V EGE ABLE PAIN KILLER,

OWING to tn" large amount Of Counterfeit
~ Pain Killer put up and sold as genuine
hy unprinciplcd men we have c'bccn obliged to
resort 10 very expensive measures to protect
o'!resircs pec"niarly, and the public from great
injury, buying and using their worthless cnun-
tcrteits.-Thc comparative plain and simple
style in which our Pain Killer has been put up,
has made it very easy for those disposed, to
initiate it very successfully, far us its cxtcr-
nal appearance, in style of bottle, label and
color OF the article; but we need not say that
the compound is miserable, filthy production,
and calculated TO do great injury to those who
might use it with confidence that they have
been accustomed to Use the genuine Pain Kill
lcr Parties whose business it is to counterfeit
valuable preparations, do it in so secret n man.
ncr that it is almost useless to attempt to pun
isl them by legal measures. us it is difficult,
and We might say impossible to bring proof
home to them
Considering the great difficulty in protecting
ourselves and the public hy prosecuting parties,
We have been to II very great expense in get
ting up finely executed
STEEL ENGRA TED LABEL,
for our bottles. We also attach to our bottles
II Steel engraved Note of hand, which we issue
ns our obligation, and to counterfeit which is
held to be forgery by the laws Of the Unit ed
States and which parties will not dare attempt
to Go. The great expense attending the get.
ting up and printing of these labels will pre-
vent the attempt to counterfeit, thus securing
to the public that the article they purchase is
the genuine Perry Davis Pain Killer manu-
factured by Perry Davis & Son, sole propric-
tors.
The Pain Killer will be put in u new style
Of panel bottle. with the words,
Davis Vegetable Pain Killer,
blown in the Glass. We hnve discontinued
the Use of the 3Ti cents bottles, and now put
up only four sizes, viz: at III, 25, 90 cents
and 81 90 per bottle.
We have also very fine engraving on
Stone, for the Box labels, specifying the con-
tents Of the boX where and by whom manu-
facturcd. &c. We have also added TO our PAM
phlet Of directions and certificates, cover
beautifully finished, presenting on the first
page very excellent likcncss of Perry Davis,
the original inventor of the Pain Killer. The
bottle labels and one label on each box, has
also correct likeness OF Perry Davis which
it will be impossible to counterfeit successfully
We have been to this expense, that the pub
lie might have perfect confidence that they
were getting the genuine article when they
buy bottle as above described. To those who
have; so long used and proved the merits of
our article, We would sny that we shall con.
and pnrcst materials and that it shall be every
way worthy of their appreciation as a family
medicine. PERRY DAVIS & son.
