Good water, Mo.—‘Ever since I was t little girl,” says Mrs. Riley Laramore, •i was a great sufferer from dyspepsia. ' I suffered misery after eating, and had terrible heartburn. *' 1 thought 1 had to suffer this way as long as I lived, but when I began to take Tbrdford’s Black-Draught, in small doses, every night, the heartburn was all gone in a few days, and 1 could eat without distress. 1 took two small packages in all, and although that was some time ago, the dyspepsia has not returned. I speak a good word for Thedford’s Black-Draught whenever 1 have the op portunity.” If eating causes distress, we urge you tb try Thedford’s Black-Draught.
