We have had some cholera here on the Mississippi

in Laying OUT and burying one of our citizens, who
was supposed to have died with the disease. The
next morning was taken with severe vomiting, ac-
companied with GOODNESS Of the extremities. Warm

My wifes family, who had used the Pain Killer with
success during the cholera in Buffalo, in $40,
advised me to take it. took two doses, at intervals
of fifteen minutes. A fine perspration ensued and
the next day. barring little weakness was well,
and have been since. aA#
1t may have been an attack of ague; but, whether
ague or cholera, it answered my purpose.
Since my recovery, find that several of our citi-
zens have used the Pain Killer as remedy for cho
lera, and pronounced it good therefore take plea
sure in recommending 1t to a still more extensive
notice.
Yours, truly, w. M. CROIZER.

has concusively shown with what success IT accom-
pishes the purpose designed. II is easy 70 make Q
physical Pill but not easy TO make the best OF all
Pills-one which should have none OF the objections
but all the advantages of every other This has been
attempted here and with what success we would re-
spectlly submit to the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgatve medicine is acrimonious and irritating To
the bowels This is not. Many of them produce 30
much gripping pain and revulson in the system as to
than counterbaance the good to be derived from
them These Pills produce irritation or pain, un-
less il arises from previousl existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vege-
table no harm can arise from their use in any guam
tty; but it is better that any medicine should be
taken udciously. Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint in its various forms Of Jaundice,
Indigestion, Ianguor and Loss Of Appetite Listess-
ness Irritability, Bilious Headache Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague, pain in the Side and Loins, for In
TRUTH all these but the consequence OF diseased
action of the liver As aperent they Afford prompt
and sure relief In Costveness Piles Collie Dysentery,
Humors Scrofula, and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness
of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the bleod. In
short, any and every case where purgatve is re-
quired.
They have also produced some singularly success
full cures in Rheumatism Gout Dropsy, Gravel, Fry
sipeas, Palptaton Of the Heart Pains in the Back,
Stomach and Side They should be freely taken in
the spring Of the year. TO purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and by their stimulant action on the circula
tory system renovate the strength OF the body and
restore the wasted diseased energies OF the whole
organism Hence an occasional dose Is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists but un
necessary dosing should never be carried too far as
every purpatiye medicine reduces the strength when
taken TO excess The thousand cases 10 which q
physic is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves 10 the reason Of every body
and II is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto beer
available 70 mankind. When their virtues are onct
known the public will no lenger doubt what remedy
10 employ when in need Of q cathartc medicine.
Being sugar-wrspped they are pleasant TO take snt
being purely vegetable, harm can arise from thei
use in any quantity.

A Docs AFFECTION FOR HIS MAsrER.--Mr. O.
NJ. Hopkins late of Scottsburg, who died in Jan
uary last, had small and sprightly terrier, named
mig" Of which he was very fond After the
death Of his master, Mig grew melancholy. Moth
ing the family could do seemed to amuse him. He
could not be enticed from the side Of his mistress
but would follow her about everywhere, grave and
sedate, as though actually thinking Of his dead
master. One day closet containing his masters
clothing was opened. Nosooner did Mig discover
the garments than he frisked about almost frantic
with delight, evidently expecting his master to ap
pear. When the poor animal discovered his error,
he testified his disappointment by piteous and
inouraful howlings.
In May last, poor Mig grew more melancholy
than ever. All attempts to induce him to leave
the house were unavailing, until one day his mis-
tress went to visit the grave of her husband Then
he followed, and on arriving at the mound COM
menced digging and moaning testifying his grief
in the most affecting manner. From that time he
could not be entced to leave the grave but stayed
day and night till he starved to death. He was
found there, stretched on the earth, cold and stiff
