PAIN KILLER,

After thorough trial by innumerable living
witnesses, has proved itself the medicine of the
age. 1t is an internal and external remedy.
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that its sales
have constantly increased, and wholly upon its
own merits. The effect of the Pain Killer upon
the patient when taken internally, in case OF
Cold Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera,
Dvsentery and other affections of the system,
has been truely wonderful, and has won for it a
name among medical preparations that can never
be forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as
an external remedy in cases of Burns, Bruises,
Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Stings of Insects, and
other causes of suffering, has secured for it such
a host of testimony as an almost infallibe
Iemedy, that it will be handed down to posterity
as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the
10th century.
