INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease in the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure it.
Take care of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
slowly and with discomfort; when you
ha"* heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in a condition that needs attes
tion.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
(be badly digested food into the bowel3
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is n-eivrly always pres
ent'when the stomach becomes sour of
disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con
tains the medicinal qualities which acl
as a restorative and regulator for th*
stomach and bowels. It strengthens th*
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
“I suffered from constipation for yesrs, and
tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters it
the only medicine that has ever done me any
good. Through its use I am now in good health
and entirely free from all traces of my former
trouble."—B. P. Stigall, Winnsboro, Louisana

Mr. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: “I have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find It to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms ol
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sale
everywhere. Price 25c. N. C. 127.

Mr. Harrell in his sleight-of-hand
is an artist, and the classic and
popular airs on the musical
glasses won the audience. The
entire-' entertainment of two
