Escapes an Awful Fate.
A thousand tongues could not
express the gratitude of Mrs. J.
E. Cox, of Joliet, 111., for her
wonderful deliverence from an
awful fate. "Typhoid pneumo-
nia had left me with a dreadful
cough, and sometimes I had such
awful coughing spells I thought
I would die. I could get no help
from doctors' treatment or other
remedies till I used Dr. King's
New Discovery. But I owe my
life to this wonderful remedy,
for I scarcely cough at all now."
Quick and safe, it's the most re-
liable of all throat and lung med-
icines. Every bottle guaranteed.
50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free
at Gregg's.
Notice.
