While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interuption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.; A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results.” Trial bottles free at ,J.
