STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YEARS
Majorit of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.-In interesting ad
rices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
iwrites as follows: "I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
Ames, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
lid not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
ledford's Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although 1 did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me
haven't had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Bljck.
Draught has done for me."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and. should be
kept in every family chest.
