CHOLERA Z,

...s
The following letter is from Mr.. Woodward Of
St. Louis, to ]. N. Harris, ESQ., of New Lon
don. Conn. Mr.. w. is gentleman of high res
probability, and during the prevalencs' of the
cholera in st. Louis watched the result of the
application of the Pain Killer for this disease,
and his testimony can be relied upon with the
utmost confidence: sA aetse ignp-.f ~
DEAR SIR You recollect when saw you in
January last, my expressing to you my most sam
gune ex pectations that DAVIS PAIN Kill
LER would have a tremendous sale in the west
this season. and my anticipations have been more
than realized and the testimony of thousands
who have used it has been that they would not
be willing to go to bed at night without it in the
house. n. IA. q .fer.s ~ { -
On the appearance of the cholera in this city,
such was the confidence in the Pain, Killer as q
remedy, that many who purchased it remarked
to me that they had no fears or dread of the chol-
era as long as they had the Pain Killer by them.
and hundreds took it daily preventive, for
no person can have q arrangement of the bow
els or dlarrhoea if they use this medicine. This
was the security and confidence of hundreds ac-
qualnttd with it, and when their friends were at
tackled with the cholera they would administer
the remedy in large quantities, and in every case
when 1t has been taken In any OF the first stages
of this disease, it has proved successful. 2
l consider it an infallible remedy. / have not
heard of any individual in any family who used
the Pain Killer when attacked but speedily re-
covered.
The clerk informed me that he administered it
to persons when cold or in the cramps, and it
gave immediate relief but still itshould be given
quickly, for when the discharge of rice water
has begun, the hope of life has fed. 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.
sseta.v Respectfully yours, tj
A. T. WOODWARD. 1f

ColuDIe Pacific Guane. Improyeel in
y Quality and COnditiOn.-The quality
of this Guano is materially improved this season
by the addition to its composition of large
per cent, of the Salts of Potash.
Its improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
orifces of the Wheat Drill
More than ST. .00O,0 900 is involved in the pro-
duoton, of this Guano and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has far greater
interest in the maintenance of the quality of its
Guano than any number of consumers can have !;
hence no apprehension need exist to its con-
tinued excellence
