A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago.
Sick or Well, a Rush Night
and Day.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Eatious TO the Front Saved the Day

p. +. Butler, of pack-train No. s,
writing from Santiago, de Cuoa, on
July 23rd, says: 1--WE all had
diarrhoea in more or less violent form
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was a case OF
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health, in fact,
sincerely believe that at one critical
time this medicine was the direct
saviour of our army, for If the packers
had been unable to work there would
have been no way of getting supplies
tc the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good
fortune to lay in a supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and l know in four cases
ii absolutely saved life."

manufacturers of this medicine, the
