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.

Dated this 15th day of April, 1856. JEPTHA BALL, Guardian April 19 40d of Jesse Ball, a lunatic. 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. PERRY M. PfiCKHAM, Fall River.

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.
