Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking of
Thedford's Black-Draught, which from
long use in her household has become
regarded as "the family medicine"
Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route I, this

when we have sour stomach, headache,
or any liver or stomach trouble, we
use Black-Draught. 1t is an easy laxa.

tain1y think it is one of the best re1n2
edies made"
B,ack-Draught acts on the jaded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
it in its important function of throw
ing out waste materials and poisons
from the system.
In thousands of households Black
Draught is kept handy for immediate
use in time of need. Prompt treatment
often is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing in
to serious troubles.
Its well-established merit, during
more than 20 years Of successful use,

effects obtainable by taking Black
Draught for liver and stomach dis
orders. Get a package today, ard
keep it in your house. See that
