Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused such a
general levival of trade at A.McMillen'sdrug
store as their giving away to their customers
of so many tree trial bottles of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs , colds , asthma , bionchi-
tis , cioup and all throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it before buj nig
bv getting a trial bottle free , large size 51.
Every bottle warranted.
The streams of small pleasures fill the lake
of happiness and the deepest wictcheduess of
life is the continuance of petty pains.
