Every family should be provided with
some reliable remedy for bowel COM
plants. The want OF such an article is
the cause of much suffering, especially
during the summer months. In almost
every neighborhood some one has died, E,
with cramps or cholera morbus, before
medicine could be procured or a physi-
clan summoned. A fair trial will satisfy
you that Chamberlain's collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy, is unequalled
for those diseases. 1t is also a certain
cure for dysentery and diarrh9a.
