Stands at tbe Head.
Aug. J, Bogel, the leading drug
gist of Shreveport, La., says. "Dr.
King's New Discovery Is the only
i hing that cures my cough, and it is
the bestseller I have." J. F. Camp
bell, merchant of Aria, writes: "Dr.
King's New Discovery is all that is
claimed for it; it never fails and is a
sure cure for consumption, coughs
and colds, I cannot say enough for
its merits." Dr. King's New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds is not an experiment. It has
been tried for a quarter of century,
and today stands at the head. It
never disappoints. Free trial bot
tles at John Y. MacRae's drugstore.
