There can bc no doubt that it would contribu?* greatly to the future prosperity of this section of the Union if many amongst us would turn their energies und enpi ?1 in new channels of enterprise and business.

'lac Pain Killer is hy universal consent al? lowed to have won for issclf a reputation un? surpassed tn the history of medicalpreparations. Its instantaneous effect in the eradication and extinction of Pain in all its various forms in? cident to the human family, aud the unsolicited written and verbal testimony of the masses in its favor, have been, and are its owa best advertise? ments. Thu ingredients of the PAIN KiLL?r-, being puicly Vegettbic, render it a perfectly safe and etili-acious remedy taken internally, as well as for external applications, when used according to directions. The stain upon lir.cn from its ure is readily removed by washing with alcohol. This Medicine, justly celebrated for the cure of sn many of the afflictions incl lent of the human 1 family, has now been before the public over I thirty years, and has found its way iuto almost 1 every corner of the world; and wherever it has j been used, thc sane opinion is expressed of its Imedicul properties.

I Its almost instantaneous effect in Relieving Pain i is truly wonderful; and oben used according to directions, is true to its nome, a PAIN KIL I LEK._ I'nnnntverablc Argumente. Established facts are silent arguments which ? neither pen nor tongue can shake, and it is upon I established facts that the reputation of Hostct ? ur's Stomach Bitters, as a heal tb-preserving elixir, and a ?wi olcaome and powerful remedy, is based. When witnesses come forward io crowds, year after year, and reiterate tba ss me statements in relation to the beneficial effects of a medicine ' upon themselves, disbelief in its efficacy is literal? ly impassible. The credentials of this unequal ! led tonic and alterative, extending over a period j of nearly twenty years, include Individuals of ?avery class, and residents of every clime, end j refer to the most prevalent among the complaints j which afflict and harass th? haman family. !

A dressing which ia at onoe agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving tb? hair. Faded or gray hair it noon restored to itt original color, leith the abu and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick? ened, falling bair checked, and bald cess often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi? ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous, sad injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not hann ii. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and vet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
