Below VIC print the story of Rev N. ii.
Downs, Baptist preacher, in Vermont,
who died few years since, at good old
age. We do this because others may he in
the same condition, and a few bottles OF the
medicine he originated might cure them. as
it did him. Downs Balsamic Elixir is
the name to inquire for.
From my first remembrance have been
habituilly inflammatory and subject to
cough and great Irritation of the lungs,
from the slightest causes. Have had in early
life many fevers, generally attended with
severe cough, which physicians have
found difficult to manage. Many Of my
family relatives have died with consump
ton. In March, lS2S. | was attacked with
a most severe cough, which soon confined
me to my room so the most eminent physi-
clans considered my case hopeless. How
ever, in June, by the use OF some of tho ar
ticles OF which the Balsamic Elixir is COM
posed my health 50 improved that, With
difficulty, | could walk abroad. NV health
continued to improve. so az to enable me to
pay some attention 10 my calling, But in
February, 1929. my complaint came on
moro severe, which feared would prove
fatal unless some means could be devised to
stop its progress As the Spring came on.
determined ,ifpossible, to finda remedy for my
cough. | commenced again the use of the
several articles of which the Balsamic Elixir
is composed, and, by combining myself to the
use of these, and receiving no other medi-
cal aid, and by diet. enabled me (though
with much diticulty) to pursue my calling,
which was very trying TO my lungs. In
March, 1882, had my last severe attack of
bleeding, during which time nearly com
ple,ed the Baisamic Elixir, so that free use
of it q few weeks entirely cured me. Since
which have never been troubled with spit
ting blood, and have been almost entirely
free from cough, although previous to that
had suffered as much from cough as any man
of my age. | have since given it to hun
dreds for tho above complaints, and in
nine cases out of ten it has had its desired
effects And. further, have never known
it to produce any unhappy eject, and know
it to be perfectly harmless and safe in all
cases for which it is recommended. Ii il,
therefore, from a sense Of duty to myself, to
the suffering, and love OF humanity that
induces me TO offer and recommend this ar
ticie. | am aware that in so doing it expo
ses me to the sneers OF the superStitiOus and
incredulous. and, what is worse, to the cen
sure of those who have been imposed upon
by many useless articles. which have been
palmed upon them by their high recommen
dstIons for the same complaints.
