Sick Headache.
Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach.
Correct them and the periodic at-
tacks of sick headache will disap-
pear. . Mrs. John Bishop of Rose-
ville, Ohio, writes: "About a year
ago I was troubled with indigestion
and had sick headache that lasted
for two or three days at a time. 1
doctored and tried a number of
remedies but nothing helped me
until during one of those sick spells
a friend advised me to take Cham-
berlain's Tablets. This medicine
relieved in a short time." For sale
by all dealers. Adv.

Saved Girl's life
"I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re-
ceived from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. 1 shall never be without
BUCK-IdrmgHT
2 in my home." For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi- 2
£ ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar 3
gj ailments, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
t. reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
# If you suffer'from any of these complaints, try Black-
J Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five
¡§¡ years of splendid success proves its value. Good for
5 young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.
