Black-Draught Which
Brought Relief.
Langaville, Ohio.—"For years and
years I Buffered with aevero hi ad
ache," says Mrs. Jane Campbell, of
thia place. "It wasn't any fUensure
for. ma to go places, for 1 camo
home with sick neadache. If I went
to church or to any social gather
xnaor to town to shop, when I g.it
back I would have these h' udachea
and have to go to bed for a day or
mora, till I would just get got of
heart and would not try to go.
"About 15 j years Ago I discovered
that Black-Draught wan good for
tbeae headaches. I begun using it
I would take It two or three nights
in icca—ion if I felt the least bad,
and it aura did wonders for me. It

Power lovers are kind of playing

pleasuie and property. Yet there arc
a few. We find them principally in j
j idi ical circles, and a few among the 1
n ency lords. - This class is .composed |
of the deep thinkers. They give much I
time to architecture; that type that I
is dc-.igned- to buil l pens in which to
