FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
| Thedford’s Black-Draught
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
(his place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and 1 found it to be the best family medi
| cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
: time now, and when my children feel a
! little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
Symptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.

promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion
flatulence and a constipated habit.
