WORTH KNOWING.

Mr.. W. II. Morgan, merchant, Lake City Fla,
was taken with a severe cold, attended with a
distressing Cough and running in to Consumption
in its first stages. He tried many so-called pop
ular cough remedies and steadily grew worse.
Was reduced in flesh: had difficulty in breathing
and was unable to sleep. Finally tried DR.. King :
New Discovery for Consumption and found mme-
diate relief, and after using about a half dozen,
bottles, found himself well and has had no re-
turn of the disease. No other remedy can show
so grand record of cures, as DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Guaranteed to do
just what is claimed for it, Trial bottle free at
