The PAIN KILLER is by univ, rsal consent al-
lowed to have won for itself reputation unsur-
passed in the history of medical preparations.
Its instant aols effect in the eradication and ex-
tnction of Pain in all it's various forms incident
to the human family, and the unsolicited written
and verbal testimony OF the masses in its favor,
have been, and are its own best advertisements.


The ingredients of the PAIN KILLER, being
purely VEGETABLE, render it . perfectly safe and
eiiicacious remedy taken internally, well as
for cytcrnal applications, When used according
TO directions. The stain upon linen from its
use is readily removed by washing with alcohol.


This Medicine, Justly celebrated for the cure
of so many of the affections incident to the hu-
man family has now been before the public over
THIRTY YEARS, and has found its way into almost
every corner of the world and wherever it has
been used, the same opinion is expressed Of its
medical properties.


In any attack, where promptaction upon the
system is required the Pain Killer is invaluable.
Its almost instantaneous effect in Relieving Pain
is truly wonderful; and when used ac ,ording to
directions, is true to its name, n p AIN KILLER.

Some people wonder why il is
that they possess no friends. They
live in fine houses, dress in costly
garments, appear in royal turnouts,
and scatter their money with a pro-
digal hand, but somehow their
neighbors shun them, and people
of far less means are received and
passed along in society from which
wholly with themselves. Ten to
one if everything they do is not
promted bya selfish motive, which is
so apparent as TO repel everybody
but parasites and leechees. 1t is
within the power of all to make and
keep friends if we hold selfishness off
at arms length and cultivate kind
ness of heart and courtesy of man
ner- 'Gentleness,' SAYS Samuel
Smiles, ''is hkeNthe silent influence
of light which gives color to all ma
tUre it is far more fruitful. Little
courtesies, (which from the small
change of life, may separately ap-
pear of little intrins sic value, but
they acquire their importance from
repetition and accumulation. Afia-
biiity apd good breeding may even
be regarded as essential to the sue
cess of man in any eminent station
and enlarged sphere of life f; for the
want of them has not unfrequently
been found, in great measure, to
neutralize the results of much in
dustry, integrity and honesty of
character" We have but to act on
the suggestion here thrown out, in
order to surround ourselves with
friends.

You probably think that if you
look very sharply at an old shoe
when you throw it away, you will
know il again if it ever comes back

follow. One of these days you may

of slippers, comb your hair with a
boot, or grasp a cast-of gaiter in

be? Well, we viii tell you.


Old shoes are turned TO account by
manufacturers in the following
manner: they are cut into very small
pieces, and Kept for a couple of days
in chloride of sulphur. The effect
of this is to make the leather hard
and brittle. Next, the material is
withdrawn from the action of the
chloride. of sulphur, washed with
water and dried. When thorough
ly dry it is ground TO powder, and
mixed with some substance like
glue or gum, that causes il to adj

into molds and shaped into buttons,
