SOldlby all Druggists and Merchants. Price,
2oz. 35 cents; Il OF. $l.00 per bottle.
Forty years since, Elder Downs first manu-.
featured his elixir in Northern Vermont, and
its remarkable cures at once brought it prom.
inenty before the people of the United States
and Canada. While the sale has rapidly in
creased every year, other medicines have
been popular for few months or years but
their lack of intrinsic value has consigned
them to comparative oblivion. In justice to
DOWNS ELIXIR, be it said, that ii is duty
the people owe to themselves that they con.
tinuc to use the article that has always cured
them of their COUGHS and COLDS, rather
than TO take or try every new medicine that
is pu1fed up and may be worthless. N. II.
DOCnS Elrir is warranted to giue entire SatjSfac
tion or the price paid ociU be refunded. Clergy.

use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys
tenn expelled, Instructions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleanscd by 4Uer's Pits, and
stimulated into action. Thus inCipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
1t, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues u1impaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as q Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For dyspepsia or Indigestion, EistIess-
ness, LanguOr and EOss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Eivcr Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Heatt-
ache, Jannslice or Green sickness, Bill
fOus Collie and Bilious Eeyers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or EeiarrhOea, but one
mild dose is generally required
For Rheumatism GOut, Gravel, Pal
pitatiOn of the Heart, Pain in the
Side, Back and AOins they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the SYSTEM With such change those
complaints disappear.
For nrOpsy and DrOpsical swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression, Il large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
AS a Dinner PHI, take one, or two Pits to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and nvgoratcs the
system. Hence it Is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. one who feels
tolerably WELL often finds that dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.
