Saved From Terrible Death.

The family of Mrs. NJ. l.. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and

this terrible hour DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption turned despair
into Joy. The first bottle brought imme-
date relief and its continued use COM
pletely cured her. It's the most certain
cure in the world for all throat and lung
troubles. Guaranteed bottles SOC and
