A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother’s Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black- Draught. Relief From. Head ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.'— Mrs. Chas. Gaston, Of this place, writes: “I am a user of Thedford’s Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mother’s home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Coring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black- Draught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been Ir. use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it aow enjoys Is proof of Its merit If your liver is not doing Its duty, you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result. Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, Tegulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of Impurities. Try it.

General Washington, just after retiring from the presidency, wrote that one of the most attractive features of his new life was that he might have opportunities to make improvements upon the earth in the capacity of a Virginia farmer. I think of the phrase General Washington used very often when he spoke of making improvements on the earth when I cross Camp Creek on my daily journeyings and look at the ver dant stretch of fertile valley. When J first knew Camp Creek it was a foul, pestilential tag alder swamp from Cates to the river, breeding miasma and moccasins from one end of its loathsome length to the other, and it crawled through our lovely country like a blotch, a cancer, a weeping eczema on the fair face of Clayton county, a sore to the sight and stench to the smell. A wonderful transformation has taken place. Camp Creek is no longer a wide spread and stag nant series of shallow pools, with out banks and running far wide, but it is a clear, swift, running stream, confined by high banks and running like a mountain branch down to the river. In the acres on each side, the tag alders, swamp grass and sweet gums are gone and the noble soil, redeemed from its former degradation is nurturing bread and stretches of corn. What an improvemet wrought upon the earth! If you have any doubts about drainage, come and see! DK/N/C <o|j[ Clear Through ||l CjyyjJjola . HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA. One of our Riverdale citizens who owns many acres on either side of this creek said that he would hardly consider an ofter of one thousand dollars an acre for this reclaimed land, which, a year ago, was worthless and worse than worthless, for it was a malaria breeder. I hail the men who planned and executed this splendid project as patriots in a very fine and true sense. If a man does a good work who causes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before, how much more praiseworthy is the man who causes acres of black fertile land to abound, where there was naught but bog and moral! before. Our Georgia swamp land is mar velously fertile and well may it be since the top soil of the hills has been washed down on them. As it is now in so many parts of Georgia, these tag alder swamps are good for nothing, not even holding the earth together suffici ently, but they are liabilities to any community. In them are bred countless numbers of anoirheles mosquitoes, who are the one guil ty agent in spreading malaria. Malaria and a tag alder swamp are as inseparable as a dead mule and maggots. Malaria has never been driven from a community where swamps were left undrained. Often, it is said, we have no ma laria in Clayton county. “Tell that to the marines.” We do have malaria, though we ought not to have it. I venture this assertion and am ready for a challenge as to proof. There is no inhabited section, soutli of the Blue Ridge moun tains, where there is a swamp of three miles long, in which malaria may not be found, and I will leave the proof to the bacteriologist of the State Board of Health. I have known malaria under the comb of the Blue Ridge, in Michigan and Ohio. I have found it here, though never very far from a swamp. It is a fine, a splendid thing to drain these swamps. Again, I hail these drainage agents as first class patriots, doing a good work on the earth, building better than they knew, for these reclaimed acres an enduring mon ument to their labors and future generations shall call them blessed. But, Mr. Editor, the point I wish to make is that the improved health of any section is well worth the cost of any drainage project, even though there were no other benefits. The experience of all communities in every part of Geor gia is unanimous along these points. If there is a conscientious ob jeclor in Clayton county to the drainage project, I wouid resoect fully suggest to him that the only way to settle this matter rightlv and conscientiously is to come over and see for himself. —Dr. M.
