Worthington's CRlora medicine in my family for
the last four or fife weeks, in several cases of Bowel
Complaint, so common in our vicinity, with inva-
riable success. One of the cases was that of a negro
child, some four b FIVE mounths old, who was SO
emaciated by ~thqeffects of the disease, that its life
was nearly despdred of when my wife happened to
think Shds%-SsSsald try the Cholera Medicine,
and did so Nthc Incomplete success in less than forty
