been more thoroughly tested than PERRY DAy-
Is's PAIN KILLER. Thousands Of persons, were
they called upon to DO so, would cheerfully ties
tify that they have used it, for various ills,
with the most satisfactory success. 1t is within
our own knowledge, that an immense amount
Of suffering has been relieved by it. Its pro-
prieiors spare no pains in order to satisfy the
public. Being strictly honorable men, they OBJ
serve the utmost uniformity in the manufacture
Of their celebrated Pam Killer. The materials
Of which it is composed are carefully selected

triumphantly sustained. In view these facts,
we are by no means surprised 10 learn that
