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

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: Il am user
of Thedford's Black -Draught; in fact
it was one Of our family medicines:
Also in my mothers home, when l
was q 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 tho liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly has saved US lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
D-aught when not so well saves a
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.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's. Black -Draught has been
found valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t Is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed.

BENDING THE BODY.
Why We Can't Swing Backward as Far
as We Can Forward.

as We Can Forward.
Nature won't let the normal hu-
man being bend backward a fraction
of the distance that he can bend for
ward. And the reason for this is
threefold. The human body is so
designed that bending is easiest in
the direction in which it is most
useful. We can see on the ground
in front of US. We cannot see be-
hind US. Our arms are placed so as
to work in harmony with our eyes,
ahead of us, not behind us. We
! want to pick up things we can see.
Therefore it is a wise provision that
enables us to keep our balance when
leaning forward more easily than
when leaning backward. The weight
of our bodies rests normally upon
our heels and our feet extend for
ward to take up our weight when we
stoop.
Again, the muscles of our bodies
are massed where they will give us
most power. The biggest and strong
est groups of muscles are on our
backs and the backs of our legs.
When we lift any weight it is this
great chain of muscles that extend
from the heel in successive links to
the base of the skull that gives us
the power. These muscles, when re-
laxed, are capable of great exten-
sion, in order that we may be able to
bend far forward. In tension they
hold us erect. The muscles on the
front of our body, with the excep-
ton of that tremendously powerful
ligament in front of the hip joint,
are comparatively thin and weak. If
we bend far backward they are not
strong enough to pull us up again.
The human spine consists of a chain
of vertebrae, each with a strong
spine on the back of it. In the re-
gion of the chest the spine is natur-
ally curved forward, and when bent
backward can do no more than be-
come straight. The only parts Of
the spine that are capable of much
backward bending are at the neck
and waist. But at the waist the
spines on the back of the vertebrae
are so large and thick that when
we bend backward they come to-
gether and prevent us from going
any further. Then that powerful
ligament in front of the hip joint
is for the express purpose of pre-
venting us from falling backward,
and it is not capable of much
stretching.
All these structural and mechan-
ical details explain why we cannot
bend nearly so far backward as for
ward. Our bodies are designed for
STOPPING forward and were never
meant for backward bending, which
would anyway be of no use.-Phila-
delphia Press.
