A FAMILY MEDICINE b Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught. Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.? Mis. Chas. Gastoif, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thodford's Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mother's home, when I was a'child. When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and rMlls nr troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not he without it, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor hills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been In use for many years in the treatment cf stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys is proof of its merit If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagreeable symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed? ford's, the original and genuine. E 7> | A A A ji^i, A A f PRICES | T T ===== T EITHER OF OUR f NOW ON HAND. X 1 IS GIVEN BEI LOW PRICES.
