PIQUA, OHIO, U. S. A. To Our Friends and Customers, 
Users of Pain King 
THIS pamphlet to the many friends of Porter’s Pain 
King is written with the idea of giving them a 
better knowledge of the many things for which the 
medicine can be used. 
We have been manufacturing this or\e article forty- 
five years and have thousands of customers who have 
used it since the first day it was made. We find, however, 
that even among our oldest customers there are a great 
many who have not the slightest idea of the many 
different uses of the medicine. 
Please study carefully our circular which comes 
and we believe you will find there is something about 
the uses of Pain King which you did not know before. 
It is absolutely unnecessary for you to keep in the 
house different medicines for different ailments, for Pain 
King will do the work of each of them. For instance: 
Pain King can not be beaten when made into a cough 
syrup or salve and for all diseases or troubles you may 
have either in the home or at the barn among your stock. 
Porter’s Pain King contains no poison or dope, or 
anything injurious to the health. It is made only out of 
the purest drugs and herbs. 
Do not be fooled by the big bottle other firms offer 
you. If you want a big bottle, pour a bottle of Pain 
King into a bottle twice as big, fill up with water and you 
will then have a better medicine than any other on the 
market, with the exception of pure Pain King. HOUSEHOLD USE
