For simple, common ailments, due to disordered stomach,
liver and bowels, you will find Thedford’s Black-Draught a
reliable and useful remedy.
For over 70 years, it has been successfully' employed for
these troubles, and its consumption is increasing year by year,
proving the public recognition of its true and genuine value.
Being puiely vegetable, it has no such bad secondary ef-
fects, as the mineral drugs, like calomel (mercury ), etc., but can
be depended on to relieve, by its first action on the system.
Black-Draught is a good, safe, reliable, family medicine,
for young and old. A package should be in every household.
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., writes: "For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would have
