have won for itself reputation unsurpassed
in the history of medicinal preparations. It's
instantaneous effect in the entire eradication
and extinction Of Pain, in all it's various forms
incidental to the human family, and the unso-
licited written and verbal testimony Of
the masses in its favor, have been, and are, it's
own best advertisement.
For evidences in favor of the PAIN KILLER
for Minister'S Sore Throat or Bronchitis. read
the following:
GENzs: Tho Pam KILLER has been a con-
slant occupant OF our house for over two
years, and y portion OF tho time 1t has been
the only medicine under our roof. Hardly
ever do have any children complain of being
sick, without having them ask in the same
sentence for Pain Killer.
For several years before became acquaint-
ed with the Pain Killer, had suffered great

light, 1t produced wonderfully soothing
effect. In q short time was wholly relieved
Since that time have had number of at
| tacks 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
| usual, WAS to the Pain Killer, which would
| always relieve her.
