SAVED SICK SPELLS
Black-Draught Found Valuable by
? Texas Fanner, Who Hat
Known Its Usefulness
Over 30 Year*.
? Naples, Texas.?"I have used Thed
lord's Black-Draught for years?I can
safely say (or more lhan JO years," de
- clar.'S Mr. H. II. Cromer, a substantial,
well-known farmer, residing out from
here on Route 3.
? "I am 43 years old, and wnen a sma'f
boy I had indigestion and was puny and
my folks gave me a liver regulator. Then
:<lack-I>raught was advertised and we
heard of it.
"I began to taue Black-Draught, and
have used it, when needed, ever since.
I use Black-Draught now in my home,
and certainly reenmmend it for any liver
trouble.
"I have given it a thorough trial, and
after thirty years can s.iy Black-Draught
is my stand-by. It has saved me many
sick spells."
Mr. Cromer writes that he is "never
out of Black-Draught," and says several
of his neighbors prefer it to any other
f liver medicine. "I always recommend
\ Black-Draught to my friends," he adds.
U This valuable, old, powdered liver
f medicine is prepared from medicinal
y roots and herbs, and has none ol the bad
f efiects so often observed from the use ol
/ calomel, or other oowerful mineral drugs,
k , Be sure loget the genuine, TMford's.
