H. B. MASSER, E. WILVERT. ""or. .SUNBURY, FEBRUARY 13, 1874. Temtekaxck Crusade in the West. A most extraordinary temperance cam piin is Wins carried ou in Ohio, which is rapidly caiuins iu intensity and force. The womeu arc the main movers lr. it. Tht ir manner of proceeding is this "They organize pray'iug companies, a.j go i0 the places where liquor is sold. ari(i if tbey are given room inside they '.aauguratc a prayer meeting and coutir;uc jt until the proprie tor of the plac, 6igtl8 a pledge to stop his business. tjlCy are uot permitted to cuter, t-jey avc a temporary proteciiou crecrj ou the outside, as near the door as , "practicable, where they carry on their re ligious services aud keep vigilant watch on those passing in and out of the place. At intervals, one praying company is relieved by another, so that there is no intermission until u surrender of the party beiug prayed for is obtaioed. So great interest is felt in the movemeut in some places, that at cer tain hours or the day all business is sus pended aud general prayer is engaged in." The success of these aideut apostles of the new dispensation so far has been unex ampled. Some such movement was be gun iu the State of New York some fifteen years ago aud was reasonably successful. But no such widespread aud fervent re vival of religiou and temperance as this lias becu witnessed of late in any part of the United States. The cause commands the sympathy of vast multitudes ; if the effects of the crusade are permaneut, it may well take its place among the notable reforms of modern times. Oub neighbor of the Democrat could not have pleased us better than he did in ac cusing us of beiug conuccted with a "wee little Court House Ring." Although we -pm not aware of it before, that such a Kin" existed, wo feci highly honored. If there is such a thing as a Ring now we are happy to observe, tliat it is uot following .the course of Eichbollz's Zuroe Democratic Ring that kept robbing the tax-payers from year to year, and that they keep everything in Buch good order and condition as to make the coutra6t noticeable. So long as the offices in the county are conducted as now, we shall certainly feel proud of be longing to that nice Ring, aud believe too that if the good management is continued by the Republican officers, that we shall uot hear any complaints from the tax payers in the county. In its financial columns, the Philadel phia Leljer presents an encouraging view of currency and business. There seems to be, it says, a sort of general understanding that while there shall be uo further direct inflation of the currency, the Secretary of the Treasury shall be permitted to issue the forty-four millions retired greenbacks. This meaus, in the mind of every man in telligent on the subject, permissiou to in flate just four times forty-four millions of dollars or, perhaps, the expansion of bank credit four times that amount. What has beeu done in this way is already being felt on the various industries of the couu- try. This action of the Treasury in the free disbursement of retired legal tender notes, aided by the "letting loose the last month of seventy-five millions of dollars in the shape of dividends and interest pay ments, has given to business of all kinds a marked impetus, as is told in almost all i 'i iocs. Tbc present situation is underlaid with much of buoyancy, which may last for weeks to come. Rosentine and Moody, the murderers of Mr. lkhm, have both made coufessious. They acknowledge their prescuce at the murder, but each accuses the other of hav ing committed the act. They both say that Mr. Boh in was killed by beiug struck on the head by a portion of a flail, but Moody says that Routine struck the blows, aud vtce versa. In Moody's con fession, lie says that he was instigated to the murder by another colored man named Preston, who told him that he had mur dered a man for his money, some time ago, near the Harrisburg deitot. and had se creted the body so well us to have never been found out. They appear to be a bad set, and the gallows will get its due wheu they swing. The Hon. J. B. Packer, (of this Congres sional District,) from the Post Office Com mil tee, reported on Tuesday last a bill amendatory to the Geueral Post Office law, prescribing an oath of oflne to be taken by Kstmaslers, which passed the House of Representatives. We published last week an account of the robbery of the Conneautville bank, as was stated by four masked ruffians, who gagged and bound tbc cashier, Mr. D. D. A i'liamt, and then pocketed and carried off the spoils. Since then the cashier has been arrested by United States detective, Benson, on suspicion of being himself the roblx r, and taken to Erie for a hearing. The Postmaster General's proposed, measures with reference to his department, don't seem to tueei with general favor. He now wishes to compel newspaper publish ers to prepay the postage on all their paers in other words, aid the Iepartmcnt in collecting its postages. If Mr. Cresswell cannot run his department, the shortest method will be to resign, and let some one have it who can. The following passage from the New Constitutional article on suffrage, may be jtrofitably kept for general information and reference : "No penwm shall be qualified to serve ns an election officer, who shall hold, or shall within tiro vumtlm have he-Id any oflico, appointment or emjihtynuni, hi or under the Goverment of the United States, or of this State, or of any city, or county, or of any municipal board, commission or trust in any city, save only Justices of the 1'eare atkl Ahkrrnen, Xotaries Public aud croons in the militia service of the State." When Notes Must de Taid Wiies the Holiday Falls on Sunday. Business men and others iutcrestcd in com mercial paper, in view of the fact that the 22d of February this year falls upon Sun day, should remember that the act of April 2, 1873, defining what days shall constitute lecal holidays, prescribes as follows : "Whenever the first day of January, Twenty-second day of Febuary, the fourth day of July or the twenty-fifth day of De cember, shall, either of them, occur on Sun day, the following day, Monday, shall be deemed and declared a public holiday, and all bills of exchange, bank checks, drafts or promissory notes falling due on either of the Mondays, so observed as a holiday, 6hall be due and payable on the' Saturday proceeding such holidays : and such Mon days, so observed, shall for all purpose whatever as regards the presenting for pay ment f r acceptance and of the protesting giving notice of the dishonor of bills of ex change, bank checks, drafts and promissory notes made after the passage of this act, be treated and considered as is the first day of the week commonly called Sunday." The following is the judicial apportion lion men t reported by the committee in the Legislature at Harrisburg. "We notice that there is a desire to attach Juniata to Northumberland, but as we have more than the population required by the new Constitution, we hope it will be stricken oft" when the bill comes up for final action : 1st Dishict, Philadelphia, one additional Judge. 2d District, Lancaster county. 3d District, Delaware county. 4th District, Chester county. 5lh District, York and Adams, one ad ditional Judge. Cth District, Cumberland and Perry. 7th District, Franklin and Fulton. Sth District, Bedford aud Somerset. 9th District, Huntingdon Blair and Cambria. 10th District, Indiana. 11th District, Luzerne, one additional Judge. 12th District, Dauphin and Lebanon, one additional Judge. 13th District, Berks. 14th District, Fayette. loth District, Schuylkill. lGth District, Bucks. 17th District, Montgomery. IStli District, Ixdiigh. 19th District, Northampton. 20th District, Susquehanna. 21st District, Wayufr, Piko, Monroe and Carbon. 22d District, Bradford. 23d District, Columbia, Sullivan and Wyoming. 24th District, Northumberland aud Juniata. 2oth District, Union, Snyder, Mifflin and Montour. 2Cth District, Clearfield, Centre and Clinton, one additional Judge. 27th District, Lycoming. 5:Sth District, Tioga, Potter, M'Kean and Cameron. 21th District, Erie and Warren. 30th District, Crawford. 31st District, Venango and Forrest. 32d District, Jefferson, Ciarion aud Elk. 33d District, Armstrong. 34th District, Butler aud Lawrence, one additional Judge. 33th District, Mercer. 30th District, Beaver. 37th District, Greene. 3Sth District, Washington. 39th District, Allegheny. 40th District, Westmoreland. This apportionment will make fifteen more Judges than at present exist. The Governor is authorized to appoint these additional Judges, and until he does so the present Judges will hold their posi tions. The Contested Election Case. The electiou contest between Messrs. Lbvett and Ammerman was suddenly ended on Thursday last, by the action of the Legislature, as will be seen by the fol lowing proceedings in the House : Mr. Wolf, from the Committee on Con tested Elections, haviug under considera tion the contested seat of Jesse C. Ammer man, offered the following report : llcwh-ed. That the Committee on Ju diciary General, to which was referred the matter of the contested election case of Jesse C. Ammerman, the sitting member from Montour county, recommend that a committee be chosen and the investigation conducted as provided by the act of 1839, but the determination of the committee, instead of being conclusive, shall be re ported, together with all the evidence, to the House, and their report shall be sub ject to the approval or disapproval of the House. Mr. Orvis presented the minority report of the same committee, which was read at length. Mr. Wolfe moved that the report of the committee be adopted. Mr. Josephs moved as an amendment that both reports of the committee be laid on the table. Agreed to yeas 80, nays 3. The Siamese Twins. The Philadel phia Eveniny Star of Monday says that the autopsy on the bodies of the twius will take place to-day (Tuesday), at the College of Physicians, and will be strictly private ; that the facts developed will not be pro mulgated, except through Dr. Pancoast, who will make an official report to the so ciety first. The Mar also says: "Dr. Wm. II. Pancoust will wield the knife and be assisted by Drs. Allen and Andrews. The autopsy will probably occupy several days, as it has been determined to make it complete, and notes aud photographs will be taken every few minutes. Dr. Pan const, on Saturday, said that he and his associates did not pay a cent for the bodies, but they gave bonds in $100,000 that the bodies should be returned whenever the family desired them. It is said that some of the male members of the family arc iu favor of exhibiting the bodies throughout the couutry, but the women oppose it." The Gueat Coal Land Suits at Wilkeshakue. Wilkeshahre, Feb. C. The first of the five ejectment cases of Derringer against Cox ended to-day. . At nine A. M. Judge Linn commenced his ad dress to the jury for the plaintiffs. He was followed by McCliutock and Frauk B. Gotveu for the defendant, and ex-Chief Justice Woodward closed for the plaintiffs. Judge Harding then delivered an able charge to the jury, and they retired at six r. M. At half-past seven r. M. they came in with a verdict for plaintiff for the land described in tho writ. This tract is iu Sugar Loaf township, aud comprises 37t acres, and is worth a thousand dollars jxt acre. Four more cases, each of equal if not greater importance, remain to be tried, but they have Iteen postponed for the present. The SL Louis (Hole puts in a good word for the politicians. It says: "Thaddeus Stevens did more, as a politician, in a single year to destroy slavery than Sumner has done in a lifetime, with all his great speeches. The shrewd politician can be detected side by fide with the wise and good President in every act of Lincoln's life. There is a Lutheran pastoral district near Allentown, Pa., consisting of two congre gations, which has hod but two pastors in S3 years. The Rev. Conrad Yeager served them 40 years, and his son, the Rev. Joshua Yeager, 43 years. The latter is 72 years old, preaches twice every Lord's day, nod jierforms other pastoral duties during the week. The Agriculture Department at Wash ington, now forwards seeds, cuttings and bulbs only where there is a plausible as surance that they will be carefully culti vated and some report made of the result. The IepartmcBt "distributes more freely by express wheu the expense is paid by the receiver." The I-ock Haven JtrjiuhUcan says : "An elopement and forgery case from up the river is making a little business for our constables, who arc still on the scent The woman, who left a family of children at home, is described as old, fat and ugly of feature. We know nothing of the man, further than that he has displayed ft shock ingly bad taste, as well as great moral depravity." The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, on Monday, at Philadelphia was quite an excitable affair. For several years past the annual meeting of the Philadelphia and Erio railroad company havo witnessed stronger and stronger expressions of dis approval on the part of stockholders be cause the road, alone in this respect among the great corporations, pays no dividends. At the annual meeting on Monday, decisive means were taken for receiving a thorough knowledge of the manner in which the com pany's aflairs are conducted, and also for discovering where the leak, if one exists, really i6. The report presented by the management shows a gross increase of S3 812,907 20, a gross outlay of $3,413,310 84, leaving for profit the sum of 428,750 30, and this is $139,085 07 less than was earn ed during the previous year. The passen ger traffic has also fallen off 02,520, a loss which it seems has not been made good by the carriage of 135,078 tons of freight more than was handled last year. The report accounts for the bad stale of things by re ferring to the financial panic of September ; the increased cost of coal consequent upon the strike among the miuers ; the neces sary renewal of water pipes at a number of water station ; the rebuilding of 109 cars ; amounts paid for loss and damage in the assessment of claims, "some of which be long to former years, but have been in pro cess of adjustment ;" the opening of addi tional telegraph offices, aud an advance in the wages of freight brakesmen. Reference is also made to the fact that while the aver age cost of transporting freight upon the Philadelphia and Erie has been very nearly the same as that upou the Pennsylvania aud several leading roads, the average rate received has been much less, a condition of affairs which is cxplaiued by the state ment that, first, the Philadelphia aud Erie is cut by competing lines at Erie, and at four intermediate points between there and its eastern terminus at Sunbury ; and, sec ond, the bulk of the freight transported is of the lowest classification. The report in stances the several improvtnents made to the road during the past year, and con cludes by expressing a hope that there is a better time coming. When the reading was finished George Earle moved that the report shculd be printed on or before Feb. 18, aud copies placed iu the hands of each stockholder on that day, and that the meeting should ad journ without further action until Feb. 24. The ground on which this motion was of fered was avowedly to discover what the fault was, aud whether it wa in the con duct of the road ; an end which could not be attained until a preliminary aud careful study of the report should have been made. The motion brought not Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Simpson, directors of the road, in oppo sition, aud Mr. Earle was supported by Mcssis. D'luvilliers, Howard, Frecman.aud others. These dissatisfied stockholders al lege that while the business of the road has largely increased, the receipts, grow less aud less every year, and no dividend has been declared since the road has beeu leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Philadelphia has 3,000,000 worth of stock, and was represented by Mayor Stokley, who presided, and three directors. A heated debate then sprung up, in which 'unloading stock." "levyiug blackmail," "scouudrelly directors," "gagging stock holders," and similar expressions, were freely exchanged, and a threat made by Mr. Simpsou that he would make Henry G. Freeman, jr., answer for words spoken was promptly met by the passing of the latter's card to the former. During all this liins the Mayor kept his teniiier, and finally refused to appoint the Committee of investigation which was or dered. Mr. Earle, the most promiuent stockholder, offered resolutions having for their object investigation into specific acts of supposed misfeasance on the part of the lesscs, among them the purchase of Oil Creek aud Alleghany stock and the con tracts with fast freight lines. The old Board of Directors was re-elcted, notwith stauding the opposition ticket iu the field. As this was the first election under the new constitution, which permits cumula tive voting iu corporations, an effort was made to put the system in practice, but the counsel of the Company having given his opinion that existing charters were not subject to this provisiou, the opposition directors were counted out. II. B. Harrison, of New Haven, received the nomination for Governor of Connecti cut on Wednesday last, by the Republican State Convention. So far about $1,500,000 of the new trade dollar have been coined, and the demand is continually on the increase. The Senate passed the Baukrupl bill on Tuesday, aud it now goes back to the House for the concurrence of that body. The new Opera House at Bethlehem, Pa., was burued ou Tuesday. Loss, $50,000. The jury in the case of Jude J. W. Wright, on trial at Washington for forging Iudiau bounty receipts, rendered a verdict of not guilty on Tuesday. The House Committee ou Banking and Currency heard statements Monday re garding the financial situation. One of the members says the views of financiers are so various that their arguments are calculated to confuse rather than initruct the committee. It is rumored that the officers of the Pennsylvania Raihoad Company intend to reduce the pay of all its employees who re ceive over 81' H) per month in wages. Some of the engineers say this is a direct thrust at them. A nitro-gljcerinc factory atTiconderoga, N. Y., which has been closed for several weeks, was again put iu operation ou Mon day. In the afternoon the factory blew up, killing two men, named McMahon and Kcefe, fragmeuts of whose bodies were found in the woods around. They had been making repairs, aud are supposed to have disturbed some concealed nitro glycerine. A man was found dead on the railroad near Pottsville, on Wednesday morning. It is thought he was frozen to death. Here is a specimen of English as spoken iu the coal region. It is a notice lately posted iu a Tioga county miue, and bear ing a genuine signature : "My wife lef my house shaut ax me i make notice on ency body of one man trus him ou my name das lo8 for you." It is now generally admitted by honest physicians, that when once the consump tion is fairly fastened upon the lungs, no human ower can save the patient from death. They also say that about fifty per cent, of those who die from this disease can trace the cause to a neglected cough or cold, which might have been cured by a small bottle of Liquid Opodeldoc, or what is the email thing Johnson's Anodyne Liniment.

THE "BEAUTIFUL" SNOWS SHOE-KETTLE DRUMS COMMERCE RATS. New York, February 10, 1874. Snow in a country is one of the most pleas ant incidents of life. From the farmer who has logs and wood, to get out to a school boy who has long-waited for an opportun ity to get out his sled, it is a good thing. But snow iu New York is an unmitigated curse a curse without a redeeming fea ture or a mitigating circumstance. I write feelingly, for New York is suffering from snow at this time. Last week a very heavy snow fell as it did all over the country. Here it was, and is, frightful. The moment the suow was an inch deep the trouble com menced. The street car companies were compelled to double teams, which, as they have just enough horses for their cars, re duced the number of cars just a half, at the very time when the cars should be doubled. Hundreds of thousands of poor people live, of necessity, three or four miles from their places of labor. The withdrawal of half the cars compelled fully the half of them to walk to their wretched homes. Imagine a poor, weak, half-clad woman or girl walk ing through six inches of suow iu a blinding storm four miles, after twelve hours of ex haustive labor I This is what the poor of New Yoik were compelled to do this week. As a matter of course the terrific storm filled the station houses with the shivering poor, who, but for these refugees, would have perished in the streets. Many touch ing incidents are related. Last evening a laborer, with his wife and children, entered the Mulberry Street station and asked Cap tain Clinchy for shelter. The kind officer put them in a warm cell, when the woman asked him to be allowed to go out and get food for the children. Seeing how weak she was, Capt. Clinchy told her to give him the money aud he would send. The woman handed Capt. Clinchy four cents. "What sort of a supper do you intend to get wi.h this?" "Bread, sir 1" "Well, you won't get enough for yourself for four cents." "That's so, but I and my husband can do without." Handing her the four cents Capt. Clinchy went to a baker's and return ed with three loaves, some ham aud fish, and a subscription was raised among the men, all of whom gave their mite to assist the poor family. That night, at the Acad emy of Music, there was an Opera seats, $4 crowded with people clad in silks, satins, velvets aud furs, aud tho air redo lent with perfumes. Iu the gorgeous man sions up town society was holding high carnival, each vieiun with the other in recklessness of expenditure. What ex tremes 1 A family living on $100,000 a year another tryiug to make a supper or, four cents ! And all descended from Adam ! fashion changes. Fashion is fickle and its slaves obedient If Fashion decrees bonnets ten feet high, ten feet high would be worn, aud should fashion decree bonnets as flat as a pie dish, these would be worn. For several yeais the fashion iu shoes has been absolutely cruel. The shoe was made as narrow as the foot the sole much narrower than the up per, and the heel Heavens I two inches was common aud three uot uncommon, aud it was set almost iu the ceu'.re of the foot. Walking could only be accomplished with pain ; with such shoes and corns, and buuions were multiplied fearfully. But fashion has blundered into a good tiling for once. The new shoe, which every fashion able woman in New York must wear, is square-toed ; tho soles project beyond the uppers and the heel is not ouly broad but is of a proper length, and set where a heel ought to be set. This is a shoe that a wo man can walk in and enjoy it. How eager ly the little dears must have looked for the coming home of the first pair of the new style 1 With what a feeling of relief they must have flung into the street the high heeled, narrow-soled tortures that they had endured so long ! How like little lambs they must have leaped and frisked in their new freedom ! This act of emancipation will bring well nigh as much happiness to the world as that of Lincoln. The chirop dists (as the corn-doctors style themselves) will mourn, but there will be rejoicing in the feminine world. THE KETTLE DRUM Is the last folly of this most foolish city. Do you waut to know what a kettle drum is ? Well, a lady invites her friends to her house from four to six P. M. Tea is made by the hostess in the parlor and each lady takes a cup thereof to the gentleman whom he prefers. If he Bays "Sugar, please," she remains with him it" not she leaves him. Now it will always happen that some one gentleman will have no tea offered him. The hostess provides a kettle drum in a corner of the parlor, and this luckless weight must go to that drum and beat it, not loud ly, throughout the eutertainmeut, or until a later unfortunate relieves him. The rub-a-dub of the drum makes just euough noise to enable the couples properly mated to in dulge in all the soft talk they desire without being overheard, and the luckless drummer makes an excellent butt for all the small wits present The tea is taken through straws, as male driukers in saloons take cobblers and juleps. By the way, Russian tea is the variety offered at these entertain ments. Russian tea is the ordinary tea, with a slice of lemon added to each cup. How long this absurd thing will last no one knows, but it is all the rage now. Fiivolous New Yoik has to hove some thing new which is not profound enough to require thought, all the time. The spec tacle of a full-grown man beating a kettle drum for two hours is one of exceptional sublimity. THE COMMERC E OF NEW YORK. The merchants of New Y'ork are in sore trouble. The fact is, the exporting of grain from this city is growing small by degrees and beautifully less. Montreal is taking it one side, and Baltimore aud Philadelphia on the other. For instance the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Pennsylvania Central have both reached out to Toledo, the second grain market of the country the latter having built a branch to that city and a large proportion of the enormous quantity of grain gathered at Toledo has got into a habit of sendiug another moiety of her grain to Montreal, for the Montreal ers deal liberally and fairly with the for warders. A vessel loaded with grain from Toledo, say, goes direct to Montreal, where it is unloaded into English vessels, with no charge except for handling, and that charge being reasonable. Now New York has no facilities, aud no system. Grain has to be handled in trucks and loaded by all sorts of primitive ap pliances, and besides, there are charges piled upon charges from the time it strikes Buffalo till it gets upon ship-board. In Buffalo it has to be taken from vessels into elevators, and charges are loaded on it for Jclevating, insurance, and re-loading into canal-boats. Then comes the tolls on the canal, and then in New York the charges for unloading, insurance, carting, handling and reloading. It is easy to see why grain avoids thjs route aa much as possible. The Cheap Transportation Association of Now York are trying to better this con dition of things. Their Committee on Terminal Facilities recommend the con struction of warehouses of large capacity along the water front to which freight may be taken by a double-track railway, and from which it may be shipped without cart age. Several plans for effecting this are discussed. It is claimed by the committe that lime, expense, and loss by weather and theft will thus be saved. The establish ment of grain elevators on the river fronts of New York aud Jersey City is also urged, and of large warehouses for storing and buying and selling cotton. This is well enough, as far as it goes, but it is not enough to hold the trade for New York. The Erie Canal ought to be enlarged so as to admit boats of twice the present capacity and it should be kept free to all, without tolls. Then grain should be loaded from the lake to the boats, without paying tri bute to Buffalo. This, with the improve ments mentioned above, will restore the trade to New Y'ork and nothing else will. RATS. A society has been organized in the city for what ? Why to promote the consump tion of rats as food 1 One enthusiast avers that as compared with rats, squirrels, rab bits and chickens aro diminutive tubers. The Parisians ate them during the seige, and rat was pronounced good eating. People could live cheaply in New York if they could only come to liking rodents. Pietro. Sl'MlTOXS OF LIVER COM PLAINT.

A CURE OF LIVER DISEASE. Rusy, Texas, May 10th, 1873. Dr. R. V. Pierce : Dear Sir My wife last year at this time was confined to her bed with Chronic Liver Disease. I had one of the best doctors to see her, and he gave her up to die, when I came upon some of your medicine. I bought one bottle and commenced giving it. She then weighed 82 lbs. ; now she weighs 140 lbs. aud is robust and hearty. She has taken eight bottles in all, so you Dee I am an advocate for your Medicines. WM. MEAZEL. I AIN - KILLER! FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS Perrjr Davis' Vegetable Paln-Killer HAS BEES TESTED IN EVERY VARIETY OF CLIMATE, AND BY ALMOST EVERY NATION KNOWN TO AMERICANS. It is the constant companion and esti mable friend of the missionary and the traveler, on Sea and land, and no one should travel on our Lakes or Rivers without it. It has been before the public over thirty years, and probably has a widow and bet ter reputation than any other proprietary medicine ol the present day. At this pe riod there are but few unacquainted with the merits of the Pain-Killer : but while extol it as a liniment, they know but little of its power in easing pain wheu taken in ternally, while others use it internally with great success, but are equally ignorant of its healing virtues wheu applied externally. We therefore wish to say to all that it is equally successful whether used internally or externally, aud it stands to-day, unri valled by all the great catalogue of family medicines. It is sufficient evidence of its virtues as a standard medicine, to know that it is now used in all parts of the world and that its sale is constantly increasing. No curative agent has had such wide spread saleoriven such universal satisfaction. It is a purely vegetable compound, and pefectly safe in unskillful hands. After thirty years, trial, is still receiving the most unqualified testimonials to its virtues, from persons of the highest charac ter responsibility. Physicians of the first respectability, recommend it aa a most effectual preparation for the extinction of pain, It is not only the best remedy ever known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &c, but for Dysentery or Cholera or any sort of bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsurpass ed for efficiency aud rapidity of action. In the great cities of India, and other hot cli mates, it has become the Standard Medi cine for all such complants, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, aud other kindred disorders. For Coughs aud Colds, Canker, Asthma, and Rheumatic difficul ties, it hits been proved by the most abund dant and convincing testimony to be an in valuable medicine. BEWARE OF ALL IMITATION. The Pain-Killer is sold by all respecta ble druggists throughout the United States and foreign countries. Prices 25 cents, 50 cents aud SI per bottle.
