PAIN KILLER
A CURE FOR DIPTHERIA

[ST FARN hkLAEh
N& MXA A CURE FOR DIPTHERIA!
So ~ All interested, please read the fol-
WX@M lowing extract from letter from
&oMEM Mrs. Ellen B. Mason, wife of Rev.
Francis Mason, Tounghoo, Birmah:
My son was taken violently sick with dip
liberia, cold chlls, burning fever and throat.
counted one morning ten little vesicles in his
throat, very white and his tongue, towards the
root, just like watermelon. full of seeds; the
remainder coated as thick knife. blade. So
many children have died around here. l was
afraid to call physician, and thought / would
try your Pain Killer for gargle, with small do
ses inwardly did SO, and found the gargle in
variably cut Oft the vesicles, and he raised them
up, often covered with blood. He was taken on
Sunday; on Wednesday his throat was clear,
and his tongue rapidly clearing off. l also used
1t as a linment with castor oil and hortshorn,
for his neck. 1t seemed to me wonderful cure,
and L 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.
have found your Pain Killer one of the most
valuable medicines ever used in Burmah. Once
was stung by very large black scorpion: the
pain was indescribable. Immediately applied
the Pain Killer, (for never travel without it,
again and again, and in half an hour my foot
was well.
DR.. Walton writes from Coschocton-sY our
Pain Killer cures this new disease-DiptheriG or
Sore Throat-that is so alarmingly prevalent
here; and it has not been known to fail in any
instance when used in time This fact you should
make known to the world. Ut is used in this
disease as a gargle and lotion, as we'll as tonic
and stimuant)
In Halifax, where this disease prevailed for
many months in its most malignant form, the use
of Perry Davis' pain RiLles'' 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 stimu-
liant. ian4-1m
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 judicious 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 unphiosophicsl practice is con-
tinued in the teeth of the great fact that physi-
cal weakness, with all the nervous disturbances
that accompany 1t, is more certainly and rapidly
relieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than by
any other medicine at present known. tits true
that general debility is often attended with tor
pidity or irregularty 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 mast be re-
cauited. The Bitters do both. They combine
aperient and anti-bious properties, with extra
ordinary tonic power. Even while removing
Instructions from the bowels, they tone and in
vigorate those organs. Through the stomach,
upon which the great vegetable specific acts di-
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 braced, and all
the dormant powers of the system reused into
healthy action; not Systematically, as would be
the case if mere stimulant were administered,
but for continuance 1t 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
thartc supplemented by poisonous astringent
like strychnine or quinia.
