MANsFIELD's MISSISSIPPI DIARRHEA
CoRDAL-We know of no medicine
since the apostolic period which has
worked more miraculous cures than the
Mississippi Diarrhea Cordial. 1t is the
only true panacea for diarrhea, dysen-
terry, aux, collie, cholera morbus, aud all
bowel affections which has ever been
discovered, 1t operates directly upon
the elements of the stream of life, neutral
izing the principle of disease, and thus
radically curing the maIady, whether
located in the stomach, liver or bowels.
Ye who pine upon the brink Of the grave,
when all other remedies fail, hasten to
try its marvellous power
