    Mr. Davis, by his industry, money, and means, has established a valuable business in the sale of this preparation. It is well known and extensively used in almost every part of the United States and the Canadas. It has been introduced into Europe, the East In- dies, China, the West Indies, South America, and in fact into almost every land where American ships trade, and in all these places a good demand has been created. Soon after the Pain-Killer became generally known, and the public fully satisfied that it was a medicine of real merit and great value, other parties used the name Pain-Killer on their medi- cines, apparently expecting to profit by the great popularity of the name. Some, whose sense of moral right was strong, or who had fears of the law, when shown their true position, left off the name Pain-Killer and adopted some other. Others preferred to know what the law would decide, and they were soon furnished with the information.
