STOMACH TROUBLES
Indiana Lady Had Something Like Indigestion Until She Took Black-Draught, Then
 Got All Right.

Seymour, Ind.-"Some time ago I had a sick spell, something like indi- gestion," writes Mrs. Clara Peacock, of Route 6, this place. ''I would get very sick at the stomach, and spit or vomit, especially in the mornings.
 Then I began the use of Thedford's Black-Draught, after had tried other medicines. The Black-Draught re- Heved me more than anything that took, and got all right.
 T haven't found anything better than Black -Draught when suffering from trouble caused by constipation. It is easy and sure. Can be taken in small doses or large as the case calls for"
 When you have sick stomach. indi- gestion, headache, constipation, or other disagreeable symptoms, take Black-Draught to help keep your system free from poison.
 Thedford's Black-Draught is made from purely vegetable ingredients, acts in a gentle, natural way, and has no bad after-effects. It may be safely taken by young or old.
 Get package of Black-Draught to- day. Insist on the genuine, Thedford's.

From the moment the reader

interest is kept at a high pitch.
From the Savoy Hotel. London,

carried with swift narration.
Annesley Grayle, poor, pretty, and
decidedly English, is a girl whose
years preceding the start OF the
story have been dull and drear. As
the heroine OF this tale OF mystery,
surprises, thefts. precious Jewels,
and crystal gazing she fulfills her
part of the bargain with Nelson

at times makes her wretched But
all turns out pleasantly In the end
