Time Before Finding The

for publication: "I have used Black-
Draught for two years, or more, ana
will never cease to be grateful for
what it did for me and mine.
Some time ago, my mouth broke out
with blisters. I had a vile taste in ray
mouth, all slick and disagreeable. I
seemed to have a great, deal of in
ward fever. I suffered with my bacic
and kidneys. . . ' '
I was so nervous, it was dreadful.
I would almost cry- I suffered so.
had gas on the stomach and pains but,
as I said, the pam and ... trouble
was most severe. I had the doctor and
used several medicines without re
sult.
Still hurting and suffering, I began!
to use Thedford's Blacl'.-Draught, mak
ing it into a tea, and using a teatpoon-
fuil dose at a time in not water. I
gradually got better, my lver began
to act, the fever went down and, I
have never had any more trouble of
this kind.
There is no other medicine so good
as Black-Draught."
You will say that, too, when ypu
have given Thedford's Black-Draught
a trial.
It is a good medicine.
