The Uncorrupted Preservation
of the Scriptures.
That the Sacred Writings are not only
genuine, but have been transmitted to us
entire and uncorrupted, and that they
are, in all essential points, the same as
they came originally from the hands of
their authors, we have the most satisfac
tory evidence that can be required.
With regard to the Old Testament,
the original manuscripts were long pre
i«erved among the Jews, who were always
remarkable for being most faithful guar
dians of their sacred books, which they
’transcribed repeatedly and compared
carefully with the originals of
4whicb they even number the words and
fetters. That the Jews have neither mu
tilated nor corrupted these writings is
tfully proved by the silence of the proph
ets, as well as of Christ and his Apostles,
;Jftvho, though they bring many heavy
Charges against them, never once accuse
them of corrupting one of their sacred
Vritings; and also by the agreement, in
every essential point, of all the versions
•n<l manuscripts, amounting to nearly
1150, which are now extant, and which
furnishes a clear proof of their uncorrup
ted preservation. In fact, the constant
•ending of the sacred books (which were
at once the rule of their faith and of
their political constitution) in public and
private; the numerous copies of the orig
inal, as well as of the Septuagint version,
which was widely spread over the world ;
the various sects and parties into which !
the Jews were divided after the Cannon
was closed, as well as their dispersion
into every part of the globe, concurred to
render any attempt at fabrication im
probable and impossible before the time
of Christ; and after that period the
same hooks being in the hands of the
Christians, they would instantly have
detected the fraud of the Jews, if they
had endeavored to accomplish such a
design, while the silence of the Jews, who
would it'd have failed to notice the at- j
tempt if it had been made, is a clear
proof that they were not corrupted by
the Christians.
Equally satisfactory is the evidence for
the integrity of the New Testament
The 'multiplication of copies, both of the
original and of translations, into a variety
of foreign languages, which were read,
not only in private hut publicly in the
religious a-seml.lies of the early Chris
tians; tlie reverence of the Christians
for these writings; the variety of sects
and heretics which soon arose in the
Christian Church, each of whom appealed
to the Scriptures for the truth of their
doctrines rendered any material altera
tions in tlie sacred books utterly impossi
ble; while the silence of their aelitest
enemies, who would most, assuredly have
charged them with the attempt if it, had
been made, and the agreement of all the
manuscripts and versions extant, are pos
itive proofs of th; integrity and incor
ruptness of the New Testament; which
are further attested by tlie agreement
with it of all the quotations which occur
in tlie writings of the Christians front the
earliest ages to the present time. In
fact, so far from there having been any
gross adulteration in tlie sacred volumes,
the best and most able critics Lave as.
eerted and proved that, even in lesser
matters, tlie Holy Scriptures of the New
Testament have suffered less from the
injury of time and errors of transcribers,
than any other ancient writings whatever;
and that the very worst manuscript extant
would not prevent one article of our faith
nor destroy one moral precept.
The Hiccup. —We have often heard
that people can find no remedy for that
annoying complaint, the hiccup or hic
cough. I may mention that some time
ago I had occasion to call at a Highland
shooting-lodge, and on entering the
kitchen, where two English sportsmen
were sitting, I happened to be attacked
by a fit of hiccup, and must have cut
rather an awkward figure. I observed
one of the sportsmen take a piece of
gray paper from his pocket, and after
lighting and blowing it out, ho started
up, and without saying a word, held the
fumes of it opposite my mouthand nos
trils. I started, to be sure, but was
quite astonished to find myself immedi
ately cured, and I have since seen it
frequently tried on others, and always
proving a “ never failing remedy.”

JULES HAUEL, Esq., the well known perfumer
of Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice
products are found at almost every toilet, says:
"lain happy to say of your Cathartic Pills,
that 1 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 diseases and curing the
sick. They are not only effectual but safe and
pleasant to he taken, qualities which must make
them valued by the public, when they are
known/
The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from
Baltimore, loth April, lKf>4:
“Du. J. C. Ayku— Sir: I have taken your Pills
with great benefit, for the listlessness," 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 dnfailing success. Von

very material benefit from the use of both your
Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. lam never with

to be, while my means will procure them,”
The widely renowned S. S. Stevens, M. D. of
Wentworth, N. 11., writes:
“ Having used your Cathartic Pills in my 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 nre 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 anv other I have ever
found. They are sure in their 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 are
in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation
for the treatment of diseases.”
“Acton, Me., Nov. 25. 1853.
“ Dr. J. C. Ats.r —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 wuen you realize what 1 have suffered
and how long.
“ Never until now lm-e 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 head, and has kept me partly
buld all my days ; sometimes it came 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 fl ee
from the complaint. My eyes are well, in}' skin
is fair, and my hair has commenced a healthy
growth; all of which makes me feel already a
new person.

Cant. 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 by 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 for costiveness,
which had troubled him for months; he told me
in a few days they had cured him. You make
the best medicine in the world, and I am free hi
say so.”

Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have
made him well known, not only in this, but the
neighboring States.
“New Orleans, hth April , 1854.
u Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you
that myself and 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 the country af
fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I
had taken.
“ You seem to us ? Doctor, like a providential
blessing to our family, and you may well suppose
we are not unmindful of it.

“ Dr. J. C. Ayer— Honored Sir: I have made a
thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by
your agent, and have been cured by them of the
dreadful rheumatism _undcr which"he found me
suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few
subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis
ease. I feel in better health now than for some

MY DEAR SIR,- —I desire to state a few
instances of good resulting from the use
of the Pain Killer. The first case that 1 >hall
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 it, wn- in
I few days perfectly cured by the application of a
I mixture of Cream and Pain Killer, os directed in
such cases. Then my girl was cured of an ob
stinate cough Lastly, 1 shall refer to invscll
I took the medicine—not from any confidence J
had in it; on the contrary, I took it with a great
deal of fear—however, I must own that it several
times relieved ine 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. \V CHILL, Calcutta, India.
Dear Sins-We began selling 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 mure,
and speak in the highest terms of it as a valuable
remedy f<» r all those diseases your pamphlet
spoke of. From these recommendations we were
induced to use it in our own families, and m w
continue its use with great satisfaction. Wo
have sold more of the Pain Killer than we ever
have since or before of any other medicine in the
same length of timeand we do not hesitate to
say that it gives better satisfaction to the j ur
chaser than any other article we have ever si Id.
Hurry of business has prevented our send ng
certificates, but we have in our vicinity fn m
fifteen hundred to two thousand living witness, a
who testify to l hoi r 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 ague 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 dit*
eased stomach and nmnv other purposes.

Perry Davis’ Vegetable. Pain Killer.—
Voluntarily, conscientiously, and with much
pleasure, we recommend to our readers tho
above named medicine. We speak from our own
observation and experience when we say 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 diarrhoea, and removing the pro
monitory symptoms of cholera, It is applied
both internally and externally, with tli* - best
effects, and none who have once used the Pain
Killer, would willingly be without it constantly
in their houses. —Cincinnati Evening Nonpareil.
One word in regard to Perry l)avis Pain
Killer. I have used it. in my family lor 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 ease of
rheumatism soon relieved and promising a
speedy cure, by this, in my estimation, invalu
able remedy. JAJJEZ 8. SWAN,
Pastor of the Huntington street Baptist 1
Church, New London, Conn. \
Davis* Pain Killer, i was attacked with
dysentery, and it soon became very distressing;
I used this medicine according to the directions,
and was cured in three days. My wife was also
attacked with pain in the stomach, in con se
quence of eating too soon after a tit of sickness;
she was relieved ill 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 otf; 1 applied the medicine im
mediately, and it took the lire out and healed
the wound in less time than I oversaw 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 sou’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, and a number of other complaints inci
dent to the human family.
