A VoNANp DISCOVERY.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that, too by lady in
this country. Disease fastened it's
clutches upon her and for seven years she
withstood it's severests tests, but her vital
organs we're undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought of US bottle of DR.. Kings
New Discovery for consumption and was
so much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night, and with one
bottle has been miraculously cured. Her

The Prosperity of $4,000.

A serial of protectionist arguments on
the prosperity under the tariff of 1916
would make funny reading. First, sit
never happened-there was nothing but
panic and hard times" Next the state
ment was, 1.-The SO called prosperity was
due to the Irish famine and foreign
wars" But they were soon shown that
we sold no grain to the Irish, but gave il
to them; and the wars of 1846-60 We're
less than those since 1860. Then the
gold of California was given as the rea-
son. But there has been much more
gold produced since 1860. "Oh, that
don't count" and so on, for absurdity
and contradiction. War and export.
brought prosperity under low tariff, they
say, but greater wars and threefold
greater exports of farm products dom
count in 1S7O-S0. The entire exports OF
farm products during the whole Crimean
war were less than the exports of 1881
by over 100000, 000 But little thing
Ike that don't count with Mckinley

EPOCH

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness TO robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas.
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
tiers. So many feel they owe their RESI-
toration to health, to the use of the great
Alternative and tonic. Ifyou are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle
