Since 1878 there have been
nine epldemics of dysentery in diff
ferent parts of the country in which
Chamberlain's Cclic, Cholera, and
Diarrhoea Remedy was used with
perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic, is almost as severe and
and dangerous as Asiastic cholera
Heretofore the best efforts of the
most skilled physicians have failed
to check its ravages, this remedy
however, has cured the most malig-
nant 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 complaints. For sale by
