ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
p Al NIX ILL E r!

Dear Sirs During residence of some ten
years in Siam and China, as a missionary found
your Pain Killer most valuable remedy for that
fearful scourge the Cholera.
In administering the medicine found it most
efectual to give a tea-spoonful of Pain Killer in
a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar then af-
ter about fifteen minutes, begin to give about a
tablespoonful of the same mixture every few min
utes until relief was obtained. Apply hot appli-
cations to the extremites Battle the stomach
with the Pain Killer, clear, and rub the limbs
briskly OF those who had the Cholera, and took
the medicine faithfully, in the way stated above,
eight out of ten recovered.
REV. R. TELFCRD, Missionary in China
Dear Sirs: During n long residence in China
have used your valuable pain-kier both in
INV own family and among the Chinese, and have
found il a most excellent medicine In the Sum-
mers of 1862 and 1868, while residing in Shanghai,
found it an almost certain cure for cholera If used
in time. Indeed, using it in great many in
stances 1 do not remember failing in single case
For three years have been residing in this place.
more than fifty miles from physician, and have
been obliged often to fall upon my own resources
ia cases of sickness. The Chinese come to US in
great numbers for medicine and advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, the few
simple remedies we can command are SO much In
advance even of their physicians. that we have al
most daily applications. We allow them to come,
because it brings US in contact with them and opens
a door of usefulness. In diarrhea, collie vomiting,
cholera, coughs, ETC., your Pain Killer has been
my chief medicine Yours, very truly.
REV. T. P CRAWFORD, Tungehow, China
Those using Pain Killer should strictly observe
the following directions
At the commencement of the disease, take a
teaspoonful of Pain Killer, in sugar and water, and
then bathe freely across the stomach and bowels
with the Pain Killer clear. Should the diarrhea
and cramp continue, repeat the dose every fifteen
minutes. In this way the dreadful scourge may
be checked and the patient relieved in the course
of few hours.
N. B.-Be sure and get the genuine article; and
it is recommended by those who have used the
Pain Killer for the cholera that in extreme cases
the patient take two Tor more) teaspoonfuls in
stead Of one.
The PAIN-KILLER is sold by all Druggists
and Dealers in Family Medicines.

President Adair, of the Georgia Western
Railroad, tells this story:
"a man had taken refuge from the sun
under beech, and lay enjoying the htful
breezes and the somber trothlness of the
country newspaper. Along the dusty road
came jogging a negro, mounted on mule,
both apparently asleep. As the somnolent
pal. approached the spot, some wicked spirit
gave the paper fiirt, and the mule instant
ly "swapped ends" leaving the negro
sprawling in the dirt. The negro, half rails
ed himself, and wiped theldnst off his eyes
and mouth, watched the retreating mule
for sometime in silence, but at length, un-
conscious of an audience, gave expression
to this philosophical soliloquy "Dat's what
makes me 'spise mule ~

WASHINGTON. Feb 19.-The President was at the
Capitol to-day and had an interview in his room
with Speaker Blaine and Representatives Garfield
and Banks the subject of the bill TO out the
provisions of the Treaty of Washington in relation
to the fisheries. The President said it wa the duty
of Congress TO pass this legislation without unneces
sary delay and he anxious that it should not be
allowed to fail by Of the pressure Of business
at the end of the session. He referred to the oppo
sition of certain fishing interests on the New
England coast. and said that this ought not
to be considered. because the Treaty left no
alternative to Congress but bound the United
States to provide for carrying out its PROVISIONS oy
the necessary legislation. He stated that the
Dominion Parliament and the Parliament of Prince
Edwards Island had adopted the legislation re-
quired of them permitting in-shore fishing Dy
Americans. and that Congress could not with pro-
prety longer delay to provide for the free impora
ton of Canadian-caught fish, stipulated IN the
Treaty.
The President afterward had q short intervie"
with several Influential Administration Senator'S

ference was the proposed Mormon legislation
