PAIN KILLER.
|7SA PAIN KILLER.
NEM EAAA We ask attention to this unrivaled
~ s%1 FAMILY MEDICINE.


The PAIN KILLER is, by universal consent, al
lowed to have won for itself reputation unsur-
passed in the history of medicinal preparations.
Its instantaneous effect in the entire eradication
and extinction Of Pain in all its various forms in
cidental to the human family, and the unsollcl-
ted written and verbal testimony of the masses
in its favor, have been, and are, its own best adj
vertisement.
For evidence in favor of the PAIN KILLER for
Ministers Sore Throat or Bronchitis, read the
following:
GENTS The Pain killer has been constant
occupant Of our house for over two years, and
portion of that time it. has been the only medicine
under our roof Hardly ever do hear my chill
dren complain of being sick, without havingthem
ask in the same sentence for Pain Killer.
For several years before I became acquainted
with the Pain Killer, I had suffered a great deal
from an affection in my throat, thought by some
physicians to be Bronchitis, by others to be what
is called Ministers Sore Throat. At one time it
was so severe that 1 was obliged to give up
preaching. Within few months after | had
become acquainted with the Pain Killer, I had
another attack from that distressing complaint.
I tried my found medicine, and, to my as
constituent and delight, it produced wonder
fully. soothing effect. In short time l was
wholly relieved. Since that time | have had
number of attacks of the same nature and the
Pain Killer has always afforded me relief. About
one year since, my wife became subject to severe
suffering from Rheumatism Our resort, as usu-
al, was to the Pain Killer, which would always
relieve her.
Ihave not time now to say more as could
with a hearty good will and always have done,
in praise of the Pain Killer. 1t this hastily writ
ten letter. in commentator of Perry Davis
valuable medicine will be of any service, you
are at liberty to do with it as you please.
Very truly you1s,

Conference of NJ. E. Church North. ,

On Monday, the 9Th inst the Conference of
the VI. Il. Church North adjourned.
A paper signed By Phelps, Milburn. and
Mitchell, says:
we have been denounced as house stealers
and robbers, but this will not divert us from
our purpose, if-possble to possess them
Those who contributed to build them gave
their means in good faith to provide places for
the worship OF God, to be conducted under the
authority Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and an attempt to divert the trusts if success
full, breach of the contract. We cannot con-
sent that this contract shall be broken. We
have driven no one from those temples, and
those who have left voluntarily have no right
to take the property that, according to all just
principles, we are entitled to use. We doubt
not that when the season of passion shall have
passed away, rejecting and just men will accord
our claim. We make no claim to the property
that, under the plan of separation, passed to
the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
The whole claim is just this: The houses
were decided to IN. E. Church, the people
owning them joined the NJ E. Church South,
and Phelps would cheat them because of
the name Richmond Dispatch
