of the value of Thedford’s Black-

he says:

two or three times each month.
I would get nauseated. I would
have dizziness and conldn’t work.

worn-out with them. I didn’t seem
to get relief. After taking the pills
my bowels would act a couple or
three times, then I would be very
constipated.
"A neighbor told me of Black

never have found so much relief
as it gave me. I would not ba
