Government may desire to send them
We wish to promote the work Of re-
adjustment through the organization
of the Council of Defense system. II

offsets being the tension in money,

also showed considerable strength in

He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no 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 sw0l- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.
 I sent and bought Thedford's Black Draught l made him take a 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 well, and we both feel he owes his life to Thedford's Black-Draught."
