The Foreign and domestic demand for Perry
Davis 4 soD's 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
laration may be made, without the possibility of
refutation, that the city Of Providence, Rhode
Island, has furnishe ed 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 widespread, enduring popularity has
never been equalled by any medicine in Europe
or America.
The universally of the demand for the Pain
Killer is o 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 State to the
Sandwich Islands, to Cuba and other West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe;
to Mozambique Madagascar, Zanzibar and other
African lands, to Australia and Calcutta, n:.ri-
goon and other places in india II has also been
sent to China, and we doubt if there is any for
eign port any inland city in Africa or Asia,
which is frequented by American or European
missionaries, travellers traders, into which the
Pain Killer has not been introduced and been
sought AFTER. iced 70esr7U ar'-a
The extent of its usefulness is another great
feature Of this remarkable medicine. It is not
only the best thing ever known, as everybody
will confess, for bruises, cuts, burns &c., but
for dysentery or cholera, or any sort of bowel
complaint it is remedy unsurpassed for eficien-
cy and rapidly 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-
pretors are in possession of letters from persons
of the highest character and responsibility, tes-
hfying in unequiyocal terms, to the cures effect
ed and the satisfactory results produced in an
almost endless variety of cases, by the use of
this great medicine Advertiser

HEAVY FOR CH1oAao.-The Chicago Post
got off the following, last week, and its cdi-
tor still lives:
It is here in the West where the majestic
lakes, and the broad praries, like the billow-
ed ocean, expand the view and enlarge the
soul; swhere the greatest of rivers muir
murs evcrmore through series Of the grand
est and richest valleys of earth; where the
sun shines brightest in the bluest of skies
where the glories of summer cause forgetful-
ness of the useful severity Of winter-it is
here that we may expect thoughtful men to
gain notable victories over prejudice, super
stition, and mere authority, making broader
the sphere of discussion, Of opinion, of reli-
gion; even establishing the truth that we are
the children, and not the slaves, of the Al
mighty.
