For every quarter in a mans pocket
there are a dozen uses and to use each
one in such a way rs to derive the great
est benefit is a question everyone must
solve for himself. We believe, however,
that no better use could be made OF one
OF these quarters than to exchange it for
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera,
