Copy of "a Letter received by Mr.. Curran, our
Agent at Calcutta.-My Dear sirs; desire to state
few instances OF good resulting from the OF
the Pain Killer. The first that shall mention
in which performed cure was that Of boy who
had his right hand severely ,calded by the falling
Of boiling oil ON it, and who in a few days per-
rcc'y cured by the application Of a mixture Of
Cream and Pain Killer, as directed in such cases,
Then my girl wa, cured on an obstinate Cough,
La.tly, shall refer to myself took the medicine
not from any conGd nee had in it on the con
tr,ry, took it with great deal Of fcar-howcvcr,
must that it several times relieved mo ofcold
in tho chest-aud it cured me Of Fever-of pain
in the klee-aui ulcer in the mouth. In adli-
tlou to the above case of cholera was brou hit to
my notice, a colchman attacked with this
disease, and medicines kept for this complaint were
given to the man without any effect, aud, as the
last resort, when he was cold and SPECIFICS, tho
Pain Killer was administered, which threw warmth
into the system and revived his sinking energy
in short the man restored.
