assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Thankful words written by
Mrs. Ada E. Hart, Groton S. D.
“Was taken with a bad cold
which settled on iny lungs;
cough set in and finally termi
nated in Consumption. Four
doctors gave me up, saying I
could not live but a short time.
I gave myself up to my Savior,
determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent ones
above. My husband was advis
ed to get Dr. Ring’s New Dis
covery for Consumption,(loughs
and Colds. I gave it a trial, took
in all eight bottles. It has cured
me, and thank God I am saved
and now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at
