Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: MI am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact! ?f tztqa r\t nnr family medicines. Also In my mother's home, when I I was a child. When any of us child rec 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 chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty regular until thi liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without It. for It certainly has saved us lots of j doctor bills. Just a dose of Black- i Draught when not so well saves a lot of days In bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been ; In use for many years In the treat- ' ment of stomach, live*- and bowel i troubles, and the popularity which It j now enjoys is proof of its merit If your liver Is not doing its duty, < you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious- ; j ness, constipation, Indigestion, etc., j a:id unless something Is done, serious ! trouble may result j Thedford's Black-Draught has beer j found a valuable remedy for these j troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts ,ln a prompt and natural way. regulating the liver to Its proper ' functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try It.
