Household Gods.
The ancient Greeks believed that
the Penates were the gods who at
tended to the welfare and prosperity
of the family. They were worship
ped as household gods in every
ho me. The household god of today
is Dr. King's New Discovery. For
consumption, coughs, colds and for
all affections of throat, chest and
Lungs it is invaluable. It has
been tried for a quarter of a century
and i guaranteed to cure, or money
returned. No household should be
without this good angel. It is
pleasant to take and a safe and
sura lemedy for old and young.
