M. RAW EGGS ftr. Richard's Experience With Different Diets. Peaches and Buttermilk for Three Years. Cecilton, George Richards, Of this place, during the past 12 years, has probably tried more different diets than the average person wouid ever use in a lifetime.

What he has to say about his experiments, must therefore be highly interesting to anyone suffering from indigestion or stomach troubles of any kind. He says: "For more than 12 years, i suffered with stomach troubles, and paid hundreds of dollars for doctor bills and medicines. I was also operated on for piles. I lived on dried peaches and buttermilk for nearly three years. The only thing that would not give me pain was raw eggs.

I was a physical wreck. I could not sleep, and was as near crazy as a man could well be. I must say that after taking two 25-cenl packages of Thedford's Black-Draught, it did me more good than all 1 ever spent for other medicines. I have been working daily on the farm ever since, and I am as hard as iron." This purely vegetable remedy has In successful use for more than 70 years. Try it But be sure that it's "Thedford's."
