plot existed between a desperate lung

that stuck to me, in spite of all reme
dies, for years. My weight ran down
to 130 pounds. Then I began to use
Dr. King’s New Discovery, which re
stored my health completely. I now
weigh 17k pounds.” For severe Colds,
obstinate Coughs, Hemorrhages, Asth
ma, and to prevent Pneumonia, it’s un
