SPRING COtDS AR£ DANGEROUS
Sudden changes of temperature
and underwear bring spring colds
with stuffed up head, sore throat
and general cold symptons. A
dose of Dr. King's New Discov-
ery is sure relief, this happy com-
bination of anti-septic balsams
clears the head, soothes the irri-
tated membranes and what might
have been a lingering cold is
broken up. Don't stop treat-
inent when relief is first felt as a
half cured cold is dangerous
Take Dr. King's New Discovery
