INTERESTING CASES OF CRAAIP
CHOLIC

Choics are always distressing sometimes fatal,
an article that has proved in many instances
successful as Drs. Drcshach, Kuhn and Pryors
Dyspeptc Cordial has done, certainly ought to
be made public.
The proprietor has no hesitation in saying that
he never heard of any thing acting so promptly
in giving relief. The following cases are
amongst others confirming the statement.
Near Nottingham, Prince Georges Co.,
Maryland. July 4, 1914
Mr. c. uEKsToNS :-SIR-One day last week
in my harvest field one of my hands was seized
in a violent manner believed to be cramp choc,
and became -convulscd in his entire system-his
hands, fingers, toes, &c, contracted and all his
limbs distorted in an unnatural way. Eight men
were employed in rubbing his hands and legs
using whiskey in the act-and bathing his face
and temples with lquOr. For two hours or more
the process was continued without any abatement
in the disease, the man during the time screaming
with anony then sent Il boy to MIR. J. E. Hol-
lyday' about mile off, to try if anything could
be got there to afford relief. They sent me about
two spoonsfuls of your medicine, named Drs.
Dresbach, Kuhn and Pryors Dyspeptic Cordial
His extremities had by this time become quite
cold-the pulse had ceased TO beat-indecd did
not think he could live ten minutes such an
object | never before witnessed. During the
paroxism large knots would run up and down bis
iegs-men rubbing him constantly. now com
rnenccd giving about one third OF the Dyspeptic
Cordial-soon after which thought perceived
some change Gor the better in ten or fifteen min
utes | gave the same quantity of the mediSitle,
and found his pulse had somewhat returned. II
then gave the balance of the cordial AT abont the
same interval; soon after taking the last portion
he was entirely relieved ofthe spasm-the disease
was now conquered and stale of ease ensued +
The contortion he was thrown into made Linz
quite sore in his body and limbs We continue4s
the rubbing process some time after the spasrl
ceased.
IL I. "
dose of the cordial had been given, and after III
spasms had subsided, the man now reliev{
and lying before him-on hearing the whole stat
ment OF tie case very candidiy said the cord
had saved his life. DR. Maccubbin came 50
after DR.. s. and his opinion conceded on the S
iect with him. | think it duty to the aH5tic
make this circumstance known. =

Mr.. c. HERsToSs My infant baby for about
six weeks from its birth was much afflicted with
ChoIic. The attacks were often repeated, and
the sutferings of the child SO distressing, that as
parents our feelings were sensibiy alive on the
OCCASION We had tried many things but all
failed until friend on visit recommended Drs.
Dresbach, Kuhn and Pryor's Dyspeptic Cordial
The first dose gave relief in few minutes, the
child from that period began recovering, and by
occasionally using the cordial was perfectly re-
stored to health. SAMUEL URNER.
