What thA nrnppiatA HAv.

Gents-I have been dealing in proprietary
medicines for the last fourteen years, and
have never before found preparation that
would equal your pain Killer Itnot only
sells very rapidly but gives the most perfect
satisfaction in every case that has come to
my knowledge.
In my practice | very seldom prescribe
patent medicine, but having entire confidence
in your "Pain Killer" and knowing that it
possesses valuable medical properties, |
freely use it in my daily practice. 1t is the
most standard remedy have for sale, and
many families in this vicinity would as soon
think Of being out Of BEEF or BREAD as with
out bottle of Pain Killer in the house.
Yours, very truly,
ISAAC A. DoRAN, NJ. d.
c. P. Benson d Co., Charlottesville, Va
write-Your Pain Killer is decidedly the
most popular proprietary medicine sold in
| this state.

JOHN 8. COUGH ON TEMPERANCE.

Last evening Mr.. John b. Cough delivered his last
lecture this season In the Cooper Institute, the sub
ject being Temperance and throughout the
greatest interest was manifested by the large and
appreciative audience who attended. The lecturer
on coming forward was received with loud applause,
and after a few preliminary remarks adverted in
glowing language TO the evil effects OF intem-
perance. lie traced the career OF the drunkard
from beginning TO end in an earnest and truth
ful manner, and with pathos that at times
brought down the unanimous applause or those
present. In his humorous efforts Mr. Cough was
equally effective, his carcatures and capital Initiative
powers provoking frequent laughter He contended
fault and was not attributable to any imaginary
weakness on his part. Man was endowed with in
dependent will, which he was free to exercise for
good evil so that II he gave way and encouraged
the crime OF drunkenness 1t q voluntary act He
showed how the habit was developed, Its powers OF
fascination and the final ruin which issued from It,
The drunkard was moral coward, because his
mental faculties were completely prostrated and in
capable OF determination. The brightest minds were
destroyed by drink; brilliant men, who threw around
