"I find Thedford'B Blaci-Dranght
a good medicine for liver disease.
It cured my eon after he had spent
$100 with doctors. It is all the med
icine I take." MRS. CAROLINE
JUAKTLN , Parkersbnrg, W. Va.
If your hjer does not act reg
ularly go to your druggist and
secure a package of Tliedford's '
Black-Drausrht and take a dose !
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated -bowels,
stirs up the torpid liver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thedford's Black -Draught
will cleanse the bowels of im
purities and strengthen the kid
neys. A torpid liver invites
colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sick
ness and contagion. Weak kid
neys result in Bright 's disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption. - A 25-cent
package of Thedford's Black
Dranght should always be kept
