BLACK-DRAUGHT
CLEANS The LIVER
Enthusiastic Texan Tells Of Bad Fix
He Was In and How He Got
Out by Using Black
Draught Liver
Medicine.

Holland, Texas.-4lr. j. n. Messer
who lives a short distance from her,
out in the country, saws. BLACK.
Draught is without doubt the best
liver medicine made. I do not hesitate
to say 1t viii do all it Is recommended
to do and more.
I am strong and healthy, but we all
need little active medicine once in a
while, and Blaek-Draught is good
enough for me. It does the work well
and cleans the liver, carrying away
bile, the easiest of any purgative I
have ever seen.
Once, some years ago, had slow
fever and my stomach was in a bad
fix, and Blaek-Draught gave me re-
lief and helped me a wonderful sight.
It cured me Of Indigestion, and the bad
feeling after eating. I keep it for my
family, they use It and have for years.
and too, it saves doctor bills and is
not expensive.
A stitch in time saves nine, and
most sickness is caused by a bad liver.
A few doses Of Blaek-Draught fixes
that, and I don't see why people don't
use it, and they would see as I have,
what a help it would be-"
