St. Pierre is a very little island—a

is but one hundred and six square miles
and its .• Permanent population but two

national rendezvous and shelter ror the

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.
We can furnish such incontrovertableproof
o' the magical virtues of the Alle'vaator in all
those discal ;s in which pain is the prominent
characteristic, that the most sceptical can no
longer doubt iti superiority to all other pain
relieving agents. Dr. J. Briggs' Allevantor
