FFAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says Thb Georgia Lady, Regarding Black* Draught. Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, It was one of our family medicines. . Also In my mother's homo, when I was a child. When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us n dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often In the Spring, wo would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, wc would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be lip and around again. We would not. be without it, j for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days In bod.'* Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treatment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and tho 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. Thodford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these trouble. It is purely vegetable, and acts In a prompt, and natural way, regulating tho liver to its proper functions and cleansing (he bowels of impurities. Try it.
