Secure good health and you will surely have good looks. Electric Bitters is a good alterative and tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, puri¬ fies the blood, cures pimples, good' blotches and boils, and gives a complex¬ ion. Every bottle guaranteed.

O’Kelley, C. S. C. Rockdale Co. May 24, 1898. it DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN. Another great discovery has made, and that too, by a lady in country. “Disease fastened clutches upon her and for seven she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three mouths she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally dis¬ covered a way to recovery, by pur¬ chasing of ns a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. Thus writes W. C. Hamnick A Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at the Gailey Drug Co. Regular size 50c and 1.00. Every bottle guar anteed. OA8TORIA.
