The PROJECTORS Of DowN'S ELIXIR
frequently hear it remarked by those
not in the trade, that cough medicines
do not sell much during the summer
months. This is u mistaken idea.
The sudden changes to which this
climate is subject At all seasons of the
yeay, renders it necessary to always
have some reliable cough remedy at
hand. DowN's ELIXIR is Il sure 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 gwen for any
medicine is daily accorded to DowN's
ELIXIR in the fact that it has survived
the storms and tempests Of nearly half
a century, and is to-day the most pop
ular with those who have known it
longest. 1t has gained this great IA
vor.with the public entirely Oh it's own
merits, having had less advertising
done for it in the whole time than is
done for some medicines in q single
year. For sale everywhere.

Zene Clarke likes to have things
cosy, comfortable, and handy around
him. 1t made his back ache to run
down cellar to draw so much kerosene
oil, and then the cellar was dark, and
so he got Hobson and Whitcomb to
make tank that would hold three, or
four hundred barrels. The oil in this
tank is pumped up into an iron sink
in the back store. The liquid can be
dispensed without going down cellar
at all. The other day Silas Elliott
happened into Clarke's store, and
spying the pump, excited his Curl
osty to see how some water would
taste. SEEING goblet, be pumped
it full OF kerosene oil and swallowed
it at gulp. After smacNing his lips,
tasting and splitting awhile, he re-
marked that Clarke'S water seem to
have body enough in it, but the
flavor wasn't just such as he remem-
bered it to be when he was boy.
The last that was seen of Silas he was
on his way to Lot "a Bird Range with
