This excellent Family medicine has been be-
fore the public over thirty gears, and probably
has wider and better reputation TIL any other
proprietary medicine of the present day. It is
sufficient evidence Of its virtues as 8 standard
medicine, to know that It's sale is constantly on
the increase. No curative agent has had such
wide spread sale, Or given such universal salts
faction. It is purely vegetable compound, and
perfectly safe. even in unskilful hands
Taken internally. it cures Dysentry, Cholera,
Diarth9a, Cramp and Paia in Stomach, Bowel
Complaint, Painters Collie, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion Sudden Colds, Sore
Throat. Coughs, &c.
Taken Externally. it cures Boils, Bruises, Fell
ons, Cuts, Burns, Scalds, old Sores, and Sprains,
Swellings of the Joints. Toothache, Pain in the
Face, Neuralgia aud Rheumatism, Chapped
HANGS, Frost-bitten Feet, So.
PAIN is supposed to be the lot of US poor
mortals, as inevitable death, and liable at any
time to come upon us. Therefore it is important
that remedial agents should be at hand to be
used on emergency, when we feel the excrucla-
ting. agony OF pain, or the depressing influences
of disease.
Such a remedial agent exists in BERRY DAVIS
Pain Killer" the fame OF which has extended
over all the earth. Amid the eternal ices of the
polar regions, or beneath the intolerable and
burning suns of the tropics its virtues are known
and appreciated And by it suffering humanity
has found relief from many of its ills. The eff
feet of the Pain Killer upon the patient, when
taken internally in eases of Cough, Cold, Bowel
Complaints, Cholera, Dysentery, and other at
fections of the system, has been truly wonderful,
and has won for it name among medical pre-
parations that can never be forgotten. Its sue
cess in removing pain, as an external remedy,
IN cases of Burns, Bruises Sores and Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of Insects &C., and other causes OF
suffering, has secured Tor it the most prominent
position among the medicines of the day. Be-
ware of Counterfeits and worthless limitations.
