CHRISTMAS MENUS BLACK-DRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE. __________y * A sallow comi ilexion, dizziness. biliousness ana a coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases. Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Thedford’s Black-Draught never fails to bene fit diseased liver and weakened kid neys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright’s disease of the kidneys. W ith kidneys re inforced by Thedford’a Black Draught thousands of persons have ci»*elt immune in the midst of yel low fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Thedford’s Black- Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullins. S. C..

I have used Thedford’s Black-Draught for three years and I have not had to go to a doctor since I have been taking it It Is the best medicine for me that is on the market for liver and kidney troubles and dyspepsia and other complaints.
