DIZZINESS
relieved by Black-Draught
"I decided to take Thedford’s
Black-Draught, ai I had been hav
ing bilious spells,” writes Mr. Chas.
E. Stevens, of Columbus, Ind. “When
I get bilious, I feel sleepy and tired
and do not feel like doing my work.
I get awfully dizzy. I know then
that I had better take something.
After I found how good Black-Draught
is, that is what I have used. I guess
it rids me of the bile, for I feel bet
ter— don’t feel like lam dropping
off to sleep every time I sit down.
That, to me, is a very bad feeling.”
Now you can get Black-Draught in
the form of a SYRUP, for Childkbn.
