A FAMILY
In Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draaght. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringxcld, Ga Mrs Chas Gaston. of this place, writes: 'I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fzet- it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when I was 6 child. When any of us child rsn complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave a 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. vs would take Black-Draught pretty rsS- ular until the liver acted we'll, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without +. for it certainly has saved us lots Of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black Draught when not so well saves s lot of days in bed"
 Thedford's Black-Draught has hesa in use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowsl troubles, and the popularity which + now enjoys Is proof of it's merit
 If your liver is not doing it's 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 8 valuable remedy fer these troubles. It is purely vegetable. and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to it's proper functions and cleansing the bowels ot impurities. Try 1t. Insist oa The1- fora's. the original and genuine. H Ta
