and told him to getyour medicine. So he
got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

get instant relief.

Most of us neglect coughs and colds.
We brush suggestions aside with the re.
mark "I1l be better soon," and often
times we do get better. However, when
that cough or cold gets a hold, it usually
means annoyance, interference with our
work and often a spell Of sickness fol-
lows. Isn't it better Immediately to
check that cold and ease the cough? DR..
Kings New Discovery does it! Search
as you will, you will not find a better
remedy.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is made of
Pine Tar mixed with soothing balsams
and laxatives. It's antiseptic and kills
the germs, allays the cold-fever and
soothes the irritated, inflamed throat.
The very first dose gives you relief. You
cough with less strain. And if you have
a hacking or dry night, cough, grateful
relief follows and you soon drop into a
restful and refreshing sleep. Get a bot
tie to-day and let DR.. Kings New Dis
covery be your cold and cough doctor.
At all druggists.
