THE "PAIN KILLER. u

The Foreign and domestic demand for Perry
Davis soDs great medicine-the Pain Killer
was never before so large as it has been of late
and we think the TIME has arrived when the dec
aration may be made, without the possibility Of
rafutation, that the city of Providence, Rhode
Island, has furnished the entire habitable globe
with medicine, which, in point of universally
of demand extent Of usefulness, complete eff
cheney for all the purposes for which it was de-
signed and wide spread, enduring popularity, has
never been equalled by any medicine in Europe
OF America.
The universally of the demand for the Pain
KILLER is novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history of this medicine. Its fame
has gone out, into every quarter of the globe
The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in large
and steadily increasing quantities, not only to
general agents in every State and Territory OF
the Union, and every Province Of British Amer
lea, but to every South American Statey to the
Sandwich Islands, to Cuba and ether West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe;
to Mozambique Madagascar, Zanzibar and other
African lands, to Australia and Calcutta, Ran
COON and other places in India. 1t has also been
sent to China, and we doubtif there is any for
eign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia,
which is frequented by American or European
missionaries travellers or traders, into which the
Pain Killer has not been introduced and been
sought after.
The extent of its usefulness is another great
feature of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not
only the best thing ever known, as everybody
will confess, for bruises, cuts, burns, &C., but
for dysentery or cholera, OF any sort of bowel
complaint it is remedy unsurpassed for effcien-
c; and rapidity of action. In the great cities OF
British India, and in the West India Islands and
other hot climates it has become the standard
medicine for all such complaints as well as for
dyspepsia liver complaint and other Kindred dis
orders. For coughs and colds, canker, asthma
and rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved by
the most abundant and convincing trials and tes-
timony, to be an invaluable medicine. The pro.
prietors in possession of letters from persons
of the highest character and responsibility, tes

In addition to the several extensive manufacturing
