ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
PAAM--KILL1ER.

DEAR srRs: During residence of some ten years
in Siam and China as missionary, l found your
Killer most valuable remedy for that fearful
scourge the Cholera
In administering the medicine found II most ef-
fectual to give tcaspoonful of Pan-Kier in gill
of hot water sweeened with sugar; then In about hf-
teen minutes begin to give a Tablespoonful OF the
same mixture every few minutes until reliefwas OBJ
tained. Apply hot applications TO the extrenities.
Bathe the stomach with the Pain Killer, clear, and
rub the limbs briskly. OF those who had the Chole-
"a, and took the medicine faithfully, in the way
stated above, eight out OF ten recovered.
REV r. TELFORD, Missionary in China.
DEAR SIRs: During long residence in China
have used your valuable Pain-Killcr, both In my
own family and among the Chinese, and haIa found
it most excellent medicine. in the summers Of
1862 and 1863, while residing in Shanghai, found
it an almost certain cure for cholera If used in time.
Indeed using 1t in great many instances, do not
remember falling 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 resources In cases of sickness
The Cinese como to us In great numbers for medi
cine and advice. Though without medical know
ledge ourselves the few simple remidies we can
command are so much In advance even Of their ply
sicians, that we have almost daily applications. W
allow them to come because il brings into contac
with them and opens door Of usefulness. In diar-
rhea collie, vomiting, cholera coughs, etc. your Pain
Killer has been my chief medicine. Yours, very
truly,
Those using Pan-Kiler should strictly observe the
following directions:
At the commencement of the disease, take tea
spoonful of Pain-Killer, in sugar ana water, and
then bathe freely across the stomach and bowels
with the Pan-Kicr clear. Should the diarrhea and
cramp continue, repeat the dose every fifteen min
utcs. In this way the dreadful scourge may be
checked and the patient relieved in the course Of
few hours
N.B-Bc sure and get the genuine article; and 1t
is recommended by those who have used the Pain
Killer for the cholera that in extreme cases the pa
tent take two Tor more tea spooniuls instead OF one
The PAIN-KILLER is sold by all the Druggists
and Dealers In Family Medicines.
