When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us 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 well, and We would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it, for 1t certainly has saved, us lots of doctor bills. Just 8 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 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.
