Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidem.

GUS as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore
the best efforts of the most skilled
physicians have failed to check its
ravages, this remedy, however, has
cured the most malignant cases,
both of children and adults, and un-
der the most trying conditions,
which proves it to be the best medi.
cine in the world for bowel com
