TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, Gains. Kate Lee Able, Of
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece Of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 1865 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and ii 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 swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
! sent and bought Thedford's Black
Draught made him take big dose,
and when II 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."
