ATE TOO FAST
Scuih Carolinian Took Black
Draught For Indigestion, and
Says He Could Socn Eat
Anything.
Ballentine, S. C.—Mr. W. B.
Beukniglit, of this plaee, gave the
foil-wing account of his use of
T!'< ijford's Black-Draught.
".lust after 1 married 1 had lndi
'■ t.-.-n. Working out, 1 got in the
habit of eating fast, for which 1
scon paid by having a tight, bloated
feeling after meals. This made me
very uncomfortable. I would feel
stupid and drowsy, didn’t feel lilce
working. I was told it was indi
gestion. Rome one recommended
Black-Draught and I took it after
meals. I soon could eat anything
any time.
"I use it for colds and bilious
ness and it will knock out a cold
and carry away the bile better and
quicker than any liver medicine I
have ever found.”
Eating too fast, too much, or
faulty chewing of your food, often
causes discomfort after meals. A
Pinch of Black-Draught, washed
down with a swallow of water, will
help to bring prompt relief. Bloat
ed sensations, eructations, bad
i-’reath and other common symptoms
cf indigestion have disappeared
after Black-Draught has been taken
for several days. NC-164

Where Corn Cracker
Got His Gooci Morals
Did you know where M. 1.. White, •
the inimitable Writer known as Torn
Cracker, pet his high moral character
;,nd disposition to subserve himself to .
proper authority? There is a woman
cut in Elida, Now Mexii Mrs. M E.
Dohony bv name and Brother White
is sending her The Star for a season.!
Freaking; about her he says: t
“She is the widow of s-.n eminent
Kentucky lawyer, is aged near eighty;:
but very alert in mirfti and body.
“She is of distinguished family,
noted in Kentucky for dauntless cour
age and a very high order of intelli
gence. Her father was a very "viol,
brave man. and died an incumbent pi
office of sheriff in Adair county of
that martial commonwealth. Two of
his sons at different periods held the
same position; while another brother
was chief justice of Kentucky and is
•.till a very, able lawyer and distrn
ouished orator.
‘‘She was my teacher fhree years,
r.nd administered the last whipping
1 ever received at school. This ac
counts for my high moral charactei
and marked obedience to proper au
thority.”
And yet the most dismal failures in
connection with marriage are failures
to get married.
The guest knocks when he arrives,
but most of the knocking is done by
men who haven’t arrived.
Well, well; there is considerable
more reason for concealing male legs
