Since 1878 there have been nine cpl
denies of dysentery in different parts of
the country in which Chamberlain's Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
used with perfect success. Dysentery,
when epidemic, is almost as severe and
dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Hereto
fore the best efforts of the most skilled
physicians have failed to check its raw
ages, this remedy, however, has cured the
most malignant cases, both of children
and adults, and under the most trying
conditions, which proves it to be the best
medicine in the world for bowel COM
plants. For sale by. j. H, McNeely,

The price for middling cotton
ruled in New Orleans last Satur-
day at 8 cents, but a decline set in,
and for the past few days middling
has been quoted at Y cents. 1t is
likely, however, in view of the short
crop, which in Louisiana and Tex
rs is certainly less than half as
large as was expected, that prices
will go good deal higher vet.
