eight days. Being some sixty miles from home,
I made use ofall the remedies L could think of, but

prepared a remedy for Cholera, &C., and was advi-

one single dose gave speedy and permanent relief,

This IS to certify that I have used Dr.. R. H.
Worthington's Cholera medicine in my family for
the last four or five weeks, in several cases of Bowel
Complaint, SO common in our vicinity, with inva-
riable success. One of the cases was that of negro
child, some four or five mounths old, who was so
emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life
was nearly d~espaired Of when my wife happened to
think that she would try the Cholera Medicine,
and did so with complete success in less than forty
eight hours. | am thoroughly Of opinion that nc
