DN All interested. please read the fol-
W~M lowing extract from letter from
SoAE@ Mrs. Ellen B. Mason, wife OF Rev.
Francis Mason Tounghoo, Birmah:
My son was taken violently SICK Win olp-
liberia, cold chlls burning fever, and sore throat
l counted one morning ten little veslcles In ms
throat, very white, and his tongue. towards the
root, just like a watermelon. full OF seeds the
remainder coated as thick as knife blade 30
many children have died around here, L was
afraid to call physician, and thought L would
try your Pain Killer for gargle, with small do
ses inwardy. l did so and found the gargle in
up, often covered with blood. He was taken on
Sunday; on Wednesday his throat was clear,
and his tongue rapidly clearing of. j.! also used
it as a liniment, with castor oil and hortshorn,
and I can but wish it could be known to the
many poor mothers in our land who are losing
so many children by this dreadful disease.
l have found your Pain Killer one OF the most
valuable medicines ever used in Burman. once
J was stung by very large black scorpion: the
pain was indescribable Immediately applied
the Pain Killer, (for never travel without 1t, }
again and again, and in half an hour my foot
was we'll.
DR.. Walton writes from Coschocton-"Yo our
Pain Killer cures this new disease-Diotherag or
Sore Throat-that is SO alarmingly, prevalent
here; and 1t has not been known to fall IN any
instance when used in time. This fact you should
make known to the world. Ut is used in this
disease as gargle and lotion, as we'll as tonic
and stimulant.)
In Halifax, where this disease prevailed for
many months in its most malignant form, the use
of Perry Davis' Pain Killer was invariably
attended with the most favorable results when it
was used ere the disease had made too much pro-
gress to preclude the use of so powerful a stimu-
liant. jan4-lm
Let Common Sense Decide.
What is the rational mode Of procedure in ca
ses of general debility and nervous prostration
Does not reason tell us that judicous stimulation
is required To resort to violent purgation in
such case is as absurd as it would be to bleed a
starving man. Yet it is done every day. Yes,
this stupid and unphilosophicsl practice is con-
tinued in the teeth of the great fact that physi-
cal weakness, with all the nervous disturbances
thai accompany it, is more certainly and rapidly
relieved by Hostetters Stomach Btters than by
any other medicine at present known. tits true
that general debility is often attended with tor
pdity or rregularity Of the bowels, and that this
symptom must not be overlooked. But while
the discharge of the waste matter of the system
is expedited or regulated, its vigor must be re-
cruited The Bitters do both. They combine
aperient and anti-bilious properties, with extra
ordinary tonic power. Even while removing
distractions from the bowels, they tone and in
vigorate those organs. Through the stomach,
upon which the great vegetable specific acts d.
rectly, it gives healthy and permanent impetus
to every enfeebled function. Digestion is facili.
tated, the taltering circulation regulated, the
blood reinforced with new accession of the ali
mentary principle, the nerves hraced, and all
the dormant powers of the system reused into
healthy action; not spasmcdicaHy, as would be
the case if a mere stimulant We're administered
but for continuance. It is in this way that such
extraordinary changes are wrought in the condi-
ton of the feeble, emaciated and nervous inva-
lids by the use of this wonderful corrective, al
terative and tonic. Let common sense decide
between such preparation and prostrating ca
thartic supplemented by poisonous astringent
like strychnine or quinia.
