Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstood its severest tests , u
but her vital organs were undermined and J
ieath seemed imminent. For three months A
Bho coughed incessantly and could not sleep.
Sho bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New b
Discovery for Consumption and was so much i' '
relieved on taking first dose that she slept all *
night and with one bottle was miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. . " Thus a
