writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s

gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.

A Consumptive Cough.
A cough that bothers you constantly
is.one of the danger signals which
warn of consumption. Dr. King’s
New Discovery stops the cough, loos-
e ns the chest, banishes fever and lets
you sleep peacefully. The first dose
checks the symptoms and gives prompt
relief. Mrs. A. F. Mertz of Glen
Ellyn. Ia., writes: “Dr. King’s New
Discovery cured a stubborn cough after
six weeks’ doctoring failed to help. ”
Try it, as it will do the same for you.
Best medicine for coughs, colds, throat
and lung troubles. Money back if it
fails. Price 50c and *1.00. All drug-
gists, by mail. H. E. Bucklen A Co.
