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

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: "I am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when
was O child. When any Of us child
ren 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 reg
ular until the liver acted we'll, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not bo without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just dose Of Black.
Dcaught when not 80 we'll 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 it
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
ness, constipation, indigestion. ETC.,
trouble may result.
Thedford's Blacll-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these

functions and cleansing the bowels Of

May Have Surplus to Send Home
Eating is easy" on Island,
Says Consul.

Consul John B. Terres, in a report
from Port au Prince, Haiti, states
that the cultivation of white potatoes
has been carried on extensively in the
mountain regions Of the island by
members of the United States marine
corps, and that it is probable they
will be able to export the product of
their labor to the United States.
They have large tracts of land ON
which they have been raising all
kinds of vegetables.
Consul Terres gives a review of the
market prices in Haiti for all classes
of food products at the end of Au-
gust. He states:
Haiticn Food Prices.
"Beef is now sold in Port au Prince
at IL cents per pound. Very little
difference is made in sales of the
various parts. The meat is of good
quality, principally young steers
brought from the southern part of the
island and from Dominican territory.
They are fed entirely on grass, and
no grain is given. They are slaught-
cred at night and the product is sold
in the markets the following day.
Meat is never kept on ice, except in
few instances during household use.
