r lleanness Extraordinary.
Krfiome yeais ago while Captain Ward
a craft on the upper lakes, a
Lgao fell overboard in the evening. The
immediately discovered, and
Bjßßbaptain promptly threw a number of
gjajae articles into the lake for the drown
to sieze upon.
Among these happened to be a bunch of
from a lot which the imperilled
was having transported on
the l - at. When tho vessel was turned
ySHt, it was found that this bunch had
U|Hed within reach of the man, and
thflhe had sustained himself upon it.
■He was taken on board, aud, without
expressing any gratitude for his deliver
gjß. he told the captain, with considera-
that he should expect pay
fIH his shingles that had been thrown
ovrf board! —Captain Ward replied that
he fas very sorry—that if he had known
thtjlshingles were his, he would not have
doige it!
This is a true story, and when any
body can beat it, he shall have our hati
jnd, if he desires it, a written acknowl
edgement of our unqualified belief in
thepoctrine of total depravity. —Detroit
Tribune.
Force of the European Powers. —
According to a statement in La. Presse )
the military land forces of all the powers
of ' Europe form an effective total of
4,102,214 men of whom 2,581,282
belong to the six powers represented in
the Congress of Paris. The naval forces
of al| tho maritime States of Europe,
according to the same authority, form a
total©!' 2,815 ships, of which 600 are
stean|- vessels, and an approximative to
tal of 50,000 guns. The six powers re
presented at the Congress have a united
naval firce of 1,519 vessels and 39,648
guns. -They may speak, therefore, with
a potential voice when together they
undertake to adjust the terms of peace
for Europe.
Blessings which vve have slighted
when in our possession, are more highly
prized when there is danger of our being
deprived of them ; and our hearts are
more keenly touched by the anticipation
of loss than by the fullness of enjoyment.

wife of Mr. John Langton, of Cincinnatti, Ohio,
had a remarkable had breast, in which there
were two large running wounds, to what cause
to &ribute it, the doctors did not know, but
•£f|itcd the adoption of a variety of remedies,
whigh were of no use. At last, Mr. Langton de
tempined to try what Holloway’s Pills and Oint
ment would do, he fortunately purchased a
Entity, and after his wife had used them for
three weeks, a visible improvement took place;
bpeontinuing them for two months, she was
Wfcctly cured.

Holloway's Medicines.—We are
not in the habit generally of noticing the thou
sand and one medicines of the day; but when a
really meritorious one is before the public, it
is due to the afllicted that the fact should be
made known. We have used Holloway’s Pills
and Ointment in cases of humors, bruises, and
scalds, with beneficial effects, and there arc cases
within our knowledge of extraordinary cures
performed in diseases of long standing. Profes
sor Holloway’s Ointment and Pills are among
the few preparations which perform all the cures
for which they arc recommended, "We are satis
fied that for purifying thb blood, regulating the
stomach, and curing liver and bilious complaints,
no better remedy can be found. —Bangor Demo

numbers of others, who were suffering with
nearly every form of disease, with the most won

He says it is the most extraordinary medicine
he lias ever seen used, and the best blood puri

MY DEAR SIR, —I desire to state a fe\/
instances of good resulting from the use
of the Pain Killer. The first case that I shall
mention in which I performed a cure was that of
a servant boy who had his right hand severely
scalded by the falling of boiling oil on if, was in
few days perfectly cured by the application of a
mixture of Cream and Pain Killer, as directed in
such cases. Then my girl was cured of an ob
stinate cough Lastly, i shall refer to mvsclf—
I took the medicine—-not from any confidence I
had in it; on the contrary, I took it with a great
deal of fear—however, I must own that it several
times relieved me of cold in the chest—and it
cured me of a fever —of pain in the knee—and
an ulcer in the mouth. In addition to the above
a case of cholera was brought to my notice; a
coachman was attacked with this disease, and
medicines kept for this complaint were given to
the man without any effect, and, as the last re
sort, when he was cold and speechless, the Pain
Killer was administered, which threw a warmth
into the system and revived his sinking energy
--in short, the man was restored.
R. W CHILL, Calcutta, India.
Dear Sirs— Wc began celling Perry Davis’
Pain Killer with very little effort on our part;
sales were small at first, but as it became known
in our community, the demand increased very
rapidly, far beyond our expectations, and every
person that bought it would come after more,
and speak in the highest terms of it as a valuable
remedy fo** all those diseases your pamphlet.,
spoke of. From these recommendations we were
induced to use it in our own families, and now
continue its use with great satisfaction. We
have sold more of the Pain Killer than we ever
have since or before of any other medicine in the
same length of titneahd we do not hesitate to
say that it gives better satisfaction to the pur
chaser than any other article we have ever sold.
Hurry of business has prevented our sending
certificates, but we have in our vicinity from
fifteen hundred to two thousand Jiving witnesses
who testify to their neighbors, day by day, of
the value of Davis’ Pain Killer. Keep a large
supply in nhe West, it is just such a medicine
as the people want, and they have already found
out that they can cure the fever and agu ■ for
twenty-five cents. It will cure a cold in one
hour—a severe cough in one night—and has
proved to be the best medicine in use for a dis
eased stomach and many other purposes.
LOCKWOOD A GRAHAM,
Sandusky Citv. Ohio.
Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer.—
Voluntarily, conscientiously, and with much
pleasure, we recommend to our readers the
above named medicine. Wc sneak from our own
observation and experience wnen we my that it
removes pain as if by magic, from all parts of
the body, and is one of the best medicines in use
for checking diarrha a, and removing the pro
monitory symptoms of cholera. It is applied
both internally and externally, with tb* best
effects, and none who have once used the Pain
Killer, would willingly be without it constantly
in their houses. —(Jirlcinnati Evening Nonpareil.
One word in regard to Perry Davis* Pain
Killer. I have used it in my family for some
years, and take great pleasure in recommending
it as a valuable medicine, that should be kept in
every family. I have witnessed wonderful and
speedy cures by its use—recently, within the
last week, I have known a very severe case of
rheumatism soon relieved and promising a
speedy cure, by this, in my estimation, invalu
able remedy. JABEZ S. SWAN,
Pastor of the Huntington street Baptist 1
Church, New London, Conn. f
Davis’ Pain Killer. — l was attacked with
dysentery, and it soon became very distressing;
I used this medicine according to the directions,
and was curtd in three days. My wife was also
attacked with pain in the stomach, in conse
quence of eating too soon after a fit of sickness;
she was relieved, in a few minutes after taking
this medicine. To use her own words, she said
she felt the pain remobe after she had taken it,
as quick as you could see a lump of sugar dis
solve in cold* water. My son was burnt so badly
the skin was off; I applied the medicine im
mediately, aud it took the fire out aud healed
the wound in less time than I ever saw one healed
before. One of my children fell over a chair and
bruised its head very bad, but the bruise was
soon dispersed by bathing in this medicine. I
will mention one case more of its wonderful
effect in curing a wound inflicted by my son’s
falling out of doors and cutting himself badly:
the pain was soon relieved, and the wound healed
by this medicine. In fact, it is the best family
medicine I ever used for the cure of colds,
coughs, ahd a number of other complaints inci
dent to the human family.

Arc Curing the Sick toon extent never
before known ofany .Medicine.
Invalids, Read mid Judge for Yourselves.
JULES HAUKL, Esq., the well known perfumer
ot Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice
products arc fouud at almost every toilet, says:
“ I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills,
that I have found them a Better family medicine
for common use, than any other within my
knowledge. Many of my friends have realized
marked benefits from them and coincide with
me in believing that they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out discuses and curing the
sick. They are not only effectual but safe and
pleasant to be taken, qualities which must inako
them valued by the public, when they are
know’ll. *
The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from
Baltimore, loth April, 1851:
“Dn. J. C. Ayer—Sir: 1 have taken your Pills
with great benefit, for the iistlcssuess,* languor,
loss of appetite, and Billious headache, which has
of late years overtaken me in the spring. A few
doses of your Pills cured me. 1 have used your
Cherry Pectoral many years in my family for
coughs and colds with dnfniling success. You
make medicines which cure, and I feel it a pleas
ure to commend you lor the good you have done
and are doing.”
John F. Beatty, Esq., Sec. of the Penn. Railroad
Cos., says:
“Fa.ft. It . Office, Philadelphia, Dec. 13.1853.
“Sir I take pleasure in adding my testimony
to the efficacy of your medicines, having derived
very material benefit from the use of both your
Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. lam never with
out them in my family, nor shall I ever consent
to be, while my means will procure them,”
The widely renowned 8. S. Stevens, M. D. of
Wentworth, N. 11., writes:
“ Having used your Cathartic Pills in ray prac
tice, I certify from experience, that they are an
invaluable purgative. In cases of disordered
functions of the liver, causing headache, indiges
tion, costiveness, and the great variety of disea
ses that follow, they arc a surer remedy than any
other. In all cases where a purgative remedy is
required, I confidently recommend these Pills to
the public, as superior to any other I have ever
found. They are sure in tlieir operation, and
perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in
valuable article for public use. I have for many
years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Cough medicine in the world, and these Pills arc
in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation
for the treatment of diseases.”
“Acton, Me., Nov. 25. 1653. '
“Dr. J. C. Ayer —Dear Sir: I have been af
flicted from my birth with scrofula in its worst
form, and now, after twenty years’ trial, and an
untold of amount of suffering, have been com
pletely cured in a few weeks by your Pills. With
what feelings of rejoicing I write, can only be
imagined when you realize what I have suffered
and how long.
“ Never until now ha~c I been free from this
loathsome disease in some shape. At times it
attacked my eyes, and made me almost blind,
besides the unendurable pain ; at others it settled
in the scalp of my bead, and has kept me partly
bald all my days; sometimes it cauie out in my
face, and kept it for months a raw sore.
“About nine weeks ago I commenced taking
your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free
from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin
is fair, and my hair has commenced a healthy
growth; ull of which makes me feel already a
new person.
“ Hoping this statement may be the means of
conveying information that shall do good to oth
ers, lam, with every sentiment of gratitude,
Yours, Ac.,
MARIA RICKER.”
“ I have known the above named Maria Ricker
from her childhood, and her statement is strictly
true. ANDREW J. MESERVE,
Overseer of the Portsmouth Munuf’g. Cos.”
Capt. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston, 20th April, 1854.
“ Your Pills have cured me from a billious at
tack which arose from derangement of the Liver,
which had become very serious. I had failed of
any relief bv my Physician, and from every rem
edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills
have completely restored me to health. I have
given them to my children for worms, with the
best effects. They were promptly cured. I re
commended them to a friend i'or costiveness,
which had troubled him for months; lie told me
in a few days they had cured him. You make
the be.' t medicine in the world, and I am free to
say sr .”
Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the
Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have
made him well known, not only in this, but the
neighboring States.
“New Orleans, sth Aprtl, 1854.
“ Sir: I have greut satisfaction in assuring you
that myself aud family have been very much ben
efited by your medicines. My wife was cured
two years since, of a severe and dangerous cough,
by your Cherry Pectoral, and since then has en
joyed perfect health. My children have several
times been cured from attacks of the Influenza
and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en
tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness
which has grown upon me for some years,—in
deed this cure is much more important from the
fact that I had failed to get relief from the best
Physicians which this section of tha oonntrv rf
foriis, and from any of the numerous remedies I
had taken.
“ You seem to us, Doctor, like a providential
blessing to our family, and > u may well suppose
we are not unmindful of it.
Yours respectfully,
LEAVITT TIIAXTER.”
“Senate Chamber, Ohio , April sth 18. .4.
“ Dr. J. C. Ayer —Honoved Sir: I have made a
thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by
yourageul, and have boon cured by them of the
dreadful rheumatism yindcr which he fouud me
suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few
subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis
ease. I foel in better health now tbau for some
years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef
fects of your Cathartic Pills.
Yours with groat rof.pcct,
LUCIUS B. METCALF.”
