** ‘T want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re-
J ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,’’ writes
' 1 Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
* “It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
7 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
1 more trouble. I shall never be without
BLack-draughT
In my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi-
^ ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
01 ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
0 reliable, gentle and valuable remedy,
t If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black-
g Draught .It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five
® years of splendid success proves its value. Good for
young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.

If you do, it is probably caused
by your liver. When the liver fails
to perform its functions properly,
the system becomes clogged with
poisonous matter that weighs you
down mentally and physically.
The liver gets out of order very
easily, and if neglected, chronic
trouble usually results. Don’t de-
lay if you feel badly. You know-
ingly lay yourself open to life long
pain, when you allow yourself to
continue in a run down condition.
Cure yourself quickly and harmless-
ly with the natural vegetable rem-
edy, LIV-VER-LAX. It has all
the effectiveness:, but not the effect, of
calomel.
Genuine LIV-VER-LAX bears
the likeness and signature of L. K.
Grigsby, and is guranteed to give
satisfaction or money refunded; in-
sist on it. For sale by J. Meyen-

Good Stock Pays Well.
One of our young farmers, Geo.
Diers, just across the river, believes
in raising good cows, Jersey cows;
and his recent sale of two young
Jerseys has had a tendency to en-
courage that belief. On Saturday
he shipped two of his herd, one
not yet two years old, to Cadmus
Brown, Sylvester, Texas, and re-
ceived therefor $200. Let those
who do not believe in better stock
investigate this and seek to profit
thereby.
Thirty per cent leduction to you,
Mr. Consumer.
Because of the large volume of
business done by us the past year,

A Specific Against Colds.
If there is such a thing as a
specific against colds, it is to be
found in the sleeping porch or the
open bed room. Next to that comes
the eold sponge bath in the morn-
ing, says the Youths Companion.
Be as careful as you can you will
occasionally take cold and when
you do you will find Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy a great help in en-
abling you to get rid of it. Try it.
