LOWING to the large amount of Counterfeit
~ Pain Killer put up and sold as genuine
by unprincipled men we have been obliged to
resort to very expensive measures to protect
ourselves pecuniarily, 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 1t very successfully, far as its exter-
Nh! 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
Ter: Parties whose business it is to counterfeit
valuable preparations, do it in so secret man.
ner. that It, IS almost useless to attempt to pun
ish them by legal measures. rs il is difficult.
and We might say impossible to bring proof
home to them.
Considering the great difficulty in protecting
ourselves and the public by prosecuting parties,
We have been TO very great expense in get
ting up finely executed
STEEL ENGR.i l-ED LIBEL
for our bottles. We also attach to our bottles
Steel engraved Note Of hand. which we issuc
MS our obligation, and to counterfeit which il
held to be forgery by the laws of the United
States and which parties will not dare attempt
to do. The great expense attending the get

vent the attempt to counterfeit, thus securing
to the public that the article they purchase is
the genuine Perry Davis Pain Killer, manu-
featured by Perry Davis 4 Son, sole propric-
tors.
The Pain Killer will be put in n new style
OF panel bottle. with the words,
Davis Vegetable Pain Killer,
blown in the Glass. We have discontinued
the use of the 31t cents bottles, and now put
up only four sizes, viz: at l2A, IS, 50 cents
nnd 81 90 per bottle.
we have also very fine engraving on
Stone, for the Box labels, specifying tho con.
tents of the box, where and by whom manu-.
factured. dc. We have also added to our pam

beautifully finished, presenting on the first

bottle labels, and ono label on each box, has
also correct likeness of Perry Davis, whicl,
1T will be impossible to counterfeit successfully
We have been to this expense that the pub.

were getting the genuine article when they
buy bottle as above described. To those who
havel 80 long used and proved the merits OF
our article we would say that We shall con.

and purcst materials and that it shall be every
way worthy OF their appreciation as family
