Cone, • well known Wiggins resident, says: "I have used Thedford’s Black Draught for constipation. I have never had to take a great deal of medicine, but for fully 30 years I j have, by using it, known Black- ! Draught to be a great medicine, and when I found it so satisfactory, I haven’t 3een any need to change. ; "When I got constipated, I feel all out of sorts and tire4 and sluggish and I tuke a few doses of Black Draught. It regulates my bowels and 1 get all right. My wife takes more Black Draught than 1 do. She i is a great believer in it too, so we ] keep it in the house. It will cleanse the system and help you, if you use it as we have.” Constipation leads to a great deal of sickness among those who do not understand its dangers, and who neglect to treat it without delay. Black-Draught, with the natural, prompt action of its purely vegeta ! ole ingredients, quickly relieves1 i coustipation and helps to drive out * the poisons so as to leave the | organs in a s tate of healthy activity, j Sold everywhere, 25c.
