Having witnessed the beneficial effects of your
celeb ated Pain Killer in several cases of disease
and cholera morbus, within few years past, and
deeming it an of benevolencc to the suffering
prompted by the feeling Of common humanity /
must cheerfully recommend its use, as a safe and
efoctual remedy. About four years ago used it
in case Of cholera, and it proved and effectual
and speedy cure, and in many cases Of rheumatism
and in one case of catarreh and sometime in De-
cember last, six of my children were taken down
with scarlet fever canker rash, my only medl-
cine was Pain Killer and Castor oil--the Pain
Killer operating to charm in cutting the canker,
and throwing out the rash, so that in about about
Eve weeks ma family were entirely recovered,
wieh the blessing of a kink Providence, and do
recommend the same as a safe and sure cure for
the very dangerous disease of scarlet fever. by
giving one tea spornful three times a day, every
other day, and every other day Castor Oil.
