Reducingtne Surplus,

The disposition of the surplus in the

question has our attention, and that is
the reduction of the surplus Consump-
tives. Since the discovery and intro
duction of DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumpt ion there has been a
marked decrease in the mortality from
this dreaded disease, and it is possible
to still further reduce the number of
coDsumptives. How? By keeping
con instantly at hand bottle of DIR.

cording to directions, upon the appear
ance of the first symptoms, such as a
cough, cold, sore throat, a chest or
side pain. Taken thus early cure is

is making good race with twelve years of
