AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. PREFACE. Records of travelers, unfortunately, are too often highly imaginative, and they are, in consequence, generally received with caution by a public whose credulity has been severely taxed in the past. We consequently approach with hesitation the relation of a pro- gress around the world unsurpassed for expedition, even in this age of rapid transit, fearful that it may be regarded as a fanciful, or, at least, an exaggerated account. Satisfied, however, that our truthfulness will be substantiated by the events of the journey, we proceed with our narration, confident that we shall be absolved in the end, even from the suspicion of misrepresentation. We propose, in a journey round the world extending over forty years, to secure results which, in the ordinary course of aff irs, would require centuries to accomplish. In that journey, the continents of the old and new worlds, and the islands of the sea, will be traversed. We shall admin- ister to the wants of the Mongolian and the Ethiopian on their native soils, and where the Ganges rolls onward to the sea, and the mighty Amazon is lost in the ocean, we shall be found carrying with us an infalli- ble remedy for the painful ills to which all flesh is heir. The Author. AROUND THE WORLD — IN — FORTY YEARS. It was about forty years ago when Perry Davis, of Providence, R. I., first introduced to the world his now universally known Pain-Killer. Mr. Davis was at that time a poor man, without influence, a cripple and an invalid. He studied the effect of certain drugs upon the human system, and experimented in their uses until he had compounded a medicine capable of curing his own maladies. “The Discovery.” Note.—At the time of the discovery of the Pain-Killer, he was confined at home by illness, and com- pletely discouraged from using medicines that did not cure. He had long suffered from a combination of disorders which had followed a severe cold he had taken, among which were pains in the side and back, 6 AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. When restored to health he offered the preparation to his fellow-sufferers, first in his own native town, and afterwards to all those of his native State and of the world. Pain-Killer, the name he gave this potent medicine, started on its voyage around the world, when Mr. Davis, with a basket on his arm, traveled from Providence to Boston, carrying with him the first lot of Pain-Killer ever taken to that city. “ He traveled from Providence to Boston.” He called on several of the leading druggists in Boston, and after show- ing them his great discovery, desired them to purchase a portion of his stock; they, however, only shrugged their shoulders and informed him that they could not sell it without the assistance of advertising, and that they made mixtures for annihilating pain equally as good themselves. indigestion, loss of appetite, kidney disease and piles, anyone of which was enough of itself to cripple him. In writing of the discovery of the Pain-Killer, Mr. Perry Davis said: “ I searched the Globe in my imagi- “ nation with eager anxiety, and selected the choicest gums and plants that I thought the world afforded, “and directed, as I believe, by the hand of Providence, in compounding and proportioning the medicine “so that the narcoUc influence of one might be destroyed by the other, in order that when the stimulating “ influence was over, it became a nervine to soothe and a balm to heal. “ I commenced using my newly-discovered medicine with no other hope than gently handing me to the “grave. I used it freely internally, and externally on my side and stomach, which soon relieved the pain. “ My cankered mouth began to heal; I soon began to raise the pulp from my stomach easily, and my night- " sweats soon ceased, and I found my kidney complaints beginning to give way. The piles were soon “ cured; my appetite soon returned, and my sleep became refreshing, and my flesh began to increase, and “ X to feel like living instead of dying.” AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. 7 He traveled the city over with but little success, and at last discouraged, he went among the crowd upon the street and around the market place, and to each poor, sick or lame person he met, he handed a bottle of Pain- Killer, directing him how to use it. In this manner he disposed of the first lot of Pain-Killer ever consigned to Boston, without one cent in return. Discouraged and tired he returned home poorer than ever, for even his expenses to Boston and return were to him at that time a great item of consideration. His medicine at home, however, grew more popular every day, and his town customers increased as its virtues became known. Soon after this the cholera made its appear- ance in the United States, and Pain-Killer was suddenly brought into “ They made mixtures for annihilating pain equally as good themselves.” general notice by the astonishing cures of this dreadful disease which it effected; many of the severest cases were cured, and thousands of people proclaimed its virtues from East to West, and orders followed from New York, Bdston and other cities, where its fame had reached. Its merits alone had made it known, for advertising had not been resorted to with a view to building up a sale for this article, as has been done for its com- petitors in more modern times, when printer’s' ink makes up for lack of virtue or merit. 8 AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. Mr. Davis soon found his first method of manufacturing inadequate to supply the demand. He cast aside his pestle and mortar, and com- menced the manufacture of Pain-Killer upon a larger, though still a limited, scale. It was now found that each bottle given away in Boston, and elsewhere, had created a demand for many more; the sale increased from day to day, while everybody who used this wonderful compound was either writing or telling friends of its powers in relieving pain and suffering. It was soon after its discovery that Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer was intro- duced into a factory at Providence, and the employers there found it a cure for all those little ills and numberless hurts or accidents which factory hands are constantly subject to. “He commenced to manufacture upon a larger scale.” Enter the work-room of any extensive factory now and watch the regular succession of events.

To the factory hands it is a doctor always ready, who serves them not only cheaply but well. In the factories of Europe and of America, Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer has become, by long use and good service, a much honored friend, always on the front shelf among the most valued medicines.

About sixteen years ago I was at work with a graver (such as engravers use), whpn it slipped from the plate on which 1 was working, and entered my hand between the thumb and forefinger in the thick part.

This gave me such confidence in the Pain-Killer as a remedy that I have ever since kept it in my family, ready for use in any emergency.

The distracted father, in his extremity, thinks of Perry Davis’ Pain-Kilier; he bathes the child’s stomach with it and covers the abdomen completely with warm flannel, then mixing a few drops of the medicine in milk and sugar, he pours it down the sufferer’s throat, and, as the operation is repeated, the little fellow’s face begins to glow with internal heat, the limbs and body grow warm, and his life is saved. The farmer has always found Pain-Killer particularly useful, not only in his family but in rearing stock. For horses and cattle suffering with colic or other pains, it has been found a sovereign cure, and many valuable animals have been saved by its use. When young lambs have been exposed g.nd chilled near to death with cold and past all ordinary help, a little Pain-Killer poured down their throats will restore them to their feet and their natural activity. “ Many valuable animals have been saved by its use.” “ Messrs.

It reems now to be the well-established opinion of the best sea captains, that Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer is a necessity on board ship. Captain Goodell, of the ship Brown Brothers, knows how it is, and writes his opinion: “ Messrs.

The fame of Pain-Killer spread among the seamen till scarcely a vessel left an American port without having in its medicine chest a supply of this invaluable remedy, and it is oftener used than any other article in the chest. The merchant and the merchant’s clerk have also been the firm friends of Pain-Killer since it first became known, and while it has been the companion of the lone voyageur, the hunter and the trapper, it has also invaded the palatial residence of the rich, and alleviates the same aches “ Fishermen found it useful in healing their wounds.” and pains as are met in the habitations of the poor. The Pain-Killer is always within reach in all well-regulated city houses, and by its use a great deal of suffering and pain is saved. The fishermen, too, found it particularly useful in bathing the cuts made by the fins of fishes, or wounds inflicted by fish-hooks; also in throwing off the sudden attacks of cold to which they are subject, owing to their exposure to the severe weather encountered upon the coast. Lumbermen and raftsmen soon found that Pain-Killer was, of all other preparations, the best suited for their use, away from the abode of civih- AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. 13 zation. In the depths of our primeval forests, where they are obliged to be their own cooks, nurse and doctor, they are exposed to many hard- ships and privations, and suffer many ills for which the Pain-Killer is specially adapted; among these are frost-bites, chilblains, cuts, burns, bruises, severe colds and coughs, which Pain-Killer, when taken at the commencement of the attack, seldom if ever, fails to cure. With the raftsman, wet and shivering with the cold, taken while driving their logs over the rivers and guiding them over the rapids, a teaspoonful “ He never starts without it.” “Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— Augusta, Maine. “ Dear Sirs:—I am desirous of communicating to you my gratitude for the benefit I have received from the use of your Pain-Killer. I have been at times subject to bilious colic, and have suffered very severely. The Pain-Killer never fails to put me on my feet and effect a cure. I have found much benefit from it in diarrhoea and summer complaint, and have such confidence in it that I would not on any account be wil- ling to be without it. And I want further to say, that two years ago I was called to our lumbering camp, and took half a dozen bottles of Pain-Killer along with me. I happened to find immediate need for it. One of our men was attacked with a terrible sore throat, and we thought he would die. I gave him some Pain-Killer, which he applied both internally and externally. In an hour he was relieved, and on the next day he was at work as usual. Four men had previously died of attacks exactly similar to the one this man had. I have no doubt that this man would have died, if it had not been for the Pain- Killer. The lumbermen were so highly pleased with the result of the use of the Pain-Killer, that far and wide they proclaimed it the greatest medicine in the world. Since then our lumbering camp has never been without it, and the men have found it very useful in a great variety of cases. “Yours truly, Ira H. Randall.” Messrs. H. A. De Witt and J. H. Sturgis, both well known in the lumber business, unite in saying: “We personally know Mr. Ira H. Randall, and know that any statements he makes about Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer, are true and entitled to credit. We can also testify, from our own experience, to the in*rits of the Pain-Killer as a remedy in cases of colic, sprains, bruises and burns.” 14 AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. of Pain-Killer in milk or water, is sure to be his first resort. He never starts without it in his pocket. It will stimulate the system and enable it to throw off the cold and disease he is subject to, and which is the natural consequence of the wet feet which his business necessitates. The hunters and trappers, both in the West and the North, learned of Pain-Killer, and its many virtues, from the lumbermen, and they, too, bought supplies, and carried it far beyond the abode of men, up distant rivers and across unknown lakes; wherever they wandered, Pain-Killer became their constant companion and friend. From the trappers and lumbermen the Indians learned the value of Pain-Killer in stopping pains; everywhere among the Aborigines of North “ He will give his best furs and most valued skins.” Read the following extract from a letter of the Rev. E. R. Young, missionary, dated at Norway House, Red River District, 1873:— “ I had a wretched journey to that place. The second night, after I had covered up my head to try and sleep a little, my sweatings came on me again, and I was soon almost saturated. Then I was seized with diarrhoea, and, of course, was obliged to get up. The night was bitterly cold; our camp fire had gone out, and we were in the forest far from any habitation. I was very cold before I obtained any relief. I tried to get warm again by getting under my blankets, but they, having been wet by my previous sweat- ings, seemed as cold and stiff as sides of leather. I called my dogs close up to me, hoping that I might derive a little warmth from them, but found it impossible. I felt then that I knew how to sympathize with Jonah in his anguish, and, like him, “ I cried by reason of my affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me." 1 roused up my men, who quickly made a fire, before which I stood, as close as possible, with my chest exposed, naked, to its warmth. While I was receiving this outward burning heat, I drank about half a bottle full of Pain-Killer, mixed with a little water. The cramps left me, a beautiful warmth came back, and I was saved. The memory of that night haunts me, and I suppose will as long as I live. When we reached the fort, they told us that it was over forty degrees below zero that night" AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS America, Pain-Killer is well known. It is the poor Indian’s greatest com- fort ; he prizes it above gold, and will give his best furs and most valued skins for a bottle of the preparation, when he would not part with them for any other commodity. The Hudson Bay Company, whose extensive business reaches out through all the vast territory between Russian America and the coast of Labrador, is among the largest dealers in this article; they have sold it for many years from all their different posts, and they consider it one of the most invaluable discoveries of modern times. Hunters and trappers, like the Indian, lie down on the cold earth to sleep, and breathe the poisonous malaria which frequently fills the night air; but if before lying down he takes a spoonful of Pain-Killer in water, it will act as a shield in warding off disease. Families who live in the vicinity of swamps or low lands, and are subject to ma- larial fevers, have found a dose of Pain-Killer, once or'twice a week, sufficient to ward off attacks of disease. Travelers going from One section of country to another are liable to attacks of diar- rhoea and summer complaint, owing to changes of water and climate. A little Pain-Killer in sweetened water, if taken at the very commencement of the attack, will often save a great amount of pain and suf- fering. “JIf.ssrs. Perry Davis & Son. “ Dear Sirs:—I take pleasure in telling you how I have used your celebrated Pain-Killer f®r the benefit of horses. About a year ago my horse was taken suddenly sick, very sick indeed, with an attack of colic. I could not find a veterinary surgeon; but common sense led me to think that what was good for man might properly be used also for beast. I had tried Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer both on myself and on others in cases of colic, and I knew how well it worked its cure. So I got a bottle of the Pain-Killer and admin- istered to my horse by means of a champagne bottle, which is the surest way, as the long neck of the bot- tle takes the medicine well into the horse’s throat. The effect of this dose was marvelous, curing the horse so that inside of two or three hours we could safely leave him. I can heartily and cordially recom- mend this medicine for horses, and I think nobody who owns a horse ought to be without it. “Very truly yours, &c., P. H.

In the mines of the world, thousands of our fellow-beings toil on and spend the greater portion of their lives delving for precious stones, rare metals and valuable minerals. Their lives are full of danger, and accidents and disease are the miners special lot. He, early in its history, sought out Pain-Killer, and has since carried it into all parts of the earth, from the coal regions of England, Pennsylvania and Nova Scotia, to the rich gold mines of California and Nevada, and the diamond fields of South Africa and Brazil. Everywhere the miner has gone he has taken the Pain-Killer with him, and it has at length been christened “ The Miner’s Friend.” “ Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— “ It affords me much pleasure to give you some facts concerning the use of Periy Davis’ Pain-Killer. “ In my business journeys to the Southern and Western States I always carried a bottle of the Pain- Killer. I habitually used it in the water I drank, which entirely saved me the troubles which ordinarily arise from change of water. I also used it for pains in my limbs, invariably obtaining immediate relief. “ I cannot give this medicine too high praise for the good it has done me.

In colleges and schools, where the young assemble in numbers, Pain- Killer is indispensable ; the members of athletic clubs of Canada and the United States find it the best of all medicines for both internal and external use. When exhausted or fatigued, when hit by a flying ball or sprained by a fall, when cut and bleeding, Pain-Killer comes to their aid, and no “The Lacrosse Clubs of Canada use Pain-Killer.” Read what Geo. Wright, the Captain of the Champion League Base Ball Nine says:— His name will be recognized by all athletes as a guarantee of the honesty of his words, for all know that he stands at the head of his profession, not only as a player but as an upright gentleman:— Boston, March 24th, 1882. During the season of 1879, and while I had charge of the Providence Base Ball Club, I had many opportunities of testing the merits of the Pain-Killer, both as a liniment and a remedy for summer com- plaint. The men of the team were constantly bruising their hands and limbs, often most painfully, and they all found Pain-Killer a liniment sure to take out the soreness and prevent inflammation. The men who suffered from the bowel complaints prevalent during the hot months invariably resorted to Pain-Killer, and I never knew a case where it failed to put them on their feet and in good condition at short notice.

He had been subject to such troubles, and once, in London, was obliged to call a physician, who pronounced his case critical in the extreme, and remarked that if he had another attack he would probably not survive. When he had the next attack, the Pain-Killer which I applied brought him about in a few hours. His pains were excru- ciating, and his groans were dreadful to hear, and all on board supposed he would die, but I had implicit confidence in the Pain-Killer, as I had never known it to fail to cure in such cases. The result showed that my confidence was not in vain. On the same voyage off the Cape of Good Hope, I got wet during a westerly rain storm, and was so hoarse that I could not speak above a whisper.

In the voyage around the world, perhaps no other class of men have done so much to facilitate the progress of Pain-Killer as Christian Missionaries. They have carried it with them in all their travels until it might well be said, there is no spot on earth where it is not in use among the rich and the poor, the Christian and the heathen. “ It gives him an entree to the sick room of the heathen.” For the missionary, Pain-Killer is peculiarly well suited. It gives him an entree to the sick room of the heathen sufferer, and enables him by its wonderful cures to win to his noble cause the hearts of thankful patients. In the countries where cholera prevails, as in India, China and Africa, Pain-Killer is considered the surest and safest of all known remedies, and the natives place the most perfect reliance in it.

It was in the year 1866, that Messrs. Perry Davis & Son opened in London, England, a branch depot for the exclusive sale of their Pain-Killer in Great Britain. Since that date the sale has increased more than a thousand-fold, and Pain- Killer has become a household word in every part of the United King- dom, and the medicine is now widely known through- out Europe. Turkey in Europe as well as in Asia, has been a large customer for many years, and upon the coast of Africa it is as familiar to the eye of the trader in all the chief towns and trading stations, as upon the banks of the St. Lawrence or Mis- sissippi. In these far away coun- tries, merchandise is carried upon the backs of mules, elephants, camels, and other beasts of burden far inland, over mountains, passes, and The late Rev. Dr. Granger repeatedly expressed his belief that he owed his life to the timely use of Perry Davis Pain-Killer. Daring his recent visit to the Missions in Burmah he had a severe attack of the cholera, and was immediately relieved by the use of the Pain-Killer. Gentlemen : Allow me, as an eye witness of the great good which your excellent medicine, the Pain- Killer has done amongst the exiles of Madeira, to state, for the good of others, that it is now, and has been for five years, the great family medicine.

It is not uncommon to see a case of Pain-Killer strapped across the backs of one of these ships of the desert. The introduction of the Pain-Killer in Australia is a fair illustration of the great popularity and consequent success of this article wherever it has gone, and explains, in a measure, the way in which it has found its entrance into the various avenues of trade throughout the world. An old sea captain called at Melbourne in 1852, and had in his cargo a few cases of Pain-Killer which he had purchased before leaving New York, with a view of selling it at a profit in some of the ports of call between New York and China. On arriving at Melbourne, he had failed thus far to dispose of it, and resolved to carry it no farther but “In the depths of our primeval forest they suffer many ills.” leave it with a trader there, with instructions to get rid of it as best he might. The ship sailed away, and the trader scarcely knew what to do with the Pain-Killer, which appeared to be an elephant upon his hands. He tried in vain to find a purchaser, and at last stored it away out of sight until the toiler of the sea should return and carry away his property. Many months passed by but the captain did not return. The merchant, at length, in order to make a display of liberality and conciliate the members of a mining camp near by, sent them a box containing two dozen bottles of Pain-Killer. AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. 23 This present cost him nothing; the bottles of Pain-Killer were scattered among the miners at the time the gold excitement ran so high in that country, and it was all the advertising that was required. The men went to Melbourne in such crowds, demanding the medicine, that the wily agent improvised an auction, and sold the medicine to the highest bidders. Many of the bottles brought their weight in silver at this the first sale in Australia. That market has ever since then been one of the best in the world for its sale, and there is no time, probably, when there is not afloat, bound for Australia, large quantities of the Pain- Killer to meet the never-ceasing demand that exists for it. The news of its wonderful curative powers spread from camp to camp and ranch to ranch, until Australia and New Zealand have both adopted the Pain- Killer as their family medicine. “The wily agent improvised an auction.” In India, China and Japan, the Pain-Killer is one of the few Ameri- can manufactures seen by the traveler in his walk through the streets, standing prominently forth in nearly every shop window where medicines are sold. For these markets, the Pain-Killer is put up with directions printed in the native languages, and the preparation is advertised in their own newspapers. The government of Japan required all foreign medicines entering that country to be carefully analysed, and the prescription or formula sub- mitted to a board of prominent medical men, whose duty it is to con- 24 AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS demn any, and all, medicines containing deleterious or injurious ingredients. After making a most rigid examination, they found nothing harmful to the human body in the Pain-Killer, which is a purely vegetable prepara- tion, and allowed it to enter and be sold to the subjects of the great Mikado, without limitation or restraint. The reader who has followed us through this little book will have noticed the discouraging circumstances Mr. Davis labored under when he first offered his Pain-Killer to the world. They must be astonished at the rapidity with which it grew into popularity in all the avenues of trade and commerce, and when they come to consider that after over forty years of trial, during which it has been tested by ail races of men in all climates, it has become more popular with each returning year— they must conclude that this medicine, which Mr. Davis so honestly re- “After a most rigid examination they found nothing harmful to the human body.” The universality of the demand for Pain-Killer is a novel, interesting, and surprising feature in the history of this medicine. It is now regularly packed, sent and sold in large and steadily increasing quan- tities, not only to the several countries mentioned in this little book, but it has found its way into almost every foreign port that is frequented by American missionaries, travelers or traders in the known world. It is particularly desirable in locations where physicians are not near; and by keeping it at hand, families will often save the necessity of sending out at midnight for a doctor. TO THE AFFLICTED WITH AGUE AND CHILL FEVER. This will certify, that I was afflicted with ague and chill fever for several weeks. I was persuaded to try Perry Davis' Vegetable Pain-Killer. I took part of a bottle, and was perfectly cured. I have not had a chill since beginning with this medicine. My sister being afflicted, used the same remedy, and found almost immediate relief, and has felt none «f the ague symptoms since. Jesse Williams, Perrysburgh, Ohio. AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. 25 commended and believed in, is just what it is represented to be, a Killer of Pain. Had it been otherwise, Pain Killer would long since have been forgotten, as have been the myriad of imitations which have, owing to its great success, been launched upon the market under similar names calculated to deceive the ]^.iblic. These countless articles, devoid of merit, lived only for a little while, and died while yet in their infancy. They claimed virtues which they never possessed, and this having been speedily discovered, they were immediately discarded by a discerning public. The name selected by Mr. Davis to designate his medicine, Pain-Killer, has been carefully guarded throughout the forty years of its successful existence. During that period, the courts of many countries have con- firmed his right to the sole use of that name in designating his compound, and to exclude all persons from pirating or using it in any way. The genuine article, Pain-Killer, has been tested for years, and always found safe in the hands of the most inexperienced; while other and newer remedies, purporting to have the same wonderful properties, have not yet earned the confidence of the public. 28 AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. the horses became unmanageable. I took my place on the truck in company with Mr. Richardson, who jumped in time to save himself. As the horses wildly ran, I unfortunately got jammed between the truck and the brick door-frame. The result was that I was severely bruised, and that two of my ribs were broken. I was taken home in great agony, and was attended by physicians who did all they could for me. But the pain continued for fully three weeks. Then a friend brought me a bottle of Pain-Killer. I was bandaged and rubbed with it, and aPonce obtained relief. When this bottle was out, I got another. One of the firemen came every day and rubbed me with the Pain-Killer. The effect of this, and of my taking the medicine internally, was astonishing. My wounds and bruises were healed; my pain was gone, and I was well. I most heartily recommend the Pain-Killer, for the good it has done me is beyond my power fully to describe.” WHAT A SEA CAPTAIN KNOWS. The science of navigation includes, among many other things, a knowledge of how to keep the men on board ship in good health and in the highest condition of fitness for regular duty. A good captain learns this by experience, and knows it far better than if taught merely by books. Very valuable indeed is the experience of Captain Penning- ton, who has long been in the service of the New York and Charleston Steamship Company, and whose home is at 73 Third street, South Brooklyn, N. Y. The Captain has used Perry Davis’ Pain Killer at sea and on land, and in both fair weather and foul, having been wrecked off Cape Hatteras in a burning steamer and severely burned about his neck and arms. Captain Pennington says : “ Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— “Gentlemen:—Having used the Pain-Killer, and witnessed its really beneficial effects in cramps, cholera-morbus, dysentery, etc., I cheerfully commend it as an efficient and valuable medicine which all travelers should have a supply of, and which ought to be kept regularly in every ship's medicine chest When giy ship was burned, off Cape Hatteras, my hands, face, arms and neck were badly blistered and scorched, the skin in some places being charred. I do not know what I should have done without the Pain-Killer, which I found a most efficient and thorough remedy for my burns and wounds. “ Very respectfully yours, “ L. W. Pennington. Captain Ashcroft, formerly master of the ship “ Salvor,” briefly and sententiously writes at the foot of Captain Pennington’s letter: “ I heartily chip in on the above sentiments.” KICKED BY A HORSE. To receive a kick from a horse is at best an unpleasant surprise, but to find some- thing which will remedy the mischief caused by the kick is one of the happiest surprises the sufferer can enjoy. Mr. Aaron Bowdoin, superintendent of the dye-house of the Bates mill, Lewiston, Maine, is a man who has passed through this experience, and has seen the benefit of Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer not only in such cases, but in other emergencies. There are many who will find it to their advantage to read Mr. Bow- doin’s letter : “Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— “Lewiston, Maine. “Gentlemen:—You may make use of my experience for the benefit of everybody. About ten years ago I received a severe kick from my horse. The blow was in my side and against the nbs, and rendered me unconscious far a while. On rising to my feet I felt the bones crack and a severe soreness fouowed. I had used your Pain-Killer before, and it had done me so much good that I thought I would try it, so I immediately applied the Pain-Killer to the wound and took the usual dose inwardly. I was at once re- lieved, and after using the Pain-Killer in this manner for a few days, I was entirely well. . “ I am now suffering from a severe attack of inflammation of the bladder, and I do say that the Pain- Killer has afforded me more comfort and relief than any medicine I have ever used. “ My daughter was not long ago attacked with neuralgia, which she had never had It came on very suddenly, and was so severe that she could scarcely walk. My wife went for some Pain-Killer, and applied it with wonderful results. The next morning my daughter was as well as ever, and she said she AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. 29 wanted everybody to know that the Pain-Killer had cured her. I have used the Pain-Killer in my family for a long time for the more simple diseases, such as cramps, dysentery and sick headache, which it always reaches very speedily and surely. Every now and then I find friends who know nothing about Pam-Killer. I always tell them what a good medicine it is. I want everybody to know about this great remedy. “Aaron Bowdoin." Mr. J. W. Brown, superintendent of the Bates mills and several other well-known gentlemen of Lewiston, vouch for the truth of all that Mr. Bowdoin says about the Pain-Killer. WHAT IT DID IN THE ARMY- Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer did a good work in helping to fight the battles of the nation. The instances in which it afforded relief to our soldiers would fill a volume. Many men on leaving the army continued to make use, for themselves and their families, of the remedy which they had found so useful on the field of battle. It has been thus with Lieut. George W. Bemis, who is now a prominent merchant in Oneida, N. Y. He writes: “31 Madison street, Oneida, N. Y. “Gentlemen:—Although I presume you have an abundance of testimonials of the virtues of Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer, I take the liberty of adding one more. I have for many years known it as a valuable remedy, and while I was in the army, prized it so highly, that I always carried a bottle of it with me. “ The quarter-master of my regiment was taken down with dysentery, and the surgeons not only failed to help him, but in their hands he sank so low that they gave him up. I then ventured to dose him with Pain-Killer. The result was that in a few days he was on his feet. Ever afterwards he swore that I had saved his life. Having seen the value of it in those trying times, I have never since been without it, be- lieving, as I do, that it has not its equal as an efficient remedy. Yours, etc., “ Geo. W. Bemis, 1st Lieut. 4th N. Y. Art.” LONG ACQUAINTANCE AND LARGE EXPERIENCE. Perry Davis' Pain-Killer is no novelty. It was first introduced in a humble way by Mr. Davis himself, who having originated it, and became well convinced what a boon it would be to suffering humanity, personally sold thousands of bottles of it through the New England states. In the course of this early introduction he met with many singular experiences and formed many valuable acquaintances, some of whom became life-long friends. Among these was Aaron Ackerman, Esq., who is now the President of the Portsmouth Gas Company. Mr. Ackerman’s experience is peculiarly interesting. He writes: “ Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— _ “ Portsmouth, N. H. “ Gentlemen:—Over thirty-five years ago I was on a visit to a brother in Providence, who was a book- binder. He had a large lot of books to bind for Perry Davis, and he told me he was going to issue 30,000 of them a month. He wanted me to be an agent for the Pain-Killer, for he said there was merit in it. I consented, and he sent me 4,000 of the pamphlet books. I tried the Pain-Killer in my family, and found it to be a complete remedy for many diseases. It was plain that my brother had not overrated its merits. For months I carried small bottles of it in my pockets. I gave them to all the invalids I met whom I could induce to take them. Soon I began to have a great call for the medicine, for it was doing wonders. I sold an immense quantity of the Pain-Killer, and continued doing so for about fifteen years. I had opportunities of seeing, in a great many different families, just what Pain-Killer could do, and I am satis- fied that it can do all that is claimed for it. 1 have seen a vast amount of misery and suffering relieved by its use. It was a favorite with my wife and children, and is so still. Not to have any Pain-Killer in the house would be as rash as not to be insured. Of all the people I have met who have used this medicine, I have never heard one say that he was not satisfied. Yours very truly, “ Aaron Ackerman." AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY YEARS. ONE FRIEND TELLS ANOTHER. Some of the best deeds of kindness the world has ever known have proceeded from the fact that a man who knew of a good thing did not selfishly keep it to himself, but was considerate enough to tell other people about it. This was the case in Lowell, Mass., where Mr. Libby might never have heard of Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer, but for the fact that when he was greatly in need of such a remedy, a good neighbor told him of it. Mr. Libby had been kicked by a horse, and but for the benign influence of the Pain-Killer would probably have been a cripple for life. Pie thus tells his story: “ Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— “Lowell, Mass. “Gents:—1 can certainly say that I have received more benefit from the use of your Pain-Killer than from any other of the many remedies I have tried. I accidently learned of it through a friend who was well acquainted with it and had profited by its use. Knowing my trouble, he advised me in the strongest terms to try the Pain-Killer, which I did. I have taken more comfort of life since that than I had pre- viously had for years. In sixteen years I have taken all manner of remedies, and have been treated by the very best physicians. I am free to say that the Pain-Killer is the only sure relief I have had. In 1865, I received a kick from a horse in the small of the back, which has caused me excruciating pain. Since then I have been a great sufferer, my back having been in a horrible condition. The doctors told me that the blow affected my spinal column. When I would stoop over and remain even for a little while, it would take me a great while to straighten myself up, and then I could do it only with extreme pain. As to being entirely cured, I cannot expect it, for that is not in the nature of things after such spinal injury; but by the use of the Pain-Killer I have been relieved from pain and suffering, and have enjoyed my life as I never could if I had not known of this remedy. My case is well-known in Lowell, and I am free to tell everybody what Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer has done for me. My shop is in the rear of 20 Market street, and my residence is 187 Chelmsford street, where I can be seen. Yours, etc., “ M. V. B. Libby.” “ Messrs. Perry Davis & Son— “ Dear Sirs:—I was taken with a severe and sudden attack of cold which settled on my lungs, pro- ducing much inflammation and painful soreness in my chest. I found Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer all I could expect in the way of a remedy. By bathing the affected parts with it, the soreness was driven away and the effects of the cold were made to vanish. I cheerfully recommend the Pain-Killer to all who are affected as I was. Yours truly, “ J. M.

For Croup it is Almost a Specific. It excites expectoration, and causes the lungs to throw off the phlegm or mucus; changes the secretions and purifies the Blood; heals the irritated parts; gives strength to the digestive organs; brings the liver to its proper action, and imparts strength to the whole system. Such is the immediate and satisfactory effect that it is warranted to break up the most distressing cough in a few hours' time i5 not of too long standing. It is warranted to give entire satisfaction, even in the most con- firmed cases of Consumption. It is warranted not to produce costiveness (which is the case with most remedies), or affect the head, as it contains no opium in any form. It is warranted to be perfectly harmless to the most delicate child, although it is an active and powerful remedy for restoring the system.' There is no real necessity for so many deaths by Consump- tion, when Allen’s Lung Balsam will prevent it if only taken in time. Physicians having consumptive patients, and who, having failed to cure them with their own medicine, we would recommend to give Allen’s Lung Balsam a trial. WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY. Amos Wooly, M. D., of Kosciusko Co., Indiana, says: “ For three years past I have used Allen’s Lung Balsam extensively in my practice, and I am satisfied that there is no better medicine for Lung deseases in use.” Isaac R. Doran, M. D., of Logan Co., Ohio, says:—Allen’s Lung Balsam not only sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction in every case within my knowledge. Having confidence in it, and knowing that it possesses valuable medical properties, I freely use it in my own daily practice, and with unbounded success. As an expectorant it is most certainly far ahead of any preparation I have ever yet known.” Nathaniel Harris, M. D., of Middlebury, Vermont, says:—“I have no doubt it will soon become a classical remedial agent for the cure of diseases of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs.” Dr. Loyd, of Ohio, Surgeon in the army during the war, from exposure, contracted Consumption. He says:—“I have no hesitation in stating that it was by the use of your Lung Balsam that I am now alive and enjoying health.” Dr. Fletcher, of Missouri, says:—” I recommend your Balsam in preference to any other medicine for Coughs, and it gives satisfaction.” Allen’s Lung Balsam is both recommended and used by prominent Physicians in all parts of the Dominion; we have testimonials from many. Individuals who have received great benefit from the use of Allen’s Lung Balsam will confer a favor upon their fellow sufferers and mankind generally by writing a statement of their disease and cure, and sanding to their afflicted friends.

Jeremiah Wright, of Marion County, W. Va., writes us that his wife had pulmonary consumption, and was pronounced incurable by their physician, when the use of Allen’s Lung Balsam entirely cured her. He writes that he and his neighbors think it the best medicine in the world. Wm. C. Digges, Merchant, of Bowling Green, Va., writes, April 4th, 1881, that he wants us to know that the Lung Balsam has cured his mother of Consumption, after the physician had given her up as incurable. He says, others, knowing her case, have taken the Balsam and been cured; he thinks all so afflicted should give it a trial. Dr. Meredith, Dentist, of Cincinnati, was thought to be in the last stages of Consumption, and was induced by his friends to try Allen’s Lung Balsam, after the formula was shown him. We have his letter that it at once cured his cough and that he was able to resume his practice. Wm. A. Graham & Co., Wholesale Druggists, Zanesville, Ohio, writes us of the cure of Mathias Freeman, a well known citizen, who had been afflicted with Bronchitis in its worst form for twelve years.
