l FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother. Home, Says Thi,
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: II am q user
Of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
It was one of our family medicines.
Also In my mothers home, when I
was child. When any Of US child
rem complained Of headache. usually
caused by constipation. she gave US
q 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 it certainly has saved us lots OF
doctor bills. Just dose of Black
Draught when not SO we'll saves
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 1t
now enjoys IS proof Of its merit.
II 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 a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It 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 it. Insist on Thed

TO NAME NEW CAMP
FOR GENERAL BRAGG
Artillery Training Camp at Fayette
vile to be Named for Famous
Confederate General.

Camp Bragg is to be the name OF
the artillery training camp establish
ed near Fayetteville, according to in
formation received there from high
official source in Washington. The
officer who makes the recommendation
hclds the opinion that the camp should
be given the name of an artillery Of
ficer, it being the custom to name
training centers for military men,
preferably Of the grade Of general, &,
who have served in the branch of the
service for which the camp it to be
used. Mention is made of the fact
that Braxton Bragg as a captain Of
artillery M distinguished himself at the
battle Of Buena Vista. General Tay-
lor's famous command, "Give them
more grape, Captain Bragg" was ad-
dressed to him at Buena Vista.
General Bragg was born in Warren
county, North Carolina, and was the
only native of this State to reach the
rank Of full general of the Confed-
eracy, two facts which make the Sc
lection even more appropriate. He
was placed in command of the dep: r.
ment of Tennessee, and commanded
the Confederate forces at Murfrees-
boro, 1962-1863, and at Chickamauga
and Chattanooga in 1868. He inva led
Kentucky in 1852. General Bragg was
in charge of the department Of North
Carolina during the last days Of the
war, and carried out one of the last
successful attacks by Confederate
troops, near Kinston, on March z
1865. He died at Galveston, Tex.
September 81, 1876, when So years
old.
This will be the fifth camp to be
named for general officers of the Con
federacy. The other are Camps Lee
Joseph E. johnson, Gordon and Wheel
er. Each of these officers, of course
fore or after the Civil war.
