TERRIBLY swollen
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by BIack-Draught.

RossviIle, GAINS. Kate Lee Able, Of
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jured himself with piece Of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle Of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
Isent and bought Thedford's Black
Draught. made him take big dose,
and when it began to act he tainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got we'll,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedtord's Black Draught."

Frequently intelligence people do

A contagious" disease is one that

An infectious" disease is usually
one not conveyed directly and obvious

taken as q type of infectious disease.

Mrs. X. L.: What causes eczema in
a young baby?"
Usually there is something wrong
with the child's diet. Sometimes, too,
strong soaps are being used on the
skin. Often it is because the child
does not get enough fresh air. The
diet of a child inclined to eczema
should be alkaline.
