PERRY DAVIS, PAIN KILLER.

We have often spoken Of this great medicine in terms
of very high praise, and We have often felt that all we
could in It's favor would not do It fall Justice IL is
of those medicines of which spsak-and sneak
decsively-from experience; for wo have repeatedly
taken 1t and invariably with the hest results and the
greatest satisfaction. We keep II hand ready
for emergency, and regard IL not only an one Of
the very best and most reliable Of medicines in use for
various Ills, but of the cheapest also Its cost by
the waythat is the cost Of all the ingredients Of which
1t is eomposedhaH been considerably increase d. but Inc
price Of the medicine has been but very little advanced
II is not likely that the popularity of Davis Pain Killer
will IN any measure decrease that the demand for il
will in the slightest degree Decline until other Apt
ciHe for aaylng pain and curing the various complaints
for which It Is 80 generally used sha be discovered
equal potency with io which there seems to be little
probability Asa remedy for stomach complaints such
dysenteryi darrhna &c the Pain Killer Is without
doubt unsurpassed aud everywhere deHervedly in
demand. One, two three Doses tsaspoonful each
II wine glass milk aud water, with little sugar
have repeatedly, within our knowledge eeeusly cured
| serious trouble Of this kind Judgment should I'M
doubtedy be used In not checking certain stages OF
diarrhma too suddenly; but taken At the proper tna
he pain Killer will act like charm, and frequently cure
! he nothing elss will.-Prouidenoe AdpfTtisrf.

PAIN KILLER

From the hest and purest materials, and with n
care that insures the most perfect uniformity in
the medicine.
The reputation of the Pain Killer has suffer
eli more or less from numerous counterfeits and
limitations, that have been issued from time to
time, many of them we'll calculated 10 deceive /;
promising to cure diseases for which the Pain
Killer Is intended while they contrin NV
any properties in common with ID, und are gene
rally entirely worthless. These became so nu-
nerous that, in 1864, to protect the public and
1rsclv'a, We vent 10 heavy expense in pro-
curing finely engraved steel plates for our la
bells; altering, at the same time, the shape Of
our bottles, from Octagon 10 fiat panel, with
" Davis Vegetable Pain Killer" blown in the
glass On one side of each bottle is a finely ell
graved likeness OF Perry Davis, the inventor OF
the medicine; on the other side Of each is our
note Of hand, ms finely engraved, TO counterfeit
which is held to be forgery by the laws of the
United States.
To the name of our medicine,

No medicine has been more successful in cur

to Western and Southern climate. For Cold,

needles have failed. 1t is eminently q FAMILY
MEDICINE, and by being kept ready for immedi.

of disease, has saved many hours Of suffering,
and many dollar in time and doctors bills.

llation the provisions of this article,
