they found it.

$32,380.
6. The Oats & Delson nugget was
found at Donnolly in 1880 at the foot of

eold for $50,000.
There were 12 other nuggets found in

Something to Depend On.
Mr, James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with'
LaGrippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and well. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. free trial bottles at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. ;5)
Old People.
Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.
This medicine does not stimulate and
contains no whisky nor other intoxicant,
but acts aB a tonic and alternative. It
acts mildly on the stomach and Dowels,
adding strength and giving tone to the
organs, thereby aiding Nature in the
rierformance of the functions. Electric
Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids
digestion. Old people find it just exact
ly what they need. Price 50 cents and
$1.00 per bottle at Blakeley & Hough
ton's Drug Store. 5
When a person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste is
greater than the supply and it is only a
question of time when the end must
come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is
with the digestive organs. If you can
restore them to a healthy condition you
will stop the waste, put on new flesh
and cause them to feel better in every
way. The food they eat will be digested
and appropriated to the needs of the
system, and a normal appetite will ap
pear.
Consumption frequently follows 1
wasting of bodily tissue because nearly
all consumptives have indigestion. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial will restore
the stomach to a healty condition in
vast majority of cases. Get one of their
books from vour druggist and learn
about this new and valuable remedy,
