"The name of DR.. Downing, the
great Specialist in the cure of chronic
or lingering diseases, has become a
household word in thousands of homes,
which hisskill and wonderful vegetable
medicines have made happy by restor-
ing dear ones to health after all hope
was lost.
In the history of medical science
there are few physicians who, have
done more for the alienation of human
suffering and the cure of diseases than
DR.. Downing and his associates.
And i'm this connection we would say
a word about DR.. Downing as a physi-
clan, and his most remarkable skill
and success in curing diseases. For
many years he has been prominent and
well known among the eminent physi-
clans of this country, and the great
and grand work achieved by him i'm
combating and overcoming human
misery, the marvellous, not to say the
wonderful cures he is constantly effect
ing in all forms of chronic and nervous
diseases, the enormous magnitude of
his medical practice; which is one of
the largest of any physician in the
United States, as the sick visit him,
or write him concerning their diseases
from all parts of the country-all these
are considerations which have given
DIR. Downing the
Highest Reputation
among our people and especially among
the thousands whom he has saved from
lives of torture and suffering, from dis
ease, or perhaps rescued from perma-
ture death.
DR.. Downing is a graduate of the
highest and best medical colleges i'm |
his country, and lsa specialist in every
sense of the word, treating only that
class of affections known as chronic or
ong standing diseases. He has devoted |
his life to the thorough knowledge and
understanding Of these diseases, which
include those troubles and ailments of
| lingering nature affecting the blood,
nerves, stomach, throat and lungs.

obtain the wonderful results that DIR.
Downing has in the treatment of ca

He Wants Separate Buildings Can't

HARRISBURG, Feb. IL Governor
Hastings has consulted with Attorney
General Mccormick and it has been
found that the state cannot be bonded
to secure money TO build the statehouse.
The executive favors the erection of
new buildings, and says that the Gus
tomary appropriations must be cut
down or new taxes must be levied to
raise sufficient revenue. A statement
from Governor Hastings covers his
views and those of the attorney gen.
eral in these matters as they will be
transmitted to the legislature next
week
He favors putting up separate build
ings, one reason being that i'll two years
a legislative building could be erected
while general building would require
four or five years TO erect.
He is opposed to moving from Harris
burg, as it would cost too much.
