 TO CONSUMPTIVE INVALIDS ! ! 
 
 Forty years since, Elder Downs first man¬ 
 ufactured his Elixir in Northern Vermont, 
 and its remarkable cures at once brought it 
 prominently before the people of the United 
 States and Canada. No other medicine has 
 maintained such an enviable reputation for 
 such a length of time. While the sale has 
 rapidly increased every year, other medicines 
 have been popular for a few months or years, 
 but their lack of intrinsic value has con¬ 
 signed them to comparative oblivion. In 
 justice to Downs’ Elixir, be it said, that it is 
 a duty the people owe to themselves that 
 they continue to use the article that has 
 always cured them of their coughs and colds, 
 rather than to take or try every new medi¬ 
 cine that is puffed up, and may be worthless. 
 N. H. Downs Vegetable Balsamic Elixir is 
 warranted to give entire satisfaction, or the 
 price paid will be refunded,by the agents.to 
 the purchaser. 
 
 SPECIAL DIRECTIONS FOR USING 
 
 N. H. DOWNS’ ELIXIR. 
 
 In all cases shake the Bottle well before using. 
 
 Common Cold. —Dose for an adult should 
 be a large tea-spoonful after shaking the 
 bottle, on going to bed, and half the amount 
 in the morning; and if the pressure of the 
 lungs continues, the dose may be repeated 
 once an hour until the patient is relieved. 
 And as there is a great variety of constitu¬ 
 tions, as a general remark we would observe, 
 that to take a sufficient quantity at night to 
 create a little nausea at the stomach, is the 
 desirable point to be arrived at, and owing 
 to the diffusibility of the medicine, half the 
 quantity only in the morning will be re¬ 
 quired to have the same effect as it does at 
 night when the body is at rest. If the pa¬ 
 tient should be quite sick on taking an over 
 dose, by taking a tea-spoonful of medicine 
 clear, or without shaking up the bottle, it 
 will make him vomit gently, or entirely 
 remove the sickness. If the patient should 
 
 vomit, as soon as you can give another tea¬ 
 spoonful clear or without shaking the bottle, 
 which will allay all irritation of tne stomach, 
 and the patient may rest assured that the 
 cold will be entirely removed. As this effect 
 does not often happen, it—is only narAd to 
 quiet any fears that may arise in the mind. 
 
 Jg^^The same course may be pursued in 
 all cases of Coughs, Catarrh, Whooping- 
 Coughs, Asthma, or pressure of the lungs bv 
 the secretion of impure matter ; in all such 
 cases, this course is to be pursued until the 
 patient raises freely without any particular 
 
 effort, and the cough is perfectly loose and 
 easy. Where extreme sickness succeeds the 
 taking of the medicine, it will be well for 
 the patient to cover up immediately in a 
 warm bed until the effect is carried off, which 
 will not be long. 
 
 First Stage of Consumption. —When this 
 insidious disease is suspected, no time should 
 be lost in taking the Elixir. Keep warmly 
 dressed, with flannel next to the body. Ex¬ 
 ercise as much as your strength will allow in 
 the open air ; eat the most nourishing food 
 you can get—do not burthen the stomach 
 with anything like nuts, cake, or unwhole¬ 
 some food. If the skin is hot and dry, the 
 whole body should be sponged with spirits 
 and tepid water as often as once a day. 
 Great benefit will be derived from rubbing 
 the chest well once a day with a mixture 
 composed of equal parts of Kill-Pain, or 
 Henry’s Vermont Liniment, and sweet oil. 
 Have a bottle of Elixir by you, and take 
 a small dose every time you have a bad 
 coughing spell—you can soon regulate the 
 dose to your case. On going to bed take 
 a tea-spoonful, in the morning take a light 
 drink of good Bourbon whiskey, with a very 
 little sugar, and not take any Elixir until one 
 hour after eating breakfast. This treatment 
 followed up carefully, has 'permanently cured 
 many who supposed they had got to die of 
 consumption. 
 
 In the second and third stages of this dis¬ 
 ease, the Elixir, taken in small doses after 
 severe coughing spells, has proved beneficial 
 in most cases; and many a good night’s rest 
 has been secured to the afflicted patient by 
 taking one or two tea-spoonfuls of this med¬ 
 icine upon retiring at night. 
 
 Croup. —This disease is confined to chil¬ 
 dren, and the dose should be small. For a 
 child of six months, from ten to thirty drops 
 may be given, repeating the dose once in fif¬ 
 teen minutes until they are easy or vomit. 
 
 This Elixir has been successfully used in 
 many cases of female weakness. It has also 
 been found a desirable addition to the 
 Nursery, to soothe and quiet restless children. 
 
 Put up hereafter in z and 12 oz. bottles. 
 Price 35 cents for the small and one dollar for 
 the large. You get as much in the large 
 bottle for $ 1 as you would for $ 2.10, if you 
 buy all small ones to get the same quantity. 
 We do not put up the medium size now.

 Kr have been a “ Railroad man” 
 ll for a great many years—have, as 
 the expression goes, grown grey 
 in the service. I am certain, how¬ 
 ever, in all my experience, I never 
 saw a road that was the equal of 
 the Valley Air Line, upon which 
 I was, at the time of'the incident 
 about to be related, a brakeman. 
 
 The Valley Air Line was one 
 of those roads that spring up sud¬ 
 denly out of the imaginations of a 
 few men. One cannot say that it 
 sprung from their purses, for if 
 they had the seed in them to grow 
 anything, it was never put in the 
 Valley. There was, as nearly as I 
 can now remember, a capital stock, 
 which was never paid up, a little 
 town and village credit, and a large 
 amount of preferred stock, first 
 and second mortgages, etc. As a 
 result, the road was built in a bung¬ 
 ling manner, grades were bad, road 
 bed was poor, bridges and culverts 
 were thrown together in the worst 
 possible manner, because the worst 
 was the cheapest. The iron was a 
 light and frail mass, manufactured 
 especially for the American 
 market, while the rolling stock 
 had been worn out in services 
 on other roads and sold to the 
 Valley Air Line on credit and 
 long time. 
 
 The reader will see from this 
 truthful statement that the Valley 
 was not the safest road for travel¬ 
 lers in the country. It was not. 
 Innumerable were the accidents 
 we had, and it is a wonder to me 
 that none of them were serious. 
 While we had many narrow es¬ 
 
 iS^Seo pages 1, 3, 6, 11, 13. 
 
 capes, we still managed through 
 sheer good luck, slow time, and 
 great care, to get on without 
 breaking bones; but I positively 
 assure you that time did not ac¬ 
 custom us to the road, and we 
 never ran into the depot at night 
 without feeling thankful that we 
 were alive. When I say we, I 
 mean the conductor, engineer, 
 baggageman, fireman and myself. 
 IIow the passengers felt I do not j 
 know, but I do know that they j 
 ought to have felt as thankful as J 
 the roadmen that their bones were 
 in good condition to allow them 
 to walk from the depot to their 
 homes. Ignorance may have been 
 perfect bliss to them, however. 
 
 The engineer of our train,—the 
 Lightning Express,—was one of 
 the most sober, careful, thoughtful 
 and industrious men that ever 
 handled a throttle. lie possessed 
 more than the ordinary share of 
 thoughtful prudence, of his class, 
 and it was owing to this fact that 
 so great a degree of good fortune 
 came to us. 
 
 A few moments before the train 
 was to start one morning, Gardi¬ 
 ner, the engineer, called me to his 
 cab. He appeared unusually down¬ 
 cast that morning, though at the 
 bestgbe was by no means a “gay” 
 fellow. “ Bob,” said Gardiner, 
 after a few seconds talk about 
 general matters, “Bob, I want you 
 to be very careful to-day. I know 
 you are a good fellow and al¬ 
 ways do your duty well; but to¬ 
 day I want you to do more. I 
 want you to stand by your brake

 N. H. DOWNS’ 
 
 VEGETABLE BALSAMIC ELIXIR, 
 
 FOE THE SPEEDY CURE OF 
 
 Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Whooping-Cough, 
 Croup, Asthma, and all diseases of the 
 THROAT, CILEST ANT) LUNGS. 
 
 This valuable medicine is purely 
 vegetable ; the discovery of which has 
 been the result of many years’ close 
 study (while suffering under those for¬ 
 midable diseases which prey upon the 
 organs of the chest) in order to discov¬ 
 er ,the causes, the symptoms and the 
 cure, viz.: Consumption, Asthma, Ca¬ 
 tarrh, Colds, Coughs, Pleurisy, Influ¬ 
 enza, Hoarseness, Spitting of Blood, 
 Bronchitis, and every species of op- 
 i pression ot the Chest and Lungs. In 
 all cases where this Elixir has been duly 
 administered its efliacy has been inva¬ 
 riably manifested, convincing the most 
 incredulous that even Consumption is 
 not incurable, if properly attended to. 
 As consumption at ite commencement 
 is but a slight irritation on the mem- 
 
 I brane which covers the lungs, then an 
 inflammation, when the cough is a little 
 more observable, but rather dry, then 
 becomes local fever, and the pulse 
 more frequent, the cheeks are flushed, 
 and chills are more common. In its 
 next stage the external parts of the 
 lungs themselves begin to participate 
 in the fever, the strength fails, the flesh 
 wastes, and perspiration is common; 
 as debility and emaciation increase, 
 small ulcerations or white hard specks 
 appear, the bowels become irregular, 
 the sleep is disturbed; in the last stages, 
 violent coughing, profuse cold sweats, 
 and constant diarrhoea, with hic-coughs, 
 close the scene. This Elixir, in curing 
 the above complaints, operates so as to 
 remove all morbid irritation and in¬ 
 flammation from the lungs to the sur¬ 
 face, and finally expel them from the 
 
 system, by perspiration and otherwise- 
 It facilitates expectoration, and thus 
 relieves the patient from a load of 
 tough phlegm which cannot otherwise 
 be wholly removed from the system. 
 It heals the ulcerated surfaces and re¬ 
 lieves the cough and makes breathing 
 easy. It supports the strength, and at 
 the same time reduces the fever. It 
 has at least one peculiar advantage 
 over other articles in common use for 
 the same purposes, it is free from strong 
 opiate and astringent articles, which 
 are of so drying a nature as to be in 
 great danger of destroying the patient ; 
 whereas this medicine never dries or 
 stops the cough but by removing the 
 cause, generally destroys the hectic 
 before the cough is entirely gone; con¬ 
 sequently, when the cough is cured the 
 patient is well. It may be relied on 
 as perfectly safe in all cases of cough 
 and irritation of the lungs; the very 
 best medicine for coughs in every fever 
 from commencement to end. It will 
 cure a slight hoarseness and cough 
 when occasioned by a cold, in a few 
 hours, and generally when severe and 
 obstinate, in a few days. It almost in¬ 
 variably cures children of croup, and 
 has in many instances, when eminent 
 physicians considered them past hope, 
 cured them in a few hours.

RUNNING A TIME TABLE.

 every second of the trip—not to 
 leave it for a moment, and when I 
 signal, I want yon to set them up 
 as you never did before, and 
 promptly too. I know you will 
 do it for me, won’t you, Bob ?” 
 
 I was too astonished to speak for 
 a second, and then I asked: “ Why, 
 what under the sun is the matter 
 with you, Gardiner? You know 
 the brakes are so nearly worn out 
 that it is impossible to set them 
 up, a*nd you know too-” * 
 
 “ I know it all, Bob, and that is 
 the reason why I want you to he 
 careful. I am going to try and 
 make the time-table to-day; if it 
 is possible, I will do so. I feel just 
 as though something was going to 
 happen, and am more than half 
 sorry that I promised; but I’ll do 
 it though. Now promise me, Bob, 
 and of!'to your brakes.” 
 
 I promised and took my post, 
 not a little mistified at Gardiner’s 
 words, looks and actions. We left 
 the depot and went rattling on 
 over the iron. Passengers looked 
 at each other in surprise and won¬ 
 dered what under the sun was the 
 matter with the Valley—if it had 
 suddenly awakened from its long 
 sleep, and now proposed to be a 
 railroad in earnest. 
 
 When the conductor came 
 through the train, and came along 
 by me, I asked : 
 
 “What is the matter with Gard¬ 
 iner this morning?” 
 
 “ Oh,” was the reply, u he and 
 the old man have had a blow-out 
 this morning. You see our train 
 never makes connections—passen¬ 
 gers always lay over, and of course 
 they growl. This morning the 
 old man called us into the oflice 
 and the whole thing was out.— 
 Gardiner talked like a father to 
 them, and, as he grew excited, he 
 said that it was criminal running 
 the road in the condition it was. 
 lie told them the time-table, as 
 made up, was fast, even for a first- 
 
 I---- 
 
 class road, and if we undertook to 
 run it, a frightful accident could 
 not be avoided. When Gardiner 
 said it was criminal to run the 
 road as it was, Supt. Brown was 
 very hot. He fairly boiled over, 
 lie declared that there was no 
 better road in the countrv, and 
 that Gardiner was a coward who 
 ought to go on to a gravel train, 
 and if he didn’t make time he’d 
 have him there, too. The road 
 was losing its business and there 
 had got to be a change. Brown 
 also said that in Valley Creek, 
 where he lived, he had noticed 
 that the train always slowed and 
 lost time enough there to lose the 
 connections. Gardiner replied to 
 this, that at the Creek there was a 
 down grade, the bridge was unsafe, 
 and he was obliged to slack up for 
 safety. More than this, the track 
 passed through the play-ground of 
 the Creek school, was not fenced 
 in, and they could not go through 
 at a rapid speed without danger to 
 the children. Then Brown burst 
 out, with an oath, that if parents 
 did not want their children run 
 over they must keep them off the 
 track. It would be a good thing 
 to run over one or two of them, as 
 it would teach them a lesson. Of 
 course, he didn’t mean this, but 
 he was “ hot” you see and did not 
 know what he did say. lie added, 
 that Gardiner’s family lived near 
 the track, and that Gardiner’s sole 
 reason for slowing, was to have a 
 chance to chat with them as he 
 went through. 
 
 This set Gardiner’s anger on fire, 
 and he them and there declared 
 that he would make time, let the 
 consequences be what they might, 
 and if disaster happened, Brown 
 must assume the responsibility.— 
 You see he is keeping his word, but 
 the old fellow feels bad though.” 
 
 We dashed on over the frail iron 
 at a frightful. speed. You could 
 almost hear the bars crackle as we

 Every Physician understands 
 that there is a class of cases where 
 an alterative is especially indicat¬ 
 ed, and we claim that this prepar¬ 
 ation is vastly superior to any of 
 the Sarsaparilla and Yellow Dock 
 Alteratives ever offered to the 
 public, as any educated Physician 
 who has made himself at all ac¬ 
 quainted with the effect of Stil- 
 lingia can testify. 
 
 The combination, as presented, 
 possesses marked diuretic and lax¬ 
 ative properties, which wonderfully 
 increase the alterative effect of the 
 Stillingia, thereby assisting 
 greatly to eliminate morbid depos¬ 
 its from the system. 
 
 Great pains are taken in its pre¬ 
 paration to get the entire strength 
 of all the ingredients, and we be¬ 
 lieve, for the diseases enumerated, 
 it will give better satisfaction than 
 anything of the kind ever before 
 
 offered to the profession and the 
 public. 
 
 We do not claim that it will 
 cure everything, nor that it is ab¬ 
 solutely infallible in all cases for 
 which it is recommended; but we 
 do claim that it is a scientific com¬ 
 bination, prepared on scientific 
 principles, and it is better adapted 
 to cases where an alterative is re¬ 
 quired than any other preparation 
 now in use; and the day is not far 
 distant when the base of the Com¬ 
 pound—Stillingia—will stand at 
 the head of the long list of altera¬ 
 tives. 
 
 Physicians can be supplied with 
 the Compound at a much cheaper 
 rate than they can prepare it in 
 small quantities; and on applica¬ 
 tion a sample bottle will be fur¬ 
 nished any Physician, free of 
 charge, also the formula, that he 
 may know what he is using.

 went. The cars surged from east 
 to west, forcing passengers to fairly 
 cling to their seats. Not for a 
 second did I leave my brake. 
 
 We were nearly down to Valley 
 Creek, on time. As we approached 
 the long stretch of down grade, I 
 felt by the shaking that Gardiner 
 had slackened up, as if the danger 
 were really too great; and then, 
 as if his promise had come full 
 upon his mind, had again carefully 
 opened his throttle. Down the 
 Valley we went, our rapid speed 
 startling the birds, the cattle, and 
 even the staid old forest trees into 
 new and strange ideas. I grasped 
 the brake firmly; the engine whis¬ 
 tled and screamed, warning all to 
 keep clear of it. 1 held my breath, 
 well knowing that if we left the 
 track it would be to go to destruc¬ 
 tion. Suddenly the whistle ceased, 
 and then there came three un¬ 
 earthly yells from it; they pierced 
 my ears and made them ache.— 
 How I set up the brake, for I felt 
 there was danger ahead. I knew 
 this when Gardiner suddenly re¬ 
 versed his engine. The shutting 
 otf, the reversing, and the brakes 
 set up so tight that I feared the 
 chains would break, did not seem 
 to have the slightest effect upon the 
 train. On, on, it went, at its dan¬ 
 gerously rapid speed. 1 stretched 
 my neck out as far as possible, 
 clinging nervously to the railing. 
 I could see that Gardiner was at 
 his post, looking out as I did, and 
 moving his hand energetically, 
 while whistle and bell were unit¬ 
 ing their protest. 
 
 What was the matter I could 
 not conjecture, but was anxious to 
 know. Springing upon the rail, I 
 made my way to the top of the 
 car, and the mystery was revealed. 
 There on the track was a smht 
 that sent a thrill of horror through 
 me. Only a few feet ahead of us 
 on the track, stood a mere child— 
 unconscious of its danger—para- 
 
 lyzed so that it could not move. 
 Just clear of the track lay a wo¬ 
 man, evidently helpless. 1 looked 
 for Gardiner, to see what he was 
 doing ere I closed my eyes to shut 
 out the horrible sight. The poor 
 fellow had mot been idle. Plainly 
 seeing that he could not drive the 
 child from the track, and that its 
 companion was helpless, he left 
 his cab and climbed forward on 
 his engine, to the extreme end 
 of the cow-catcher, leaned over, 
 and while clinging with one hand, 
 reached out with the other. There 
 did not seem one chance in a mill¬ 
 ion to save the child—not one,— 
 but anxiety overcame horror, and I 
 looked, and shuddered as Hooked. 
 
 Ilow my heart leaped into my 
 very throat as I saw the train dash 
 on, but saw that as it did so, Gard¬ 
 iner, with almost superhuman ef¬ 
 fort, raised the child by its arm 
 from the track and clasped it to 
 his bosom! Then he sank down 
 on the cow-catcher faint and pow¬ 
 erless. His fireman clambered out 
 to his side, and you may rest as¬ 
 sured I was not long in getting to 
 their assistance. 
 
 The unusual noise of the steam 
 had brought every person in the 
 village out to witness the sight, 
 and as they realized it they shouted 
 their joy until their throats must 
 have been hoarse. The fireman 
 and I clung to Gardiner; there 
 was no need to hold the child, for 
 although rigid and helpless, Gardi¬ 
 ner held the little one to his breast 
 with an iron grasp. Very soon 
 we crossed the bridge and struck 
 the up grade where the train 
 slowed and finally came to a full 
 stop, nearly in front of Gardiner’s 
 house. 
 
 With the help of some of the 
 villagers we took by force the child 
 from Gardiner’s arms and carried 
 the engineer into the house and 
 laid him on the bed. As he sank 
 down the little life in him seemed

 WOEI' LOZEMES. 
 
 A Pleasant, Safe and Effectual Remedy for Worms. 
 
 Of all remedies designed for a spe¬ 
 cial purpose, the great desideratum i3 
 to procure the best. Having had oc¬ 
 casion to deal largely in vermifuges, 
 many years, aiid knowing the adapta¬ 
 bility of such remedies to the purpose 
 for which they are intended, we have 
 no hesitation in saving that the article 
 we now offer to the public is far supe¬ 
 rior to all others, inasmuch as it is 
 more effectual in its results, less objec¬ 
 tionable on account of the taste, and 
 generally obviates the necessity of 
 taking castor oil, or any other nau¬ 
 seous laxative to carry off the worms ; 
 
 thus acting in the double capacity of 
 a vermifuge and a cathartic, removing 
 the cause of disease, and restoring to 
 health. 
 
 In using these Lozenges, as in all 
 other medicine, the exercise of judg¬ 
 ment is necessary, as constitutions vary, 
 and what may be a small dose for one, 
 will be a large dose for another. It is 
 better that a low diet be maintained 
 for a day or two before using, and also 
 during their use, as an over-crowded 
 stomach impedes the action of the 
 medicine.

 DE, BOYCES’ T0IIC BITTERS: 
 
 OR 
 
 Blood. Renovator. 
 
 COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF VEGETABLES. 
 
 The effect of this medicine is 
 truly wonderful. It acts directly 
 on the bowels and blood and is a 
 mild but thorough Cathartic. It 
 expels all morbid secretions and 
 obstructions from the body, stimu¬ 
 lating the internal organs into 
 healthy action, cleansing the sys¬ 
 tem and purifying the blood, caus¬ 
 ing it to How anew through every 
 part of the body, giving health and 
 new life to the frame. Are you 
 suffering with any of the diseases 
 that follow a torpid/or diseased 
 liver, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, 
 Bilious Diseases, Foul Stomach, 
 
 Costiveness or Weakness? Then 
 these Bitters will do you good. 
 Mandrake, one of the ingredients 
 of this medicine, is now admitted 
 to be one of the very best agents 
 known for restoring the liver to 
 healthy action; has almost entirely 
 taken the place of Calomel with 
 all good physicians. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. 
 
 For an adult a tablespoonful in 
 sweetened water three times a day 
 before meals. The dose may be 
 increased or lessened t as the case 
 may require Price, 50 cents.

 to come back, and he whisper'ed: 
 “ Whose child is it ?” 
 
 “ Superintendent Brown’s,” said 
 a neighbor, to my astonishment. 
 
 “ Is it alive ?” gasped Gardiner. 
 
 “ It is alive and well—thanks to 
 your bravery,” I answered, and 
 Gardiner sank back upon his pil¬ 
 low. 
 
 The child which Gardiner had 
 so miraculously saved, was a son 
 and only child of our Superintend¬ 
 ent. It seemed singular that the 
 morning talk of the two men 
 should have so singular an ending; 
 but so it was. The wife of the 
 Superintendent with their only 
 child had been out for a walk.— 
 The little one running on ahead 
 had strayed upon the track. Hear¬ 
 ing the whistle, the mother called 
 the child to her, but the child, 
 happy in its freedom, ran on, 
 laughing and shouting, child-like, 
 into the jaws of danger. It was 
 too much for the mother; she 
 made an effort to save her darling, 
 but before she could overtake the 
 little one, her strength failed her 
 and she fell. 
 
 Our engine was injured so that 
 it was impossible to go on, and 
 another was telegraphed for. We 
 tried all we could to bring Gardi¬ 
 ner back, but the physician said 
 that the excitement under which 
 the noble fellow had labored, had 
 prostrated him, and it would re¬ 
 quire the greatest care and a long 
 time to bring him back to life, 
 lie had that care, you may rest as¬ 
 sured. I was in Gardiner’s house 
 when Supt. Brown came in that 
 night. The “old man,” as we 
 called him, had lost all sign of his 
 anger, and he wept like a child as 
 he looked upon the strong man 
 thus prostrate before him. lie 
 visited the patient daily, and his 
 very life seemed to hang upon 
 Gardiner’s recovery, and when the 
 danger was passed, the long fever 
 which ensued was broken, and the 
 
 engineer began to recover, the Su¬ 
 perintendent was as happy as a 
 child. 
 
 I may say, in conclusion, that 
 the incident was not without its 
 result, for at once the Valley Road 
 w r as thoroughly rebuilt in the best 
 possible manner, newly stocked, 
 and is to-day one of the best roads 
 in the country, running its trains 
 on time and giving great delight 
 to the traveling public; thanks to 
 the enterprise and energy of Supt. 
 Gardiner, a kind-hearted, grey¬ 
 haired gentleman, who is ranked 
 among the best railroad men in 
 the country. I go down twice a 
 year to see him, and we always 
 talk about the day when he under¬ 
 took to run his time-table and the 
 result thereof. 
 
 This thrilling little sketch illus¬ 
 trates in a very striking manner 
 the noble qualities of a class of 
 men of whom we are verv little 
 accustomed to think in this con¬ 
 nection,— namely, railroad men. 
 People have become so accustomed 
 to this expeditious mode of travel¬ 
 ing, in comfortable, even luxurious 
 carriages, without personal trouble 
 or responsibility, as to regard it as 
 a natural state of things; and for- 
 get that such results can only be 
 attained by constant labor and 
 unremitting care and faithfulness 
 on the part of these men, whom 
 we are so ready to reproach and 
 blame. The fact that we so readily 
 trust our lives in their hands, 
 (•roves that we believe them to 
 possess these qualities of faithful¬ 
 ness and fidelity; and how often 
 do we see it proved in deeds of 
 heroism as grand as were ever 
 witnessed on the held of battle: 
 when conductor, engineer, fireman 
 or brakeman goes on to certain 
 death, if by doing so lie has one 
 chance to save those committed to 
 his care! 
 
12 EVERY FAMILY SHOULD KEEP KILL-PAIN AND DOWNS’ ELIXIR ON HAND 
 
 DR. DOWNING’S 
 
 OR 
 
 PAIN RELIEVER. 
 
 A PURELY VEGETABLE PREPARATION, 
 
 For the Immediate and Permanent cure of all Internal and Exter¬ 
 nal Pain. There is no Pain Curer, Pain Killer, or Pain Extractor 
 in the world superior to this Medicine. 
 
 Ifgg^Read carefully, Full Directions with each Bottle. 
 
 COLD—“ TAKING COLD. 
 
 Changes from warm to cool 
 weather, or going to sleep in a 
 room not properly aired, are said 
 to occasion “ a severe cold” not 
 unattended with danger. No 
 doubt suppressed perspiration of¬ 
 ten occasions a severe illness, be¬ 
 cause by the pores of the skin, in 
 health, we evaporate two ounces of 
 ;perspiration per hour , forty - eight 
 ounces per day . No wonder, then, 
 we are sick when this ordination 
 of nature goes not on with regu¬ 
 larity. 
 
 Kill-Pain is used with great suc¬ 
 cess in breaking up a cold in its 
 first stages,—(after it is seated on 
 the Lungs N. H. Downs' Elixir is 
 the best expectorant now in use.) 
 The patient should hasten (the 
 very moment he feels chilly and 
 as though he had taken cold) and 
 take a foot bath, just as hot as can 
 be borne, and cover up warm in 
 bed; then bathe the soles of the 
 feet well with Kill-Pain, and take 
 one teaspoonful in nearly half a 
 pint of warm water ; add milk, and 
 sweeten to suit the taste; and in 
 twenty minutes repeat the dose, 
 unless perspiration starts freely. 
 
 The Kill-Pain acts promptly in 
 equalizing the circulation of blood, 
 
 thereby assisting nature very much 
 to throw off disease by perspira¬ 
 tion and otherwise. As a family 
 Remedy it is very valuable, for 
 the permanent cure of Neuralgia 
 (see full directions for treating 
 Neuralgia in circular around each 
 
 •bottle), common Cold, Cholera, 
 
 # 
 
 Cholera Morbus, Nervous or Sick 
 Headache, Bowel Complaint, 
 Chronic Rheumatism, Fever and 
 Ague, Crick in the back, weak 
 Nerves, Spinal affections, Pain in 
 the Head, Inflammation or Pain 
 of any kind, Sore Throat, &c. We 
 refer the reader to the full direc¬ 
 tions around each bottle, and feel 
 
 * 
 
 confident, if you try one bottle and 
 learn HOW to use Kill-Pain, you 
 will never be without it in the 
 house. If you are very Bilious, 
 and Liver inactive, Dr. Johnson’s 
 Compound Mandrake Pills (Podo- 
 phyllin) will assist very much to 
 effect a speedy cure. 
 
 Kill-Pain retails, small size, 25 
 cents; large, 50 cts., and is sold by 
 dealers in medicines everywhere. 
 
 jggg^Remember Kill-Pain is an 
 interned and exterml remedy, and it 
 is well in cases of violent pain or 
 suffering to take a dose before ap¬ 
 plying it externally. 
 
 Please Read and Circulate.

 Could we for a moment see the 
 world set back to its pre-railroad 
 state, we could realize, more fully 
 than we shall ever be able to do, 
 the obligations we owe to railroad 
 companies, and should perhaps be 
 less ready to seek for faults in 
 these valuable public servants. 
 
 Next to the railroad man, or 
 
 is the Physician. Entirely over¬ 
 looking his own comfort and con¬ 
 venience, he devotes himself to 
 relieving the pains and saving 
 the lives of his fellow creatures. 
 Through summer’s heat and win¬ 
 
 ter’s cold, through rain and snow, 
 he goes, often in weariness and 
 exhaustion, to administer healing 
 medicines to the sick. Well and 
 truly may the physician be called 
 
 a benefactor of mankind. Nor is 
 
 * 
 
 he less a public benefactor, who 
 places carefully compounded, safe 
 and efficient medicines, all ready 
 to be administered, within the 
 reach of all—with full and explicit 
 directions, so simple as to be un¬ 
 derstood by a child. By these 
 medicines, so conveniently at 
 hand, disease may be attacked 
 and overcome at its first appear¬ 
 ance; when it might be impossible 
 to obtain a physician, or when, as 
 is often the case, the illness seems 
 so slight at first, we think it is not 
 worth while to call him in. WFen 
 if we have at hand some tried and 
 true medicine, which we can ad¬ 
 minister ourselves, we attend to it 
 at once, and thus save long sick¬ 
 ness many times, and even life 
 itself. 
 
 OF HENRY & JOHNSON’S 
 
 u CHOICE FAMILY PREPARATIONS” 
 
 Have been before the American and Canadian People for 
 
 more than a quarter of a Century . 
 
 N. H. DOWNS’ VEGETABLE BALSAMIC ELIXIR 
 
 was first introduced over forty years ago, and has had a re¬ 
 markable history—it has won its way by actual service , until 
 it has become a household friend in thousands of our best 
 families—regular Physicians use and recommend it. Clergy¬ 
 men, and all public Speakers, are its best patrons. Rail Road 
 Employees, much exposed to Colds, Coughs, &c., should al¬ 
 ways use it. Farmers, Lawyers, Merchants, and everybody, 
 old and young, speak highly in its praise. 
 
 Why do all speak so highly in praise of Downs’ Elixir ? 
 Because it invariably cures Coughs, Colds, Croup, and all 
 Lung difficulties, and is perfectly safe to give to the youngest 
 child. Mothers should always keep a bottle ready for imme¬ 
 diate use in time of need. 
 
 In conclusion we wish to sav, all of our Medicines are pre¬ 
 pared Scientifically and are PURELY VEGETABLE. We 
 use no Mineral Poison whatever, in any of our Valuable 
 Remedies. 
 
 JEsgrOnr medicines are supposed to be for sale by some one in ovory city and town in the 
 United States and the Dominion. If you do not find them in your town, please ask your 
 Merchant or Druggist to order some at once from any wholesale Druggist. 
 
 
MANDRAKE PILLS are the best Liver Regulator now in use, and are perfectly safe in all cases. Try them.

 I 
 
 
 COMPOUND 
 
 ABB 
 
 A. Purely Vegetable Preparation. 
 
 Composed of Mandrake, Hyoscyamns, and oilier valnaMe ingredients. 
 
 ZVSAWBRimS is Cathartic, Emetic, 
 
 Alterative, Anthelmintic, Hydragogue and 
 Sialagogue, as a sure and active cathartic it 
 deserves a high rank among our indigenous 
 productions. We have no other native plant 
 that answers the common purpose of Jalap, 
 
 Aloes and Rhubarb, and which is more safe 
 and mild in its operation. It acts principal¬ 
 ly as a cathartic, if the doses administered 
 are moderate. 
 
 It promotes glandular action, exerting also 
 a powerful influence on the condition of the 
 cutaneous tissue, and regulates the circula¬ 
 tory system. 
 
 In bilious and typhoid febrile diseases, it 
 is very valuable as a cathartic, or Emetic- 
 Cathartic, often breaking up the disease at 
 once. 
 
 A moderate use of Mandrake is effectual 
 in Chronic Liver Complaint, and indeed in 
 all hepatic derangements. 
 
 The best medical work in this country 
 says of it: “ There is not its superior in the 
 whole range of medicines, arousing the liver 
 to a more healthy action, increasing the flow 
 of bile, and keeping up these actions longer 
 than any other agent with which we are 
 acquainted. 
 
 DIRECTIONS. 
 
 It promotes free action of the kidneys, 
 arousing the absorbents being a regulator of 
 all secretions, so far as any one medicine can 
 be, and exerts a complete influence over the 
 pathologic condition of the blood, preventing 
 its strong determination to any part where 
 congestion or incipient inflammation would 
 be produced—as for instance, in the brain. 
 
 H¥OSG¥AMUS is a powerful nar¬ 
 cotic. In medicinal doses it is anodyne, hy¬ 
 pnotic and anti-spasmodic; allaying pain, 
 soothing excitability, inducing sleep and 
 arresting spasm. 
 
 It does not produce constipation like opi¬ 
 um, but has a tendency to act as a laxative. 
 
 Is good in Chronic Cough, iration of the 
 urinary organs and inflammatory cases at¬ 
 tended with excitability, painful spasmodic, 
 affections, hysteria, rheumatism and gout. 
 It is much used by physicians in connection 
 with griping cathartics, to counteract the 
 disagreeable effects. 
 
 There are other very valuable ingredients 
 used in preparing these Fills and the pro¬ 
 prietors assure all who use them that they 
 do not contain mercury or any mineral sub¬ 
 stance whatever. 
 
 Foe Sick and Nervous Headache, (in¬ 
 duced by costiveness,) Indigestion, Foul 
 breath, Jaundice, Liver Camplaint, and all 
 Bilious disorders, take from one to two Pills 
 on going to bed and repeat every night until 
 you have taken from twelve to sixteen, un¬ 
 less you get relief before. 
 
 Foe Dyspepsia, take one Pill every morn¬ 
 ing a half hour before breakfast, for three 
 mornings and then omit for three mornings, 
 leaving tea and coffee alone for the time, and 
 eat very little highly seasoned or greasy 
 food,—and continue this treatment until you 
 get relief. 
 
 Foe Neuralgia, take from one to two 
 Pills on going to bed, and bathe the part 
 
 affected with “ Dr. Downing’s Kill-Pain.”— 
 Read carefully the other side of this circular. 
 
 Foe Rheumatism and Gout take two Pills 
 on retiring at night for three nights, then 
 omit three nights, and so continue until 
 better. 
 
 For Dropsy, Pains in the Side, Back, 
 Stomach, Limbs or joints, same dose as for 
 rheumatism. 
 
 Foe Night Sweats, or Cold feet, or Wake¬ 
 fulness the same a3 above. 
 
 For Fever and Ague in the first stage of 
 the disease, take two Pills on retiring at 
 night, and one Pill half an hour before 
 breakfast, and continue until relieved. 
 
 Price, 25 cents per box.

 I >11. WAHOMONOGO’S 
 
 INDIAN PILE REMEDY. 
 
 A safe and certain Cure for Haemorrhoids or Piles. 
 
 Burlington, Yt., May 8, 1873. 
 
 To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 
 
 This is to certify that I have this day transferred to Henry & John¬ 
 son (of Burlington, Yt.) the full control of Hr. Wahomonogo’s Indian 
 Pile Remedy, and have taught them the “ Secret ” how to manufacture 
 the same. All orders should be addressed to them. 
 
 RAKSOM COLBETII. 
 
 In assuming the Proprietorship of “Dr. Wahomonogo’s Indian Pile Remedy” we have 
 onlv to say we do sincerely believe it to be the best , the surest and safest Remedy for Piles 
 yet discovered. 
 
 “ Itching Piles ” can be positively cured; also Blind and Bleeding Piles. 
 
 “Itching riles” may be recognized by a fine Rash under the skin scarcely perceptible 
 and almost colorless, producing a very disagreeable and distressing “Itching” as though 
 an innumerable number of Pin worms were crawling in and about the rectum. It is gen¬ 
 erally preceeded by ordinary Piles. 
 
 We invite our friends to give this valuable medicine a trial if 
 suffering with ordinary Piles, for the longer you delay the harder it 
 is to effect a cure. We guarantee satisfaction in every case when faith¬ 
 fully used according to directions. 
 
 Remember this Ointment is purely vegetable xmd perfectly harmless! 
 
 JDIT^EOTIOIsrS. 
 
 Wash carefully with tepid water and castile soap once a day. 
 
 Stir the contents of the bottle with a splinter, then apply the Ointment with the ball of 
 the finger. For internal Piles, it should be applied with a candle by inserting it from two 
 to four inches. The application should be made twice in twenty-four hours. 
 
 Price $ 1.00 per Bottle—Sold by all Druggists. 
 
 HENRY & JOHNSON, Proprietors,

 Please read the following home testimony. 
 
 To whom it may concern : 
 
 We, the undersigned, Druggists of Burling¬ 
 ton, Vt., certify that we have sold “Dr. Wa- 
 hoinonogo’s Indian Pile Remedy” for several 
 years past, under a guarantee and have 
 never had to redeem a bottle yet. All our 
 customers speak very highly of it.

 Burlington, Vt., May 12, 1873. 
 To whom it rnay concern : 
 
 In 1869 I procured a bottle of Dr. Waho- 
 monogo's Indian Pile Remedy of R. Colbeth, 
 after using it a short time, was cured. I 
 cheerfully recommend it to anv one troubled 
 with the Piles, as I think it is a sure cure. 
 
 Geo. J. Stannard, 
 Major General. 
 
 Burlington, Vt., May 12, 1873. 
 
 To whom it may concern: 
 
 In August, 1869, coming from Ogdens- 
 
 burgh I was taken with Piles. I used Dr. 
 Wahomonogo’s Indian Pile Remedy and was 
 cured, after using the medicine according to 
 directions, and have had no return of the 
 difficulty since. 
 
 Jo. D. Hatch, 
 
 President of Board of Aldermen. 
 
 East Rutland, May 2, 1870. 
 
 Dear Sir.—My wife has been troubled with 
 the tumor piles and I have tried five different 
 doctors and medicines but to no effect, until 
 your remedy, the Indian Pile Remedy. I 
 procured a bottle immediately. The first 
 application gave her great relief and after 
 using one bottle she was completely cured. 
 I can therefore speak in much praise of this 
 valuable medicine. 
 
 P. Lynch. 
 
 tfaY' Wo have certificates from nearly 
 every Physician in Burlington and vicinity 
 and guarantee every one genuine. You have 
 only to try this medicine which has cured so 
 many, and then you too, can “ certify ” with 
 great joy.

 When the chilling winds of winter 
 Howl ainid the leafless brandies, 
 
 When from out the North the Storm King 
 Marches with his snowy Banners,— 
 
 And with fierce and sudden conquest 
 Lays all summer dead before him: 
 
 Every flower and every leaflet 
 He lays stark and dead before him; 
 
 And the singing birds of summer 
 Fly away from all the Northland. 
 
 Where the air seems full of arrows, 
 
 Full of sharp and stinging arrows 
 That will pierce us, if we venture 
 But to step outside the doorway, 
 
 Then Consumption, fell destroyer, 
 
 Sallies forth to seek his victims. 
 
 Coughs and Colds are his forerunners, 
 Marking where success is easy; 
 
 And, where these are not resisted 
 But allowed to hold possession, 
 
 There Consumption, gaunt and ghastly, 
 Soon will make his dread appearance, 
 
 And will seize his hapless victims. 
 
 Would you have a sure protection 
 From this foe, so justly dreaded! 
 
 A protection so unfailing 
 That you need not fear his visits? 
 
 Go and Buy some DOWNS’ ELIXIR, 
 
 Some real N. H. Downs’ Elixir; 
 
 Made from all most healing Balsams 
 Found in all the Northern forests,— 
 Balsams of the Pine and Fir tree: 
 
 Made in Burlington—a city 
 Standing near the Champlain waters; 
 
 At one hundred twenty-seven, 
 
 Very near the head of Church Street, 
 
 By the firm of Henry & Johnson, 
 Medicine men, well known tq many: 
 
 And for sale at every Drug Store 
 Throughout all the frozen Northland. 
 
 ’Tis a safe and sure protection, 
 
 Go and buy it, and be happy.

 how to use it, hut if any one does not get tJ)e desired effect 
 we adwise t1)em to increase the dose and follow directions 
 around each hottle, carefully. Xife is precious and medicines 
 should he taken promptly and at the right time. The large 
 hottles are much cheaper in long standing Pulmonary com¬ 
 plaints, as you should use the Thxir freely.

 ELECTRIC OINTMENT 
 
 Cares Scratches, Calls, Calls, Flesh Wounds, Salt Rheum, k 
 
 1 to 6 applications will cure the worst cases of Scratches. 1 to 2 
 applications will cure Galls, Flesh YVounds and Chapped Hands. 
 4 to 6 applications will cure Founder when in its early stage, (after 
 the disease is seated it cannot be wholly cured.) This Ointment, 
 however, will prove very beneficial. 1 to 2 applications will cure 
 Cow’s sore teats. Farmers, try it. 
 
 HENRY'S ELECTRIC OINTMENT used according to directions, with JOHN¬ 
 SON’S CONDITION POWDERS, is warranted to cure Scratches. 
 
 DIPwECTIOlTS. 
 
 For Scratches, clean the part affected with Castile Soap; apply once 
 a day enough to moisten the sore; rub it in thoroughly with the fingers. 
 Never in any case use hot irons, nor pick the scab off, which will 
 form after the first application. For Founders, apply to the coronary 
 ring, (the point where the skin joins the hoofs,) also to the frog of the 
 hoof, once in three days. For Galls, Calks, Flesh Wounds, Chapped 
 Hands, Salt Rheum, &c., apply every day until healed, always observ¬ 
 ing to rub it in thoroughly. For Salt Rheum, first cleanse the blood. 
 
 JOHNSON’S 
 
 CELEBRATED 
 
 CONDITION POWDERS. 
 
 For HORSES, CATTLE and SWINE. 
 
 These Powders niayj^e given with great advantage in all cases of 
 worms, loss of appetiteyroughness of the hair or coat, stoppage of 
 water and bowels, all coughs and colds, inflamation of the lungs and 
 bowels, recent founders, swelling of the glands of the throat, horse 
 distemper, hide bound, and also will check the heaves, and in recent 
 cases effect a cure. In fact, there is no disease among horses, cattle 
 and swine where these valuable Powders are not called for, and by their 
 timely administration they will save the lives of many valuable animals. 
 
 dDIF^EOTIOISrS. 
 
 The dose fora horse is from one to two tabl^spoonfuls, acording to severity of attack in 
 any feed a horse will eat, mixed in a little water. The same for cattle, and a little less for 
 swine. For the young of either of ihe above, about one-half the dose. In severe cases, 
 when the animals refuse to eat, it will be necessary to increase the dose a little, and mix it 
 with a ball of rneal and force it down the throat. 
 
 Price 25 cents, or Five Packages for One Dollar. •
