"T. C. Burnett, the democratic
candidate for sheriff, was taken
violently i'll at Clearbrook. He had
all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera,
and for an hour or two it was feared
he would die. They finally gave
him a dose of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which revived him until a physician
arrived" That is precisely what
the manufacturers of that medicine
recommend for cholera. Send for a
physician but give their medicine
until the physician arrives. If
cholera becomes prevalent in this
country next summer this prepara-
ton will be in great demand because
it can always be depended upon.
