A FAMILY
:" MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiIs, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: Il am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; IN Iact'
# was one of our family medlclnes:
Also in my mothers home, when l
was a child. When any OF us cnlid-
rem complained of headache, usuaHy
caused by constipation, she gave US
q dose of Black-Draught, which woutd
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring. we would have malaria and
chills. or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, anc
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots OF
doctor bills. Just dose OF Black
D-ausht when not so well saves q
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
YOU will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, 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 o!
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed
ford's. the original and genuine. q
