No more high prices in Wagon Work and Blacksmithing in Decatur, as we have adopted the “cash system,” and will do repairing from 25 to 50 per cent cheaper than any other shop in the country, and will warrant our work as good as the best, as we use nothing but first-class material and well-seasoned timber, and hire our hands by the day, instead of by the piece, so they have no interest to slight their work. Look at our prices as compared with others and see what you can save : Good twohorse wagons complete and warranted for one year only S6O. Heavy twohorse wagons, $65. We are manufacturing hand-made top buggies, good rubber top, and warranted for two years for $120.00 on one year’s time. Also spring wagons from $65.00 up to $75.

Decatur, July 15, 1886.—8 w Sts .lust a Bouming. Such is the expression from all druggists and dealers everywhere who are selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption. No like preparation can begin to have such an extensive and rapid sale. And why? Simply because of- its truly wonderful merits. No Cough or Cold, no matter of how long standing or how stubborn, can resist its healing qualities. Asthma, Bronchitic, Hoarseness, Hay Fever, Pain in the Side or chest anil difficulty of breathing or any lingering disease of the Throat and Lungs rapidly yield to its marvelous powers. It will positively cure and that where everything else has failed. Satisfy yourself as thousands have already done by getting of your Druggist, Dorwin & Holthouse, a trial bottle for ten cents, or a ••egular size bottle for sl.
