~ASIATIC CHOLERA IN
China. Almost every case cured with PAIN
KILLER.
From Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China,
4. now visiting his home in Penny
,-,l-. ...... WARRINGTON, Penn.
DEAR SIRs During residence Of some
ten years as missionary in Siam and
China, found your Vegetable Pain Killer a
most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge,
the Cholera.
In administering the medicine found
it most efectual to give teaspoonful of
Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened
with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes
begin to give about teaspoonful of the
same mixture every few minutes until relief
was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Battle the stomach with
the Pain Killer, clear, and rub the limbs
and took the medicine faithfully in the way
siared above, eight out of ten recovered.
Truly yours,
If attacked with The Diarrheea, Dyseneery,
Camp. Collie, don's delay TIC use Of the
PAIN KILLER.
-: 49,. FUNaCHoW, CHINA.
DEAR Substituting long residence in
China / have used your Invaluable Pain
Killer, both in my own family and among
the Chinese. and have found it most ex>
cellent medicine. In the summer of 1862
and '63, while residing in Shanghai, found
it an almost certain cure for Cholera, if used
in time. Indeed, using it in a great many
instances, do not remember failing in a
single case. For three years have been
residing in this place, more than fifty. miles
from physician, aud have been obliged to
fall often upon my own resources in cases of
sickness. The Chinese come to Us in great
numbers for medicine and advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, the
few simple remedies we can command are
so much In advance even of their physicians,
that we have almost daily applications. We
allow them to come, because it brings rs in
contact with them, and opens door of use-
fulness In diarrhea, collie, vomiting. chol>
era, coughs, etc. your PAIN KILLER has
been my chief medicine. -
Yours, very truly, ,-...-. 1914.

The numerous successful experiments
OF silk, woolen, lace and linen cotton
manufacturers in several States, and still
more extensively in Europe, have created
. demand for this new and valuable sta
pie far beyond the present production OF
means Of supply. 1t is discovered that
the ramie grown on the alluvial lands OF
the lower Mississippi has very long and
exceedingly fine 6bre, far superior to
that grown in its native country, Java,
and that the yield per acre is greater.
In any Of the more Southern Cotton
States ramie can be harvested at least
three times year. and each harvest or
cutting will produce between nine and
sWslss hundred pounds making 40 aver.
age annual crop Of about three thousand
pounds crude anprepared 6bre, worth at
present in Europe ten cents specie per
pound Ia preparing the fibre for man
ufacsarlng purposes it loses about one
bali, Increasing IL in value to sixty five
esntsper pound. Thus it Is apparent
that ramie, requiring comparatively little
tslsgs to produce such magnificent re.
colts, isshelmost profitable crop that the
planter can cultivate.
The 6bre, when prepared for the spin
ner. is beautifully white, soft and glossy,
closely resembling hoss silk in appear

TaB ALABAMA CLAINs.-Since it has
been evident that England is not quite
disposed to lick the dust in the matter
of the Alabama claims, the '''more judi
.eious" papers at the North are beginning
90 see that it is perhaps not wise, and
possibly not altogether just to push the
matter too far or to be too unreasonable
IN their demands that the sweeping
claim Was rather an expression Of woun-
dsd feelings than calm assertion of
rights, 10 DO snsintsined at every cost;
though IS il is, it is very we'll that John
Bun should know what the national
seaAng is. etc. etc. Though they suck
blood, they viii some mercy show.
Now how unfortunate it is that they
did not think of this before when it
.woold have come from them with so
much better grace. The North has fre-
Quently been compared to Pistol; but
Pistol ate his iees, honestly acknowl-
edsing compulsion, and with no hypo.
