The following letter is from Mr.. Woodward of
st. Louis, to j. N Harris, ESQ.,, .sof New Lon
oop, Conn. Mr.. w. is a gentleman Of high res
pectaolllty, and during the prevalence 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: a@i f,fr
DEAR SIR You recollect when saw you in
January last my expressing to you my most sam
guine expectations that DAVIS PAIN Kill
LEX 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. ia boss r0 8enetsisa
5 On the appearance of the cholera in this CITY.
such was the confidence in the Pain Killer as
remedy, that many who purchased it remarked
to me that they had fears or dread of the chol-
era as long as they had the Pain Killer by them,
and hundreds took it daily a preventive, for
no person can have arrangement of the bow
els or diarrhoea if they use this medicine. This
was the security and confidence of hundreds ac-
qnainted 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 it has been taken in any of the first stages
of this disease it has proved successful vgI
| 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 =
2. The clerk informed me that he administered it
to persons when cold or in the cramps, and it
gave Immediate relief, but still should 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.

We have used the Runion, Doyle, Montgomery
and P. Reeds Fan, manufactured at Salem, Vir-
ginia, and we have to-day tried the FAN manu-
featured by Mr. John Stoner, at Bridgewater
Rockingham county, and take pleasure in say
ing, whilst it is not as slightly in appearance as
some of the Fans named, it cleans the grain as
surpassed by any Of them. We further state
that every farmer, in our opinion, should own a
good wheat Fan, and We hope our people will
encourage Mr. Stoner and spend their money at
home in preference to sending abroad and get
ting an article that makes a greater display in
paint and appearance but does not clean grain
as we'll. PXRTLOw q LAMBERT
