SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied
With Thedford's Black
Draught.

McDuff, Va.-"I suffered for several
years." says Mrs. J. B. Whitaker, of
this place, with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to
try Thedford's Black -Draught, which I
did, and l found it to be the best fami-
ly medicine for young and old. .
I keep Black-Draught on hand all
the time now, and when my children
feel little bad, they ask me for a
dose, and it does them more good than
any medicine they ever tried.
We never have long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenc-
ed using Black-Draught."
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
lieve indigestion, collie, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
1t has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than million people.

Nothing less than pure gold could
have been the heart of people who,

fully guided its first steps in the

Unalloyed was the fine sentiment
that accorded to women an exalted
place they have held nowhere else in
the world.
Without dross and true was the
comradeship that united the men of
the South to the dumb beasts that
served them-that made their horses
and dogs not seldom as dear to their
owners as human friends.
The appeal of mans love for his
dog was so universally felt that it was
once, at least, successfully relied on
by since famous Missouri lawyer to
gain a hopeless case. During the
trial, which was about the killing of
a worthless dog, the (then young)
lawyer, George Graham Vest (after-
wards a member of the Confederate
States Senate, and still later United
States Scnator) was appointed to de-
fend the man whose dog had been
killed. Throughout the trial Mr.. Vest
seemed to take little interest in the
proceedings, asking no questions and
taking no notes. But at the close of
