Quoted until Friday night, protracted meeting
in this place, with great success. He preached
three sermons each day, in addition to exhorta-
lions, and conversations in prayer meetings, &c.
The influence he exerts over an audience is re-
markable Earnestness and simplicity are the
characteristics of his preaching, and the great
secret of his success. His sermons are not logi-
caly arranged but their effect is wonderful
Heis persuasive to greater degree than any
minister to whom we have ever listened. His
preaching awakened an active religious feeling
throughout all the churches Of the city, and
many persons have protested conviction, and some
conversion. 49, u

Pain Is, supposed to be the lot of us poor NOR
tails, as inevitable death itself and liable at any
time to come upon US. Therefore it is important
that remedial agents should be at hand to be used
on an emergency, when the seminal principle
lodged in the system shall develope ITSELF and we
feel the circulating agonies of pain, or the de-
pressing influence Of disease Such a remedial
agent exists in the PAIN KILLER, whose fame has
made the circuit of the globe. Amid the eternal
ices of the polar regions beneath the intolera-
BILE and burning of the tropics its virtues are
known and appreciated. Under all latitudes,
from the one extreme to the other, suffering hu-
mainly has found relief from many of its ills by
its use y The wide and broad area over which
this medicine has spread attests its value and po-
tency. From q small beginning, the Pain Killer
has pushed gradually along, making its own
highway, solely by its virtues.
Such unexampled success and popularity has
brought others into the field, who have attempt
ed under similarity of name, 70 usurp the conf
dence of the people and turn it their own sell
fshness and dishonesty, but their efforts have
proved fruitless, while the Pain Killer is still
growing in public favor.
