MRS. LARAMORE TELLS ROUBLES Lady hi Goodwatcr Describes Her Distressing Experience and Tells How She Was Finally Relieved. Oood water, Mo. 'Ever since I waa little girl," says Mrs. Kiley Laramore, "I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia. I suffered misery after eating, and had terrible heartburn. I thought I had to suffer this way aa long as I lived, but when I began to take Thrdford's Black-Draught, in small doses, every night, the heartburn was all gene in a few days, and I could eat without distress. I took two small packages in all, and although that was some time ago, the dyspepsia has not returned. I speak a good word for Thedford's Black-Draught whenever I have the op portunity." If eating causes distress, we urge you to try Thcdlord's Ulack-Draught. It cleanses the system, helps the stomach to il. t its food, regulates the bowels, and stimulates the liver. It acts gently and is without bad after effects. Try it. Price 25c. ROAD PLANS NOT MADE State Highway Improvements Not Decided Definitely.
