A Thief in the Night.

A midnight thief is bad enough, but a mid.
nigh4attack of cholera morbus is worse. A
poor child Frustrated, after n day of over
indulgence in summer fruit and berries, il
indeed an object of pity. Were there no
such remedy as PERCY DAvIs's PAIN KILLER,
the case of such child might be hopeless.
But it is thing which every parent should
know, that the PAIN KILLER" affords imme-
date, thorough relief in sudden cases of sum-
mer complaint, collie, and all this class of
diseases. Mr. M. o. Stinson. of Portsmouth,
N. H says he has so often found it useful
for his children when thus attacked, that he
never will be without it in his family. A man
with six children ought to be good Judge of
the efficacy of such remedy.
