The protracted drought in this section has seri-
ously affected the corn crop. A good crop is now
impossible, though good season from now on
might make the late corn do pretty well if there
should not be early frost. A considerable
proportion of the early corn is beyond the hope
of recovery.

DEAR SIR:-You recollect when saw you in

sanguine expectations that DAVIS PAIN Kill
LER would have tremendous sale IN the west
this season, and my anticipations have been more
than realized, and the testimony ofthousands who
have used it has been that they would rot be will
ing to go to bed at night without it in the house.
On the appearance of the cholera in this city,
such was the confidence in the Pain Killer as a
remedy, that many who purchased it remar ked
to me that they had no fears or dread ofthe chol-
era as long as they had the Pain killer by them,
and hundreds took 1t daily as a preventative. for
no person can have arrangement ofthe bowels or
diarrhea if they use this medicine. This was the
security and confidence of hundreds acquainted
with it, and when their friends were attacked
with the Cholera they would administer the rem
edy in large quantities, and in every case when it
has been taken in any of the first stages of this
disease, it has proved successful.
l consider it an infallible remedy. | have not

the Pain Killer when attacked but speedily re-
covered.

gave immediate relief but still it should be given
quickly. for when the discharge of rice WATER
has begun. the hope of life has fled. Should this
disease make its appearance among you, as in all
probability it will, be not alarmed; you and all
others there have the remedy and am confident
if the Pain Killer is used, not single death by
Cholera will occur in your city.
