BY unprincipled men we have been obliged to
resort to very expensive measures to protect
ourselves peeuniarily, and the public from great
injury, buying and using their worthless coun.
terfeits-The 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, 80 far as its exter-
nal appearance. in etylo 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 havo
been accustomed to use the genuine Pain Xii.

Considering the great difficulty in protecting

We have been to very great expense in get

as our obligation, and to counterfeit which is
held to be forgery by the laws of tho United
