early ‘evening lectures fifteen minutes to young christians on the new life they are to live; after which he discourses to the world, or those out of the church, o the 1 truth, facts, commands, promises and threaténings of the gospel, in all of which he gives evidence of that studious application of mind aud heart, that proves him at once a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightIy dividing the word of truth, and t 0 be in full sympathy with that which is pure, holy, just and good: T T e e T e fall of Plevna is justly regarded in Bt.

One bottle of Vegetine will give relief, but to effect a permasnent cure it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing.

' There never has been a time when the healing - of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is dn un_disputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the ure of ordinary plasters. - : . Dr.”MELVIN'S CapsiocoM Porous PLABTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. - All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continuall¥ to effect & cure; but with - Jthese it.is entirely different: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect. Physicians in 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 advantages in a poreus plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced ‘of the wonderful cures effected by D=z. MzLvin’s Capsictinx Porovs Prasters, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actnally prescribe them, in their practice, for such - diseases as rheumatism, painin the side and back, ' and all such caseg as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other J)lasters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certaincure, ask mr druggistfor Dr, MEL- ' vin’s Carsioum Porous STER. You can hardlg . believe yonr own convictions of its wonderfunl €ffects, Although powerful and guick in its action, you. ‘can rely on its safety for the: most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other | ?oiso'nous material commonly used in the manaactare of ordinarfy plasters. One trial is a snflicient gnarantee of its merits, and one plaster will gell hundreds to your friends. __Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvIN'S Capsiooy = Porous PrasTER. and take no other ; or, on receipt.
