Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady in this
country. "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. :

bottles tree at L. Taggart's drug store.
Regular size 50c. and $1 00. Every
bottle guaranteed.

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. For sale by L. Taggart
