were engaged in turning the carriage.
A young man evpied them, and desire

For Over Thirty Years
Perry Davis Vegetable Pain.Killer
Has been tested in every variety Of
climate, and by almost every
nation known to americans.

II Is the constant companion and
estmable friend of the missionary and
the traveller, on sea and land, and no
one should travel on our Lakes or
Rivers without it.
1t has been before the public over
thirty years, and probably has wider
and better reputation than any other
roprletary medicine of the presentday.
At this period there are but few unac-
Quainted with the merits OF the Pain
Killer, but while some extol It as a lini-
ment, they know but little OF It's power
in easing pain when taken internally,
while others use itinternally with great
success, but are equally ignOrait Of its
healing virtues when appli ed extei nally.
We therefore wish to say to all that II is
equIlly successful whether used Intern
ally or externally, and 1t lands to-day,
unrivalled by ali the great catalogue OF
family medicines IL issufficient evidence
of its virtues as a standard medicine, to
know that 1t Is now used n all parts of
the world aud that It's sale Is constantly
increasing. No curative s,gent has had
such wide spread sale or given such
universal satisfactsOn. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe
in unskillful hands.
After thirty years trial. 1t is still receiv-
ing the most unqualified tes timonials to
its virtues, from persons of the highest
character and responsibility. Physi-
clans OF the first respectable ity, RECON-
inended 1t as most etfectI ial prepara-
tiOn for the extinction OF pain. 1t IL
not only the best remedy ever known
for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &C., but Tor
Dysentery or Cholera or any sort OF
bowel complaint, 1t is a reuedy unsur-
passed for efficiency and Fapidity OF
action. In the great cities OF India.
and other hot climates, 1t has becone
the Standard Medicine for all such
complaints, as we'll as for Dyspepsia.
Liver Complaints, ami other Kindred
disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Can
ker, Astham, and Rheumatic; difficult
ties, 1t has been proved by the most
abundant and convincing testimony u
be- an Invaluable medicine.
Beware Of al imitatiOms.
The Pain. Killer IL sold by respectable
druggists throughout the United States
ard foreign countries. l. r.t.

The Militia Tax.

Two or three weeks ago we pub
lished communication from a "Tax-
payer" asking information in regard to
the payment Of the militia tax of fifty
cents. We then stated that the law
was repealed last wi lter. and that pos
sibly there was some mistake in regard
to collecting the tax. Upon further in
quiry we find that the tax for 1873 was
levied and assessed previous to the re.
peal of the law in April lat, and there.
fore the Commissioners have authorized
its collection, and the opinion of par
ties competent to know is that its pay
ment must be made for 1878. Those
interested will therefore save trouble
and costs by meeting the demand without
further questioning.

CORRECTION.

In copying an article from the Inter
Ocean, headed, WISCONSIN Reform. .
we omitted correcting an error in the
same article-that of naming Judge HI.
l.. Palmer, instead of Judge Mann, as
the newly appointed Judge of Milwau-
kee county. Hon. H. L. Palmer was
regularly elected some time ago and re-
signed for better situation, offered to
and accepted by him. The description
OF the new Judge is perfectly correct,
however, and was certainly meant for
Mr.. Mann, who is Attorney for the liquor
league of this State, and notorious
Bourbon of the city of Milwaukee. We
are sorry that we Inadvertently mention
ed Judge Palmer in this connection, for
whom we entertain the highest regard as
a lawyer and gentlemen.
