t a good medicine for liver disease.
It cured my son after ho had spent

MARTIN , Parkersburg , W. Va.
If your liver does not act reg
ularly go to your druggist and
secure a package of Tnedford's
Black-Draught and take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated
bowels , stirs up the. torpid liver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thedford'a Black - Draught
will cleanse the bowels of im
purities and strengthen the kid
neys. A torpid liver invites
colds , biliousness , chills and
fever and all manner of sick
ness and contagion. "Weak kid
neys result inBright's disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption. A 25-cent
package of Thedford's Black-
