The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for con- sumption, induced me to try it. Re sults were startling. I am now on the road to recovery and owe all to Dr. King’s New Discovery. It surely saved my life.” This t cure is guaranteed for all throat and lang diseases by Frank T. Clay, Druggist.
