Not Much Grip
in Burlington.

The newspapers report the prevalence
of grip In different parts of the coui.l ry,
but there is very little in New Englan nd,
and scarcely any in Burlington. The
reason of our remarkable exemption
from this terrible scourge Is the almost
universal use in New England of Dow MS
Elixir for sudden colds, which is the pri-
mary cause of grip.
A full dose Of Downs Elixir on going to
bed. frequent doses during the dag, will
master the worst case of grip in from
one to three days.
