Retired Minister TeOt How Ha
Keeps in Good Fora With
tfce Assistance of /
BUck-Drufk.
West Graham. Va.—The, Rev.
Lewis Evans, a well-known retired
minister, now past 80, living here,
has a high opinion of Black- |
Draught, which he says he has
taken when needed, for 26 years. 1
"For years I had been suffering .
with my liver," he says. "Some- i
times the pain would be very In- j
tense and my back would hurt all
the time. Black-Draught was the
first thing I found that would gin
me any relief.
"My liver has always been slug- 1
glsh. Sometimes It gives me a lot
of trouble. I have suffered a lot
with It—pains In my side and back, |
and bad headache, caused from ex- i
treme biliousness.
"After 1 found Black-Draught, I I
would begin to take It as soon as I |
' felt a spell coming on and It re- [
lleved the cause at once. J can !
recommend It to anybody suffer- I
ing from liver trouble. A dose or
two now and then keeps me In good
form."
Made from selected medicinal
roots and herbs, and containing no
dangerous mineral .drugs, Black-
Draught is nature's'' own remedy
for a tired, lasy liver. NC-166
