Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve-months-old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhea, to me. 1t had been
weaned at four months old and had al
ways been sickly. gave it the usual
treatment in such cases but without
benefit. The child kept growing thin
ner until it weighted but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
I then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. Before one bottle of
the 25 cent size had been used a mark
ed Improvement was seen and its con-
tinued use cured the child. Its weak
ness and puny constitution disappear
ed and its father and myself believe the
child's life was saved by this Remedy.

SILVER KEEPS COMING BAcK.-The
unpopularity OF the standard silver dol
lar in business is shown by the fact that
with all that has been done by the
Treasury Department to increase the
circulation of silver dollars, only about
$1,000 900 are now in use in the United
States, as against $3.50, 100000 in gold.
As the government pays the expressage
on silver dollars, it manages to get
them out, but only to have them come
back wherever it is easy to return
them.
