The "Pain Killer" may justly be styled the
great medicine Of the world, for there is no re-
gion of the globe into which it has not. found
lis. way, and been largely used and highly
priced. Moreover, there is no claim TO which
it has net proved TO be we'll adapted for the
cure Of a considerable variety of diseases it is
a speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts,
bruises, wounds and various other injuries, as
well as for dysentery, diarrhoea and bowel COM
plants generally, it is admirably suited for
every race of men on the face ofthe globe.
1t is very significant fact, that notwiihstand-
ing the long period of years that the pain
Killer has been before The world, it has never
lost one whit of its popularity, but, on the
contrary, the call for it has steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous time
has the demand for it been so great, or the
quantity made been so large, as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, 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 tirst discovered and introduced. That
the Pain Killer viii continue TO be, what we
have styled 1t the great medicine of the world,
there cannot be the shadow OF doHbt.-Pro-
