SUDDEN CHANGES.

The Propiitors DowSs' ELIXIR frequently
here 1, remarked by those not in the business
that cough medicines do not sell mnch during
the summer months. This Is mistaken idea.
The sudden changes to which this, climate Is
subject ai all seasons Of the year, renders Il
necessary TO always have some reliblc cough
remedy at hand. DowSs' ELIXIR Is surc
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 DowSs' ELIXIR
in the lac, that IL has survived the storm and
tempest Of nearly half q century, and Is to
day the most popular with those who have
known II longest. II has gained this great
iavcr with the public entirely on its own NOR
its, having had less advertising done for II in
the whole time than is done for some medi
cine in single year. For sale everywhere.
