THE GREAT MEDICINE OF THE WORLD


Perry Davis & Sons pam KILLER, may most
Justly be styled the great medicine of the world.
for there is region Of the globe into which it
has not found its way. and none where it has not
long been largely used and highly priced. More
over, there is cline to which it has not proved
to be well adapted for the cure of considerable
variety Of diseases; it is speedy and safe rem
edy for burns. scalis. cuts, bruises, wounds and
various other injuries, as we'll for dysenery.
diarrhoea, and bowel complaints generally, it is
admirably suited for every race of men on the
face of the globe.
1t is very significant fact, that notwithstand
ing the long period Of years that the pain XII
ler'' has been before the world, it has never lost
whit of its popular ty or shown tne least sign
of becoming unpopular; but on the contrary, the
call FOR it has steadily increased from its first dis
eoyery by that excellent and honored man. Perry
Davis. and at no previous times has the demand
for il been so great the quantity made been SO
large. as it is this day.
Another significant fact s, that nowhere has
the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, or
been more generally used by families and indi-
viduals than it has been here at home where it
was first discovered and introduced. and where
its proprietors. Messrs. Perry Davis s. Son, have
ever been held in high esteem. That the Pain
Killer will continue to be, what have styled
it, the great medicine Of the corld there cannot be
the shodow of a doubt.--Irouidence advertiser.
