For the common f.nn- ily ailments, such as constipation, indigestion, hard colds, bowel com plaint«, chills and fever, bilious ness, headaches and other like complaints no other medicine is nocessary. It invigorates and reg ulates the liver, assists digestion, stimulates action of the kidneys, purifies the blood, and purges the bowels of foul accumulations. It cures liver complaint, indigestion, sour stomach, dizziness, chills, rheumatic pains, Bideache, back ache, kidnev trophies, constipation, diarrhoea, biliousness, piles, hard colds and headache. Every drug gist has Thedford’s Black-Draught in 25 cent packages and in mam moth size for $1.00. Never accept a substitute. Insist on having the original made by the Chattanooga Medicine Company.
