ga LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE"
1t is but about sixty years ago that the At
lantic Ocean was first crossed by steam ves-
sci. This vessel was the Savannah, of 800 ton
burthen. She took twenty-six days to make
the passage to Liverpool. This was not sufi-
GENTLY encouraging to warrant the creation of
an ocean steam fleet. Sailing vessels could do
almost as we'll, at less expense, and with no
danger OF blowing up. In those days even
commercial and scientific people were opposed
tochange.Such an eminent scientist as DR. Die
nysius Lardner declared steam for ocean nayi-
CATION to be impracticable So it was not uu-
til ten years had elapsed that steamers were
tried with any considerable success Then It
was In British waters. II led to further trials
and successes and in 1888 the Sirius and the
Great Western triumphantly crossed the
ocean. 1t was now established that ocean
steamers could be made both practicable and
profitable. In 1910, the famous "Brittania"
made her first passage, and regular traffic be-
gan, by the aid of large subsidies from the
British Government. AT first the steamers
crossed every three or four weeks. After
while they multiplied SO as to make semi
monthly trips. Now, the Pacific Ocean, as
well as the Atlantic, is alive with them. 1t is
almost as common thing to cross the ocean as
to take Journey by rail. The tourist who has
plenty OF money and a year to spare, can go
around the world with almost as great comfort
as he could enjoy in staying at home.
Forty years ago there began to go around the
world one OF the most beneicent agents for
the alienation of human misery that has ever
been known. It started in humble way;
more so, indeed, than did the first ocean voy-
ayers. Without subsidies from the govern
ment, and without the endorsement of the
learned or scientific men of the day, it went
entirely on its own merits, and worked its way
because it helped suffering humanity. 1t had
its origin in the home of a man who was an in
valid and cripple. He had found to his
great cost that the prescriptions OF the doctors
failed to give him the relief he needed. So he
set to work studying out his own case and de-
vising something to kill the pain which had
almost killed him. He achieved a wonderful
success.
"This thing was not done in corner" The
beneficent operation of such a healing agency
could not be kept a secret Friend toldifriend,
neighbor told neighbor. The fame of Perry
Davs's Pain Killer was noised abroad. For
some time Mr.. Davis supplied the demand from
the little laboratory in his own homo at Prov-
dence. But this was no longer possible when
thousands and thousands of bottles of the
Pain Killer were daily called for. A large fac
tory was established, which thas since been en-
larged many times, owing to the greatly and
constantly increasing demanA for Pain Killer.
1t was not alone in our own land that the hap
py effects of Pain Killer were made known
Such healing influence was too valuable to be
confined to one country or one continent.
