CERTIFICATE.

The State Inspector of Georgia, says;
The recent analysis of Clark's Ammoniatcd
Dissolved Bone warrants me in pronounoing
it a highly reliable compound for the early
and effective nutrition of crops, with suffi-
cient quantity of ammonia to stimulate, de-
velop and sustain the plant. 1t contains a
heavy proportion of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
to sustain an ample fruitage. 1t, therefore,
has an official sanction as good fertilizer.

After this, SOW cabbage, tomato, egg plant

and mulch your strawberry and raspberry
beds and orchards. Your vegetables and fruits
will be larger and better for it, and the yield
greater.
Go to the hollows and sinks in the forest

The Most Popular Medicine Extant.
1910. Over 80 Years, 1878. B
SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF
PERRY DAVIS
PAIN KILLER!

And after thirty years. trial the " "PAIN-KIII-
LER" may justly be styled the great medicine
of the world, for there is no region of the globe
into which 1t has not found its way, and none
where it has not been largely and highly priced.
Moreover, there is no climate to which 1t has
not proved itself to be well adapted for the cure
of considerable variety of diseases 1t Is admir-
ably suited for every race. II has lost none of
its good name by repeated trials, but continues
to occupy prominent position in every medi-
cine chest and is still receiving the most un-
qualified testimonials to its virtues, from per-
sons of the highest character and responsibility.
Physicians of the first respectability recon-
mend 1t as most effectual preparation for the
extinction of pain. Il is not only the best
remedy ever known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns,
&C., but for Dysentery or Cholera, or any sort
of bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsurpassed
for efficiency and rapidlty of action: In the
great cities of India aud other hot climates, 1t
has become the Standard Medicine for all such
complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, and other kindred disorders. For
Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, and Rheu-
matte difficulties, 1t has been proved by the
most abundant and convincing testimony to be
an invaluable medicine. No article ever at
tained such unbounded popularity. AS an ex-
ternal and internal medicine, the Pain-Killer
stands unrivaled.
Thirty Years are certainly a long enough
time to prove the efficiency of any medicine,
and that the PAIN-KILLER is deserving of all
its proprietors claim for it, is amply proved by
the unparalleled popularity it has attained. 1t
is sure and effective remedy. 1t is sold in al
most every country in the world, and is becom-
ing more and mord popular every year. Its
healing properties have been fully tested, all
over the world, aud 1t needs only to be known
to be priced Be sure you buy none but the
genuine, manufactured by PERRY DAVIS &
Son, Providence, r. l.

general order has been promulgated by the
President of the Pennsy lvania Railroad
Company, to take effect, as will be seen, on
the first day of January next.
"The great demand for the services of
railroad employees in the various depart
ments of this and other railroad companies
having, during several years past, gradual
ly caused an increas of the various salaries
and wages of those engaged by them, to
an extent which the present condition of
the business of the company does not war
rant, and reduction appearing to be neces-
sary to meet the altered financial condition
of the country, the Board of Directors have
ordered that uniform reduction of ten
per cent be made in the payment for SER
vices of all officers and employees of every
grade, to take effect on and after the 1st of
January, 1874.
