Mr. John White, of 2S Highland avenue, Houlton, Maine, says: "Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c bottle of Dr. Kings New Dis covery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed: a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung reme dies." Sold under guarantee at J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co.'s drug store. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.

Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to be come strong: He says: "My moth er, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and .strengthening medicine about it. In my mother's case a marked gaiu in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily growing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stomach, liver and kidney complaints. Sold under guav antee at J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co.'s drug store. 50c. The girl with a mother anxious 'n have her marry generally has a lit tle brother mischievous enough fu break the engagement.
