Cheering Message From South
Georgia to People Subject
to Fevers and Other Ills,
Try Black-Draught
Liver Medicine.
Ocllla, tin. Mr. J. H. McNeill, a resi
dent of this place, says: "I and my
family have been users of Thedford's
Black-Draufht for years and never yet
found its equal for liver anil stomach
troubles. It Is without doubt the host
medicine for headache. Indigestion and
such Ills on the market. I firmly be
lieve if a family would use It regularly
they would never have any fever, as it
keeps the liver active and Is so easy
to Uiko. We have never had any fever
In our family since we began its use,
although we live in low country in
Southern Georgia.
I use It In broken doses for indiges
tion, gas or sour stomach, but for colds
I use a full dose."
When you feel bad aft over, stomach
not right, bad taste In your mouth,
head aches, bilious, etc, try that old,
reliable vegetable liver medicine you
have heard so much about Thedforrt u
Black-Draught.
You have read over and over again
tho statements from users who found It
of great relief to them In their suffer
ing. Try Black-Draught for yourself
Why should It not bring ynu relief, too?
