I'VE have used Rlack.Draught in our

for liver and stomach troubles.
Il is also fine for the children.
They get away sometimes. just like
children will. and cat 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 DlaCk-Draught and are
never out OF it. We would not resort
to any other remedy, under any cir
