PAIN KILLER!
FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS
Perry Davis Vegetable Paln-KiIIer

Has been tested IN every Variety Of Climate and
by almost evcry Nation k1aop1 TO ARlericdns.
1t is the constant companion and estimable
friend of the missionary and the traveller, on
sea and land, and no one should travel on our
Lakes or Rivers without II.
1t has been before the public for over thirty
years, and probably has wider and better
reputation than any other proprietary medicine
OF the present day. At this period there are
but few unacquainted with the merits Of the
Pain-Killer but while some extol 1t as lini-
ment, they know but little of its power in cas-
ing pain when taken internally, while others
use II internally with great success, but are
equally ignorant of its healing virtues when
applied externally. We therefore wish to say
to all that II is equally successful whether used
internally or externally, and 1t stands to-day
unriValled by all the great catalogue of family
medicines It is sufficient evidence of its vir-
tues as a standard medicine, to know that it is
now used in all parts Of the world, and that its
sale Is constantly increasing. No curative
agent has had such wide spread sale or given
such universal satisfaction. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe In un-
skilled hands.
Afler thirty years trial, is still receiving the
most unqualified testimonials to its virtues,
from persons of the highest character and re-
sponsibility. Physicians of the first respecta-
bility, recommend 1t as most cffectual pre-
paration 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 remedy
unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidity Of ac-
tion. In the great cities of India, and other
hot climates, II has become the Standard Med
icine for all such complaints, as well as Dys-
pepsia, Liver Complaints, and other kindred
disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Canker,
Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundance and con-
vincing testimony to be an invaluable medi-
cine.
Be,Ddre of all Imitation.
The Pain-Kiler is sold by all respectable
druggists throughout the United States and
foreign countries.
Prices-25 cents, so cents and 81 per bottle

t& A war on the liquor dealers has been
waged and won in Washington, Ohio, by
the women. Eighty of them organized for
the conflict. While some remained in the
village church and tolled the bell, others
went to the saloons in squads of dozen or
SO and argued with the proprietors. All
but one capitulated at once. The excep-
tion was Pat Slater, who said that his bus
iness was his own business and nobody's
else, and he would stick to it in spite of all
the women in Washington. He swore at
the youngest and prettiest of his oppo-
nents, and was utterly impervious to the
soft words and coaxing. While they held
prayer meetings in his bar-room he sold
drinks to the few men whose cravings were
strong enough to make them bold. The
conflict went on for a week, the women
relieving each other and occupying the
saloon, singing and praying from early
every morning until late every night. One
bitter cold day Pat sprinkled the floor with
water and opened the doors and windows.
The women built a bonfire in the streets,
and by going out occasionally to warm
themselves, stood it like little men. They
all got sore throats, however, and for the
use Of the next days detail booth was
fitted up across the sidewalk with a stove
in it, Finally Pat incautiously sold liquor
to minor in violation of Ohio law,and was
prosecuted SO vigorously that he capitu-
lated. There is not now drinking place
open in the village. The property owners
have signed pledge not to rent premises
for liquor selling, the druggists to sell none
except on a physicians prescription, and
the physicians not to prescribe it except it is
absolutely necessary. A similar movement
is now going forward in Greenfield, Ohio.
