SUDDEN CHANGES.

The Propiitors DowSs' ELIXIR frequently
here il remarked by those not in the business
that cough medicines do not sell mnch during
the summer months. This is amlstaken idea.
The sudden changes to which this, climate is
subject ai all seasons Of the year, renders it
necessary to always have some relible cough
cure for Coughs Colds and Whooping Cough
and all Lung Diseases. when taken IN season.
and one dose, we have no doubt, has many
times prevented consumption and death
The best certificate that can be given for any
medicine is daily accorded to Downs ELIXIR
in the tac9 that it has survived the storm and
tempest of nearly half century, and is to
day the most popular with those who have
known it longest. 1t has gained this great
favor with the public entirely on its own NOR
its. having had less advertising done for it in
the whole time than is done for some medi

VENTILATION OF CUPBoARDs.-The
ventilation of cupboards is one of those
MINOR matters that are frequently ov-
erlooked in the erection of houses,

is apt to make itself unpleasantly ap,

The Breath of Life.

What do you breathe at night 7
".\ir" do you say I What sort--thin
or thick, pure or foul 7 You cant tell 7
never analysed III We beg your
pardou-that is q mistake, Your
lungs, aud through them your blood
analyze every breath Of air that you
take in, sleeping or waking and Il II
~ bad your aching head, your lis'less'
heavy body, your flushed checks aud
"luzzy' mouth, gives the result in the
morning with a certainty that no
chemists test can surpass.
But can you tell whether the air is
good, you ask by remembering first
that there is no pure air except that
of the great outdoors. 1t may be
warm without material injury, for the
comfort of the house-lhough this is
very seldom done but warm or cold
pure air is thing Of lie and motion
and freedom, and there Is no bedroom
big enough to bold pure air for the
use Of n single human being (not to
mention two) through one night. If
we were shut up in 'princely bed
chamber" and couldn't get the window
open, we would throw n boot jack
through the largest pane rather than
to sleep without ventilation. BY some
means or o,her-we leave you to sup.
ply its-ar from the great reservoir Of
the world must he introduced to your
sleeping room If you wish to keep it
pure.
AS to tests, we are glad to see that
q scientific lecturer has reminded
people that nature gave them noses to
use, and he advised them to employ
this picket,guard of the body to see if
the air of their bedrooms is right.
when you get up he says leave your
bedroom just as it was 60 out into the
pure morning air and breathe that till
your nose is wide awake, then 60 back
and take few suutfs of your bedroom
air if it smells fresh and sweet, like
out door air, you have got good venti'
lation, and have breathed the breath Of
life all night. lion the contrary it
smells close, musty, thick sickening,
your nose will have told you what
your sense ought to have made Gear
without the test.
With all the talk about hard times
and taxes, the air at least is free. Be
sure and get your share of it,
