Robbed The Crave A startling1 incident, of which Mr John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the'subje U, is narrated by him as follows:"I was in a most dreadful condition.

Fortunately, a friend advise/1 trying 'Electric Bitters;'and to my great jey ami surprise, the first bottle made a derided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a Well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at any Drag Store. According to the UigginsviTe.

A now baking preparat ion is coming and samples will be distributed free. It is called ''Leaven" and the claim is made that it is half as strong again as the b >-t baking powder and more reliable than soda because the yellow spots and soda taste so common with soda biscuits are avoided.

The firm who are advertising it are a well known Iuiikp nf tlio liiolio^t rerml :i! i(in :?nrl this fact makes it certain that the poods will justify all they claim for them. Success to "Leaven'' seems assured in advance. liawaiian servants think their employers are pulling dfi airs if they are not allowed Jo address them by their Christian names.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, Junction City J!l, was told by her doctors she had consumption and that there was ao hope for Jier, but two bottles .of Dr. King's New Discovery com pietely cured - ner and she says it saved he,r lifp. Mr. Thus Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco suffered from a. dreadful cold approaching Consumption, tried with>ut result everything el^e, then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New ])is overv and in two .weeks was cured, lie is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds.
