Of Job Sheath, through the mistake of

Comstock, of ST. Louis, who recommends it
to his patients in his practice. The eminent
physicians, Drs. Crane and White, OF New
York, wrote to Mr.. Hoff, 542 Broadway, New
York, the following letter: "We have used
Hoff's Malt Extract in practice, and the re-
suits have been such as to fully justify the
claims for it; we feel certain that it is des,

Asiatic Cholera In China.

TUNGGHoN, China, Aug. %, 1866.
Messrs Perry DAVIS l. Son:
Dear Sirs.-Durlng long residence in
China, | have used your invaluable Pain
Killer, both in my own family and among the
Chinese, and have found it most excellent
medicine, In the summer of 90 and '63'
while residing in Shanghai, l found it an al
most certain cure for cholera, If used in
time. Indeed, using it in a great many in
stances, do not remember failing in sin
gle case. For three years / have been re-
siding in this place, more than fifty miles
from physician, and have been obliged of
ten to fall upon my own resources in cases
of sickness. The Chinese come to us in
great numbers for medicine and advice
Though without medical knowledge our
selves, the few simple remedies we can com.
mard are so much in advance even of their
physicians, that we have almost daily appli
cations. We allow them to come, because
it brings us in contact with them, and opens
| a door to usefulness. In diarrhea, collie
vomiting, cholera, coughs, &C.. your Pain
Killer has been my chief medicine.
Yours, very truly, T. P. CRAWFORD.
