Mtowral Bprings, Ark.—"We use
Black-Draught in our family of six
children." says Mrs. C. E. Nutt, of
this place, "and we find it a good
bowel regulator. I give it to my
children for colds ana constipation,
or any other stomach disorders,
and it certainly is very helpful. I
have never known it to fail them.
Where there are so many children,
it is a good idea to keep a laxative
on hand, and Black-Draught is what
we use.
"I have taken it myself for indi
gestion. I would feel dizzy, have gas
and soar stomach. I would also feel
a tightness in my chest I took a
good dose of Thedford's Black-
Draught when I felt that way and
it would relieve me. I would feel
better for days.
"My husband takes Black-Draught
for biliousness. He says he has
never found its equal. When he has
the tired, heavy feeling, he takes
Black-Draught night end morning
for a few days and he doesn't com
plain any mora. I sura do recom
mend Black-Draught"
