The efficacy Of Perry Davis world-renown.
Pain Killer in all diseases Of the bowels,
even in that terrible scourge, the Asiatic
cholera, has been amply attested by the most
convincing authority. Missionaries in China
and Inds have written home in commenda-

carry conviction to the most skeptical, while
its popularity in communities nearer home is
ample proof that the virtues claimed for it are
real and tangible. Among family medicines
it stands unrivaled.-BOstOn Courier.
The Saturday Even'g Gazette OF Boston,
says
It is impossible to find place on this broa
land where Perry Davis Pain-killer is not
known as a most valuable remedy for phys
ical pain. In the country, miles from physi-
clan or apothccary, the Psin-killer is cherish
ed as the exclusive panacea, and 1T never de-
ceives.
"Perry Davis Pain-Killer is really q VAL
liable medicament, and, mike most OF the ar
tcles of the day, is used by many physicians.
1t is particularly desirable in locations where
physicians are not near; and, by keeping 1t at
hand, families will often save the necessity OF
sending out at midnight for doctor. A bot.

The st. Louis Democrat says that
it is evident enough that in very many
departments of trade, industries and
commerce, st. Louis will not present
fattering report for the year 1878.
Its receipts of corn are two million
bushels less than last year. In pota-
toes there is falling off of one half,
and in other agricultural products
last years receipts were hardly main
tanned. In wood, tallow, supar, pig
iron, onions, lard, hemp and many
other articles there is a decrease.
There is gain in cotton, pork, to-
bacco and some other articles.

The ever increasing circulation OF tins ex-

ton to popular desires and needs. Indeed,
when we think into how many homes it
penetrates every month, we must consider it

been won by no appea! to stupid prcjudices
or depraved tastes.-BostOn Globe.
The character which this Magazine poss-
esses for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth,
and literary culture that has kept pace with,
if it has not led the times, should cause its
conductors to regard it with justifable COM
