Perry Davis Pain Killer, has been tested in ev-
ton known to Americans 1t is the almost con-
slant companion and the estmable friend of the
missionary and traveller, on sea and land, and no
one should travel on our Lakes and Rivers with
out it.
1t has been before the public over Thirty
Years, and probably has wider and better rep
utation than any other proprietary medicine
of the present day. AT this period there are but
few unacquanted with the merits of the Pain
they knowEbut little of its power in easing pain
when taken internally, while others use it inter-
naly with great success, but equally igno-
rant of its healing virtues when applied external
ly. We, therefore, wish to say to all that it is
equally successful whether used internally or
externally, and it stands to day, unrivaled by all
the great catalogue of Family Medicines. 1t is
sufficient evidence of its virtues as standard
medicine, to know that it is now used in all parts
of the world and that It's sale is constantly in
creasing No curative agent las had such wide
spread sale or given such universal satisfaction.
It is a purely vegetable compound, and perfectly
safe even in unskillful hands. ~
Be sure to call for it, and get the genuine Pain
Killer, as many worthless nostfums are attempted
to be sold on the great reputation of this valuable
medicine.

GUNNER COMPLAINT

~ OOM LAIN 4s-1u0 IaCI Is
y now too we'll established for any to at
tempt to controvert it, that most of the diseases
which often prove fatal in summer, are produced
which the stomach is disordered, the liver de-
ranged, the blood stagnated and the digestive
organs rendered inactive if not torpid. Cholera,
Cholera Morbus, Bilious and Cramp Cholic,
Dysentery, Diarrhea and such like complaints
terminate and thrive upon improper food and
often become so deep seated and fixed upon the
constitution, that the strongest and most active
mineral medicines are unable to arrest their
progress until the patient is PROSTATE, and all
hopes of relief are ended. Who is it that has
not seen fine, healthy infant adult seized
with one of the annoying diseases above spoken
of, and despite the skill and science of medical
gentlemen literally waste away under their treat
ment? And how is this treatment to be account
ed for? Simply by the fact, that instead of adj
ministering some remedy to stay the failing
strength of the afflicted, and at the same time
check the disease in its progress the remedy pre-
scribed aided in the exhaustion of the natural
strength, and at the time the disease was master
ed the sufferer prostrate and failing to excite
a reaction the patient died from the effect of the
poison administered to uproot the disease Not
so with Bakers Premium Bitters, which are
which have not only proved themselves the best
tonic in use, but have failed to correct dis
orders of the stomach and bowels when taken ac-
cording to directions. In the cure of Summer
Complaints they have no equal.
These incompatible Bitters are sold by DR.. N.

The Living Machin e.


Injure the main spring of watch and every
portion of the works become disordered. The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece of metal is to chronometer. It
influences the action of the other organs and
controls, to certain extent, the whole living ma
chine. The comparison may be carried further !;
for as the weakness or other imperfections of the
main spring is indicated on the face of the time
piece, SO also is the weakness or other disorder
of the stomach betrayed by the face of the inva-
lid. The complexion is sallow or faded, the eyes
deficient in lustre and intelligence and there is
worn, anxious expression in the whole counte-
nance which tell as plainly as written words could
do, that the great ,sourishiaag organ whose office
it is to administer to the wants of the body, and
to sustain and renew all its parts, is not perform
ing its duty, It requires renovating and regua-
ting, and to accomplish this end Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters may be truly said to be the one thing
needful. The broken main spring of watch
may be replaced by new one but the stomach
can only be repaired and strengthened, and this
is Of the objects of the famous vegetable re-
storative which for eighteen years has been wag-
ing successful contest with dyspepsia in all eli
mates AS specific for indigestion it stands
alone. When the resources of the pharmacopeia
have been exhausted, without, at best, doing
more than mitigating the complaint course of
this wholesome and palatable, yet powerful,
stomachic effects perfect and permanent cure.
In all cases Of dyspepsia the liver is more less
disordered, and upon this important gland, as
well as upon the stomach and bowels. the Bitters
act with disticctness, regulating and reinvigora-
ting every secretive and assmilating organ on
which bodily and mental health depend.

II is much the fashion to decry the present
aoe. 1t is said to be material and selfish We
are told that the nober and more disinterested
virtues of our ancestors have been overshadowed
and dwarfed by an insatate greed of gain; that
since the era of enlightened society, man was
meyer more sensual corrupt, never more the
slave of his grosser appetites and passions:

The world has progressed, is now rapidly pro-
crossing in moral Improvement. Wnetner thls
Improvement consists more In general amelora-
ton of the condition of the masses than In null
tiplcation of instances of individual morality and
piety, or whether the Improvement OF society mas
not been at the cost of individual excellence, L
shall not inquire 1t is unnecessary to the present
purpose for me to do so. Nor shall / maintain
that the moral advancement of mankind has been !!
uninterrupted and uniform; such, conceive, is
not the fact. The stream of moral progress may
not be compared to our noble Mississippi which
rising far in the frozen regions Of the north TO ws

times from excess brings to the inhabitants suffer

result each inundation adds to the permanent
fertility of the soil, -

way uses large quantities of tobacco, is never

READ AND THINK.-''A dull tool wastes time
and is never used except by dull fellow."-
True as preaching. Doing business or attempt
ing to do it in this age, without advertising, is
like using dull tool, and the merchant who
tries it is generally speaking, dull fellow. Not
one man in thousand who advertises literally
and judiciously, fails of success, while
there are hundreds who never succeed al
all, merely because they have not the pluck to
spend portion of their profits in making known
to purchasers their Whereabouts, and what they
have to sell. Attempting to do business without
advertising, is like using dull tool when keen
sharp one lies within reach
