Mr. Samuel Hell, of W. E. Schmertz it
Co, Wholesale Hoot and Shoe Manufactur
ers, ai Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, l'a., has
been ulllictcd with chronic rlunimuti..li for
Unity years, from his right hip to his foot,
having to use a crutch and a cane, at times
so painful as to utterly incupacitate him
from attending to his 'business. Having
tried every remedy known, without ell'ect,
except Oilliland's Pain Killer, he was
linaliy induced to try it. A second applica
tion enabled him to lay aside bis crutch,
and a third elici ted a permanent cure. Mr.
Dull is a popular and well-known citizen,
is a living monument of the clfanicy of
that great uicilieul discovery, Oilliland's
Pain Killer. The atllictcd should ask their
grocer or druggist for it, anil try its won
derful power. Mr. tiillilund, we under
stand, wants a respectable agent in every
town and county for it. The principitl f
tice is at 7- Third Avenue, Piiulmrgli l'a.
