BITTER TASTE ^ SOUR STOMACH Pills and Strong Medicines Made This Lady’s Troubles/Worse, But Thedforcfs Black-Draught Improved Her Appetite and Took Away Her Bile.. Nancy, Ky.—Mrs. Cora Waddle, a resident of this; place, gives out this statement: “I have taken Black- Draught and found it to be the best liver medicine I ever used. It has just been tine for indigestion, sour stomach and a bitter taste In the mouth. I used to get bilious and constipated and had to take something. Pills and other strong medicines would only tear my stomach upjnd_leave me tn a { worse fix than before taking. I began to have sick headache. After learning of Black-Draught 1 took it and was cured of sick head- « aches. One or two doses s week, or a pinch after meals, kept the bowels j open and took away all bile. I have a good appetite, due to tay-uee of Draught.” If your liver is not acting properly you may suffer from such symptoms as headache, .biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless relief is obtained serious trouble may result. In its 70 years of sticeessful use. Thedford’a Black Draught lias been - found to relieve these ailments and stimulate the liver to do its work. ’ / At all druggists.

CHAPTER XII. —12— Something Carolyn May Wishes to ' Kttftw. - Carolyn May’s heart was tilled with trouble. This* was the result of her first talk with the old sailor. Not from him, nor from, anybody else, did Carolyn May get any direct Information that the eailo!* had been aboard the Dunraveu Ion her fatal voyagt. But his Stdry I awoke in the child’s breast doubts and longings, uncertainties and desires that hud lain dormant formuny weeks, Uncle Joe and Aunty. Bose loved her and were kind to her. But that feel ing of “emptiness” that hud at first so troubled Curolyn May was returning. She began to droop. Keemeyed Aunty Rose discovered this physical change very quickly,- “She’s just lil^y a droopy chicken,’.’ declared the good woman, “and.' good ness knows, I have seen enough of them." So, as a stimulant and a preventive of “droopiness,” Aunty Rose prescribed xtneset teu. “plenty of it.” • Three times u day Curolyn May was dosed with honeset tea. How tong the child's stomach would have endured under this treutmeut will never be known. Carolyn May got no better, that was sure; but onb' day something buppeued. Winter bad moved on in its usual frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May bad kept up all her Interests—after a fashion. Betijumln Hardy had gone to Atliims* ramp to work.
