Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, Ill.,, was told by her doctors she had consumption and thaC there was no hope for her, but two bottles Of Dr. Kings New Discovery completely cured her ana she says it saved her life. Mir. Thos. Eggers, l39 Florida Street. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching consump- tion, tried without results everything else, then bought one bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the won derful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at Chenoweth & Mix's drug store.
