A CERTAIN CURE Fur this Disease may be / found in the use of PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE 3?ain JKiller, St. Louis, Mo., June 14, 1849. Mr. A T. Woodteord, Agent of Perry Dads’ Pain Killer : Dear Sib : I feel it a duty I owe to the public, to make known the value of Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, and my experience in using it for some of the complaints for which it is highly recommended. In April last, on your recommendation, I purchased a one dollar bottle of you for pains with which I have long been afflicted, and made use of it on my trip down to New Orleans, with the most gratifying and beneficial effects. On my return to this city, tho Cholera made its appearance among some of my passengers. I made use of the Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board, and, to my surprise and gratification, found it gave immediate relief! On my arrival in St. Louis, I called on you and got four large bottles, and stated to you my confi dence in it as an infallible Cholera remedy, and remarking to you that I wanted do other Cholera remedy on my boat. I made use of the four bottles on my trip to New Orleans and hack, for Cholera and some other complaints for which it is recom mended, and met with the most astonishing success; when I ordered from you six more one dollar bottles. Since then I have made two more trips to New Orleans and back; acd on my previous trip up I had mure than SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA on board, when the PAIN KILLER was immediately used with the most astonishing results. In all cases where it was used in time, it gave relief in a very short time; and I can, with confidence, say to the pub lic, that in all the first stages of Cholera, when takon in time, it is, in my opinion, an infallible remedy! and after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and ior four trips to New Orleans and back, and using it for Cholera and other complaints for which it is recommended, no consideration whatever would induce me to leave port without a good supply—believing it to be a medicine that no officer of a boat or any family would be without a single day after using one bottle; believing it to be the most valuable family medicine known to the world for all the different complaints for which it is recommended. P. S.—Please send me six large bottles for this trip. J. M. Broadwell, Captain Steamer Adriatic. I most cordially unite with Capt. Broad woll in recommending Perry Davis’s Pain Killer to tha public, having myself been severely attacked with tho Cholera, and found relief in a few hours by using the Pain Killer, and have myself administered it to more than silty persons attacked with the Cholera, and when used in time, a cure was effected iu a few hours, and take pleas ure in recommending it to the public as an invaluable medicine, that no individual should be without a single hour. J. F. Boffington, Clerk Steamer Adriatic. Davis’ Pain Killer. — In to-day’s Union will be found an advertisement of this cele brated remedy.
