STOMACH TROUBLE
. FOR FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die. ^
I tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
1 got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedtord’s Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy
All the blood in the body
passes through the kidneys
once every three minutes. The
kidneys filter the blood. They
work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily.
When unhealthy* some part of
f.d uifqe pieo sreettaoinetaoie
this impure matter is left inthe
blood. This brings on many
diseases and sym ptoms—which
vary widely but may include
pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatic pains, gout, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debilty drowsiness
dropsy, deposits of the urine,
etc. But if you keep the fil
ters right the dager is over
come. Doan’s Kidney Pills
have proven an effective kid
ney medicine.
A. B. Philips, carpenter, W.
Arch St. Searcy, Ark., says: “I
had good results from Doan's
Kidney Pills nd so did another
of my family. My back had
given me quite a bit of pain
and on using one box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills, 1 had fine results.
1 have noticed no sign of kid
ney trouble to speak of since.”
