Nv WN Pain Killer.
Msnssw from Rev. r. Telford, Missionary
~ 2M in China now visiting his home IN
Pennsylvania
WASHINGTON, PA.
DEAR SIRs-During a residence of some ten
years as a missionary in Siam and China, I found
your Vegetable Pain Killer most valuable rem
edy for that fearful scourge the Cholera
In administering the medicine found 1t most
effectual to give teaspoonful of Pain Killer in
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes begin to give about a
teaspoonful of the same mixture every few MN
utes until relief was obtained. Apply hot appll-
cations to the extremities Battle the stomach
with the Pain Killer, clear, and rub the limbs
briskly. OF those who had the Cholera, and took
the medicine faithfully in the way stated above,
''''' '''' Truly Yours, R. TELFORD.
If attacked with the Diarrh@a, Dysentery,
Cramp. Collie, don't delay the use of the PAIN
KILLER.
FUNGcHow, CHINA
DEAR SIRs During long residence in CHI
ma I have used YOUR Invaluable Pain Killer, both
in my own family and among the Chinese, an d
have found it most excellent medicine In the
summer Of 1862 and '63, while residing IN Shang-
hal, found it an almost certain cure for cholera,
if used in time Indeed using it in great many
instances, do not remember falling in single
case. For three years have been residing IN
this place. more than fifty miles from a physl-
cian and have been obliged often to fall upon
my own resources in cases OF sickness. The
Chinese come to us in great numbers for med-
cine and advice Though without medical know-
edge ourselves, the few simple remedies we can
command are so much in advance even OF their
physicians, that we have almost daily appllca-
tions. We allow them to come, because it brings
us in contact with them, and opens door OF use
fulness. In darrhea, collie. vomiting, cholera
coughs, etc, your PAIN KILLER has been my
chief medicine.
Yours, very truly,

Mr. GREELEY's COMPLIMENTS. In the last
issue of his paper Mr. Greeley says, incidental
ly, thatin his judgment ''the Virginia Con
servatives have shown more sense, wisdom,
tact, this season than ever before, and more
than their brethren in any other State canvass.
They may not hold out as they have begun, we
presume they viii not, but to-day they are
masters of the situation, and can afford to wait
with folded arms the developments of the COM

this that the total distance from
ocean to ocean is g., 299 miles and
the fare $153.91. AS may be no.
ticed the charge on the last stage,
the Central Pacific road, is more
than the remaining three-fourths of
the journey. but the Company has
promised to reduce it's rates next
