MUSLINS, TICKINGS, CHEAP PRINTS, T SHIRTIl� GS, LADIES' STRAW HATS, In spasams of muscles in various parts of fie body, excretating pa'ii is the only mai ifestation of disease, and by relieving the pain a cure is effected. Cramp and colic are familar examples of this kind of pain. As tho proxomite causes of intimation as a sense of injury- felt: by the.organic nerves; g'.v�sng rise to pain, which is thefirst sympton. •manifested,° it is evident that -the inflamation can be prevented by a remedy- capable of soothing and allying nervons irritation and inducing a cotfortale state of feeling. It will be seeii:f'om the above consider - at ion, of pain iii its relation to morbid states of the system, that in numerous eases it is the sole element of disease, andthat a remedy that possesses the power of relieving pain, is all that is required for a eure.
