Although he has obtained a lodgment
on Monte Spinuceia and Mont<

appreciable advance toward the

merely a fluctuation of the Italian

The other farmer's seed corn may

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. Insist on Tbedfo.un,
