With corn above 50 cts. hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The
hog that takes two or three months
to get on full feed never brings you
a profit.
AVhen you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B.
A. Thomas' Hog Medicine. Use
regularly and watch your shoats
round out into fat hogs in nine
months —hogs going well over 200
pounds and as high as 240 pounds.
Figure the average feeding and
you will see why the B. A. Thomas
medicine is a good investment.
Try feeding out your hogs on this
plan and if you are uot more than
pleased, we will refund the cost of
the medicine. Sold by Pearson

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
h 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: “l 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
Spring, 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
In use for many years In the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of its merit.
If your liver Is not doing Its duty,
you will suffer from ouch disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something 13 done, Ferlous
trouble may result.
Thedford's Blaek-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
Tegulatlng the liver to Its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
Impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed
ford’s. the original and genuine. E 73)
