"Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughedlincessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle ol Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night; and with two bottles has been ; absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes VV. <J. : Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial \ bottles tree at L. Taggart's drug store. Regular size 50c. and $1 00. Every bottle guaranteed. Many okl soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endured during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Ross vile, York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. "I had a severe attack \ lately," he says,"and procured a bottle j of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so ! much good that I would like to know | what you would charge me for one | dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted I it both for his own use and to supply it ! to his friends and neighbors, as every j family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheumatism, j but lame back, sprains, swelling, cuts, i bruises and burns, for which it is un- i equalled.
