OUR PARENTS

Dranght-Interesting Tale Of
Her Faith in This Old Re-
liable Family Remedy.

Golden, Ill.-Nirs. Alice Metz, of
this place, thinks that when you have
found good thing. it is your duty
to let others know about it, She
writes: eve have used Black
Draught in our family for years, as
our parents before us used It, as q
general medicine for liver and stom-
ach troubles.
1t is also fine for tho children.
They get away sometimes, just like
children will, and eat just everything.
Many times | have prevented serious
troubles by taking my children in
hand and dosing them thoroughly
with Black Draught.
My husband takes Black Draught
for constipation. 1t worked wonders
in his case. In fact, we are all true
believers in Black Draught and arc
never out of it. We would not resort
to any other remedy, under any cir
cumstances.'
Thedford's Black-Draught Is a
medicine that every person should
keep in the house, and use at the
least sign OF indigestion, constipation,
liver and stomach troubles.
1t Is purely vegetable, and acts
actively on tho bowels, gently stimu-
lating the liver, and helping to in
crease the normal discharge OF bile
into the intestines. 1t assists in the
digestion of food and relieves consti-
patton in a prompt and natural way.
Try Black-Draught.
