A Life Saving Present.
Mr. M. E. Allison, Hutchinson, Ken.: Saved
his life by a simple Trial Buttle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery, for Consumption, which caused
him to procure a large bottle, that completely
cured him, when Doctors, change of climate and
everything Hoarseness, else had failed. Asthma, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and all Throat and
Lung diseases, it is guaranteed to cure.

Are You Tired of Being Sick.
We want to g iv .1 word to the men, wo.
men and girls who work in stores, offices
and factories. There are hundreds of
thousands of you in the country. Very
few of you aie well. You are shut up
too much and exercise to little. In this
way you get siek. Your blood is bad,
your digestion poor, your head often ach¬
es, you don’t feel like work. Your liver,
stomach and kidneys are out of order.—
Parkers Tonic has cured hundreds of

Two Dangerous Seasons.
Spring and fall arc times when so many people
get sick. The changes in the weather are severe
on feeble persons, and even those naturally
strong are apt, as they say, “to be feeling mis
erable.” Then they are just in condition to lie
struck down with some kind of fever. A bottle
or two of Parkei’s Tonic will invigorate the di¬
gestion, put the liver, kidneys and blood in per¬
fect order, and prevent more serious attacks.—
Why suffer, and perhaps die, when so simple a
medicine will save you ? Good for both
