PAIN-K i L HiIMi,
Ami after thirty years' trial, the 41 'ain-Kii.i.i:k i,
may justly bo styled tho great medicine of'tlie j
world, for there is no region of the globe into (|
which il has 1101 found its way, ami none
where it has not been largely and highh pri/.ul.
Moreover, there is no climate to which ii has
not proved itself to he well adapted for the oi
euro of considerable variety of diseases ; it is \i
admirably situated for every race, it has
lost none of its good name by repeated trials
b;tt continues to occupy a prominent, position
in every medicine chcsi; and is still receiving
tho most umptalilied testimonials to i'.*- vir- (i
toes, fro in persons of the highest character ! j|
and responsibility. IMiy.sk ions ot lirst rospeo- ! ^
lability reeoinend it as a most elfectwal prcpa. |
ration for the extinction of pain, ll is not
only the best remedy ever known for It ruses, '
Cuts, Hums, Ac., but for Dysentary or Choi- '
cm a, or any sort oi bowel complaint, it is a p
remedy unsurpassed for cllieiency and rapid jj
ity ot action. In the groat cities, it. has he- y
come the standard Medicine tor all such
complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver N
Complaints, and other kindred disorders "
For Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, and 1>
Khcntnalic dMHculties, it lias been proved by
the most abundant and convincing teslimonj ?
to l>e an invaluable medicine. No article
ever atta'ned such unbounded popularity. 1
As an external medicine, the Fain-Killer ^
stands unrivalled. v
Thirty Vcars are certainly a long enough 0
I time to prove the ertlciency of any medicine, },
j and that the PAiN'-Ktf.l.KU is deserving of all j
; its proprietors claim for it, is amply proved
by the unparalellcd popularity it has
, attained. It is a sure and effective remedy.,
It is sold in almost every country in the world

"I'would from many a blunder free us, H
And foolish notion."
I once knew a man, who was a very
cleaver sort of a fellow, remarkable
lor t he kindness of his heart and \vil? r
lingncss to do a Iriend a favor. But
like many ethers, he was in the habit
of taking a social glass. At first, it
was mainly to please his friends, and
to keep from seeming unsociable, lie
had no fears of becoming a drunkard (
or even of liquor injuring him. Alter '
awhile he began to like it; as he '
drar.k at first to please his friends, he (
soon began to drink to please himself. '

lie was a business man, and quitw
prosperous. In a little while he began
to lose his customers, business
became slack, and this gave him more
time to be with his "friends," and of
courso he drank more frequently.
Soma ot his Jtriend* saw that he was

Hul ho could see no danger; and n
id he drank on. Having lost his
istomors, ho began to lose his friends. t
no and another shunned him, until 1 1
> and his boon oo/npanions were left *
most to themselves. 1
His clothes became dilapidated and j 1
read-bare. His face was red and j
oated, and his whole personal ap. ;
aranco was disgusting.
One Sabbath morning he? stood,

le appearance of a gentleman, instead

No one is safe who ever drinks wine
r strong drink as h beverage. rshun :
as you would a pestilence.
"I cc.n Novor b3 a Drunkard." 1
Tn our youth we had a very dear
ieud who often used this expression, i
le was a proud hoy and a prouder ! ,
tan. lie was lond ol what the world I
abs pleasure, and finally rushed into j
ui vortex that leads to rum. Social |
i his nature lie was often tempted at
arties to take wine, and berated his
'iends who rt f used when ho accepted. 1
tad when, in his calm moments, these ,
cry friends" would warn him of his

The lribit grew upon linn, and after ;
while lie commenced taking his dram ;
egularlv. Ashamed of his habit, and
earful that liis family, and friends
I'oubl discover it he used cloves and j
iher articles to destroy the smell ol :
is breath. Often remonstrated with j
iy wulchlul friends, he would deny
!uit he had gone to any excess.
The writer removed to Texas and
eturncd to his old home where his
liend lived, about seventeen years aflrwards,
and the first time hv sawjiiin
le was down on t he sidewalk drunk,
aid a year afterward lie was found dead
n the same street.
Young men, beware! There is not
mo in ten thousand that ean always

it all you are m danger. The devlish
ngenuity of man has truoly given you j
he means of destroying the smell ol
