Davis Pain Killer from the reports of dealers in this j

Messrs. Perry Davis At Son :—Permit me toncknowl j
edge the benefit of your valuable medicine—the Pain
Killer. I have been afflicted lor two years and a half
with a severe pain in the stomach and breast,and never
found any relief until I tried Davis' Pain Killer, to
which I cheerfully attribute my r storalien to good
general health. I consider it the best family medicine
in use, for reslori g and building up a debilitated system

Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain-Killer!
Travellers *re always liable to sudden murks of
Dvsenfary and Choleri Morbus, and these occurring
when absent front borne are very unp'eosant. JVrry
Davis’ VEGETABLE IMl.\ KILLEK may always
be relied U;»on in such eases. As soon as you feel the
symptoms, take one •easpoonful in a gill of new milk
and mo'nsses and a gill of hot water, stir well together
and drink hot. Kepest the dose every hour until re
lieved. It the pains be severe, bath the Lowein and
hark with tin* medicine, char.
In i ases of Asthma and Phthisic, take a te&.-poonful
in a gill of hot water sweetened well with mot >ses :
abo balk*' the th ou t and Momaeh faithfully with the
medicine, clear.
Dr. Sweet says it takes out the soreness in cases of
boue-srtiin* faster than anything hoover applied.
Fishermen so often exposed to hurts by having their
skin pierced with hooks arid fins of fish, can be much
relieved by bathiu with a little of Pain Killer as soon
ns thenccideni occurs ; in this way the anguish is soon
abated; bathe as often as once in five minutes, say
three or four times, and you will seldom have any
trouble.
The bites and scratches of dogs or cats are soon cured
by bathing with the Pain Killer, clear. Great success
has been realized by applying this medicine as soon ns
the accident occurs.
THAT all the bald and gray can he restored perfect
ly to original growth, s«* far as their lo-^ks are concern
ed, does not admit of doubt; besides, it will cure every
possible disease of the scalp, whether developed as dan
druff, itching, or in the shape of cutaneous eruptions—
even scald-head— and in r.o possible case will it fail
of curing ns if by magic, nervous or periodical head
ache. and if used twice a week by the young, regularly,
it will preserve the color, and keep the hair from fall
ing, lo any imaginable age. Bead and judge.

C. iL R. Office, Vandalia, June 21, 1354.
Profes-or Wood—
De r iSir: I take pleasure in hearing voluntary testi
mony to the excellence of your Hair Restorative.
Three months ago, my hair was very gray. It is now a
' dark brown, (the original color,) smooth and glossy.
I’he only application I have made to it, has been the
! Hair Restorative prepared by v 0 u f and which, from the
result in ray own case, I ran most cordially recommend
toothers. Yours, respectfully, E. Wolcot.
Vincebnbs, Ia., June 21, 1353.
Prof O J. Wood—*s you are ah »ut lo manufacture
and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I
will siate, f»r whomsoever it may concern, that I have
used it, and known others to use it—that I have, fur
several years, hern in the habit of using other Hair
Restoratives, and tint I find yours vastly superior to
any o!h» r I know. It entirely ole irises the head of dan
druff. and with one month’s proper use, will restore any
person’s hair to the original youthful color and t* xttire,
giving it a healthy, sof; and glossy appearance; iih<I all
tills without disc during the hands that apply it, oi the
dress on which it drops. I would, therefore, recom
mend its use to e^ery one desirous of having a fine col
or and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, Wilson King.
St. Louis, June 20, 1853.
Prof. Wood—As you are about to prepare and v nd
your lecenlly discovered Hair Restorative, and as you
request my opinion of it, 1 will state, that my hair was,
a month ago, wry gray, and after using two bottles of
yi*ur Hair KcMtorative t resumed its original color, and
since its application, all dandrulThas disappeared from
my head, and I have been troubled with no disagreeable
itching of the scalp, 1 am satisfied tfTat those who use
it will not regret it. as it gives the appearance of having
been recently oiled, I am prepared, therefore, to re
commend its use to all who are desirous of having a
beautiful head of hair.
I am,sir. yours, etc, II. L. Stewart.
Prof. Wood—Dear Sir My hair had, for several
years, been becoming prematurely yray, accompanied
by a harshness which rendered the constant application
of o I necessary in dressing it, Wh*n I commenced
using your Hair Restorative, hut two months ago. it was
in that condition; and having continued its us till with
in the last three weeks, it h is turned to its natural col
or, and as.sinned a softness and lustre greatly to tie pres
ferred lo those produced by the application of oils or
any other preparation I have ever used. 1 regard it as
an indispensable article for every lady’s toilet, whether
to housed as a Hair Restorative, or for the simple pur
pose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have
permission to refer to me all who entertain any doubt of
us perfornfng all that is claimed for it.
Mrs. C. Symonds, 144 Third st,

Watertown, Mass., May 1, 1854.
Prof. O. J. Wood—Allow me to attest the virtues
and magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three
months since, being exceedingly gray, I purchased and
commenced to use two bottles, an*! it soon began to tell
in restoring the silver locks to their native color, and
the hai , which was he£>re dry. harsh, and falling off.
now became s .ft and glossy, and it ceased falling ; the
damJrnflr disappeared, ami the scalp lost all th<* d;sa
greeahle itching, so annoying before, and now’ 1 not on

Washington Lowed Us Anther.
Immediately after the organization of the pres
ent government, Washington repaired to Freder
icksburg, to pay his humble duty to his mother,
preparatory to liis departure to New York. An
affecting scene ensued. The son feelingly re
marked the ravages tottering disease had made up
on the aged frame of liis mother, and thus ad
dressed her:
‘•The people, madam, have been pleased with
the most battering unanimity-, to elect me to the
chief magistracy of the United States, but before
I can assume the functions of that office, I have
come to*bid you an affectionate farewell. So soon
as the public business, which must necessarily be
encountered iu arranging a new government, can
be disposed of, I shall hasten to Virginia and"—
Here the mother interrupted him. “You will see
me no more. My great age. aud the disease that,
is fast approaching my vitals, warn me that I shall
not be long in the world. I trust in God, I am
somewhat prepared for ;t better. But go, George,
fulfill the high destinies which heaven appears to
assign you; go, my son, and may that heaven’s
and your mother's blessing be with you always."
The President yvas deeply affected. His head
rested upon the shoulder of his parent, whose
aged arm feeblv. yet fondly encircled his neck.
The brow, on which fame had wreathed the purest
laurel virtue ever gave to created man, relaxed
from its loft f bearing. That look, which could
have awed a Roman Senator in its Fabrioan day,
was bent in filial tenderness upon the time worn
features ot this venerable matron.
Ihe great man wept A thousand recollections
crowded upon liis mind, as memory, tracing scenes
long past, carried him back to his paternal man
sion, and the days of youth : and there the center
of attraction was his mother, whose care, instruc
tion and discipline had prepared him to reach the
topmost of laudable ambition; yet how were his
glories forgotten .while lie gazed upon h-r from
whom, wasted by time and malady, he must soon
part to meet no more.
The matron’s predictions were true. The dis
ease which had so long preyed upon her frame,
completed its triumph, aud she expired at the age
of eightv-five, confiding in the promise of immor
tality to the humble believer.
Remember his story, little children. Washing-’
ton. you kuow, was a great man. We shall never
expect to see any little boy become a great man
who does not love his mother.
To Young Hen.
That never'll do, young man .' No use to stand
on the sidewalk and whine about hard luck, and
say that every thing goes against you—no such
thing. It does not think of you. You are like
all the rest of us—a mere speck upon the earth’s
surface. Were you this moment to go down in
the living tide, out a bubble would linger for a
moment upon the surface, and even that would
vani>h unnoticed. The heart is full of hope and
ambition, but is not missed when it ceases to beat.
One such as you would not leaven rippie.
You are a coward iri’Un battle. There’s no fight
in you; you have surrendered without a struggle,
and now whiue because beaten! You are uot yet
worthy of a triumph, for you have not yet earned
it. Garret, hut. and dripping cellar, are ten thoue-
and heroes who would put you to shame. They
must toil or starve. The strife is a desperate one
with them, for they wrestle with want, while rag
ged and despairiug ones watch at the lone hearth
the contest. Strong men look death in the eye
when their sinews are strung by the wail of hun
gry childhood.
Shame ou you. In full vigor of health and
manhood.no mouth but your own to fill, and no
back to coyer but your own, and yet couching un
der the first scorchings of adverse fortune. You
kuow nothing of the storm, for you have seen but
the summer. Or:c cloud has frightened you. and
you think you „rc hardly dealt by. You will be
lucky if you find no darker shadows across your
path.
Stand up. young sir, pull your hands from your
pocket, throw off your coat, and take fortune by
the throat. You may be thrown again aud again,
but hang on; put away the nonsense that the
world is all against you. 'Taint so. Your destiny
is iu your ovvu strong arm. Wield it like a man!
With an unbending will, and honor and truth for
your guide, the day is your own.
No capital, eh! You have capital. God has
given you perfect health. That is an immense cap
ital to start on. You have youth and strength—
all invaluable. Add a will to do, put your sinews
in motion and win. A man of full health aud
strength should never whiue or despair, because
fortune does not pour a stream of gold eagles into
Lis pockets. If you have no money, work and
get it. Industry, economy, and integrity, will do
wonders. From such beginnings, fortunes have
been reared. They can be again. Will you try
it ? Or, will you wait for the stream to go by, so
that you can walk dry shod into the El Dorado of
■wealth! Or will you meet the waves defiantly,
and be the architect of your own fortune ?
Try—it is glorious to conquer in strife.

The Throne of Solomon.—The following account
(says an exchange) of a remarkable piece of
ni'-cbanism is taken from a Persian manuscript
called “The History of Jerusalem.” It purports to
be a description of the Throne of King Solomon,
and if the details are correctly given, it undoubted
ly surpasses any piece of mechanism produced in
modern times. The sides ofit were pure gold, the
feet of emeralds and rubies intermixed with pearls,
each of which were largo as an ostrich’s egg. Tho
Throne had seven steps—on each side were de
lineated orchards full ot trees, the branches <-f
which were of precious stones, representing fruit,
ripe and unripe; on the tops of the trees were to be
seen figures of plutnage birds, particularly the*
peacock, the staub and the kurges, all these birds
were hollowed within artificially, utter a thousand
melodious songs: such as the ears of mortals never
heard. On tho first were delineated a vine branch
having bunches of grapes composed of various sorts
of precious stones, fashioned in such a manner as
to represent the various colors of purple, violet,
green, and red, so as to render the appearance of
real fruit. On the second step, on each side oi the
throne, were two lions of terrible aspect, largess
life, and formed of cast gold
The nature ot this remarkable throne was such
that when Solomon placed his foot upon the first
step the birds spread forth their wings and made a
fluttering noise in the air. On his touching the
second step the lions expanded their claws. On
his reaching tho third step the whole assemblage
of demons and fairies and men repeated the praise
of the Deitv. When he arrived at the fourth,
voices were heard addressing him in the following
manner. “Son of David, be thankful for the bless
ings which the Almighty has bestowed upon
you!” The same was repeated on reaching the
fifth step. Ou his touching the sixth, all tho chil
dren of Israel joined them, and on his arrival on the
seventh all the birdsaud animals became in motion,
and ceased not until he had placed himself in the
r0 \iil seat, when the birds, lions and other animals,
by secret springs, discharged a shower of most
precious perfumes on Solomon, after which two of
tho kurges descended and placed a golden crown
on his head. Before the throne was a column of
burnished gold, on the top of which was a golden
dove, which held in its beak a volume bound in
silver. In this book were written the Psalms of
David; and the dove having presented the book to
the king, he read aloud a portion of it to the chil
dren of Israel. It is further related that en the ap
proach of a very wicked person to the throne, the
lions were wont to set up a terrible roaring, and to
lash their tails with violence. The birds also began
to bristle up their feathers, and the assemblage,
also, of demons aud genii to utter horrid cries; for
fear of them no one dared be guilty of falsehood,
but all confessed their crimes. Such was tbe
throne of Solomon the son of David.
