Bkck-DraafbL
West Graham, Va. —The Rev.
Lewis Evans, a well-known retired
minister, now past 80, living here,
has a high opinion of Black-
Praught, which be says he has
taken when jieeded, for 25 years,
"For years I had been suffering
with my liver," he says. "Some
times the pain would be very In
tense and my back would hurt all
the time. Black-Dtaught was the
first thing I found that would give
me any relief.
"My liver has always been slug
gish. 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
treme biliousness.
"After I found Black-Draught, I
' would begin to take ,it as soon as I
felt a spell coming on and it re
lieved the cause at once. I can
recommend it to anybody suffer
ing from liver trouble. A dose or
two now and then keeps me In good
form."

roots and herbs, and containing no
