KIND WORDS.

The Associated Reformed Presbyterian
savs-For years Perry Davis Pain, Killer has
been known as most useful family medicine
For pains and aches we know nothing so
good as the Pain Killer. For many internal
diseases it is equally good. We speak from
experience, and testify to Whit we know. No
family ought to be without bottle of Davis
Paia"Kiler.
MEssRs. PERRY DAVIS, & Son, Prov X. L.
Gents :--Although stranger to you | am
not to your invaluable medicine, Pan-killer.
| formed its acquaintance in 1871 ard am on
most intimate terms with it still; my expert
ence in its use confirms my belief that there
is no medicine equal to Pain-Killer for the
quick and sure cure of Summer Complaints,
Sore Throat, Group, Bruises and Cuts. l
have used it in all and found n speedy cnre
in every case.
Yours Truly, I'd. GARDINER, NJ. D.
Judging by our own experience whoever
once makes y trial of Perry Davis Pain
Killer, will not fail to recommend it widely
as an unequalled liniment, and valuable in
ternal remedy for colds and various other
complaints. Every Month.
The efficacy of Perry Davis ~ord-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 Indis have written home in commenda-
ton of this remedy in terms that should
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 unrivalcd.- Boston Courier.
The Saturday Even'g Gazette Of Boston,
says:
1t is impossible to find place on this broad
land where Perry Davis Pain.Killer is not
known as most valuable remedy for phys
ical pain. In the country, miles from physi-
clan or apothccary, the Pain-killer is cherish
ed as the exclusive panacea, and 1T never de-
cCives.
"Perry Davis Pain Killer is really q val.
liable medicament, and, mike most OF the ar
tces of the day, is used by many physicians.
1t is particularly desirable in locations where
physicians are not near; and, by keeping it at
hand families will often save the necessity OF
sending out at midnight for doctor. A bot.
tie should be kept in every house."-Boston
Trareller.
ave have tested the Pain-K!llcr, and as
sure on readers that it not only possesses all
the virtues claimed for it, but in many in
stances surpasses any other remedy we have
eyer known."-Herald Of Gospel Liberty.
