This matter of looking to the sanitary nature of wall coatings seems to be con- sidered of much importance of late. A supplement to the Michigan State Board of Health, condemns wall paper and kalsomines for walls. and recommends Alabastine as being sanitary, pure, porous, permanent, economical and beautiful. Alabastine is ready for use by mixing in cold in.” To test a. wall coating, take a small quantity of it, mix in equal quantity of boillng water, and ifit does not set when lcft in the dish over night, and finally form a stone-like cement without shrinking, it is a kalsomine, and dependent upon glue to hold it to the wall, the feature so strongly objgcted to by sanitarians. To each of the first three persons in every city and town in the Dominion of Canada who write The Alabastine Co., Limited, of Paris, Ont. giving the chapter containing the above passage of scripture, will be sent an order on the Alabastine dealer in the town for a. package of Alabastine, enough to cover 50 square yards of wall, two coats, tinted or white. To all who apply, giving- us the name of the paper in which they saw this notice, will be given an ingenious puzzle, the solving of which may earn you $50.00. “And behold if the plague be in the wall: of tho house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish. then the priest shall 0 out of the house to the door of the house. and shut up the house seven days ' ‘ ‘ ‘ And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about. and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place."

Sigel. Ill., September 23rd, 1895.. Gentlemen: I write you a note In praise of Noâ€"Toâ€"Bac which I took near- ly three years ago. I had been usmg tobacco nearly 50 years. The habit had grown on me to such an extent that it required a pound every ten days. It .so effected my nervous system that I could not sleep. had no appetite and was used up generally. On the 19th day of January ’93 I commenced the use of Noâ€"Toâ€"Bac and gained 15 pounds the first month. Noâ€"To-Bae entirely destroyed my desire for tobacco, and I have not tasted the vile weed since. I am now 30 pounds heavier than when I used to- bacco, and I would like to say to every one who uses tobacco, "take No-To-Bac and be yourself again." Very respectfully yours, L. D. ROBEY. M. D. Are you a. sufferer from disease that you long to cure, and all the time using tobacco? No-To-Bac is sold by your own druggist under absolute guarantee of cure. Start your new manhood to- day.
