Rails are said to have such dislike to
potash, that if it is powdered and
scattered round their haunts they will
leave them. A piece of rag well soak
ed in strong solution Of cayenne is a
capital thing to put into rat or mice
holes, as they will not attempt to eat
it. A plug of wood covered with a
piece of flannel so prepared may be
used to fill up the holes. Cockroaches
and ants have similar dislike to
cayen ne, and little strewed about a
cellar will keep it clear Of them.

SUDDEN CHANGES.

The Propiitors Downs ELIXIR frequently
here it 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 at all seasons of the year, renders it
necessary to always have some rclible cough
remedy at hand. Downs ELIXIR is q 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 given for any
medicine is daily accorded to Downs ELIXIR
in the iac9 that it has survived the storm and
tempest of nearly half o 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
cine in single year. For sale everywhere.
