Our boy has been continually
troubled with collie and cholera infan-
tum since his birth, and all that we
could do for him did not seem to give
more than temporary relief, until we
tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Since giving that
remedy he has not been troubled. We
want to give you this testimonial as
an evidence of u gratitude, not that
you need it to advertise your meritor-
ious remedy.-G. M. Law, Keokuk,

 That this board has heard with great pleasure and interest the report of the com mittee establishing kindergartens in Birmingham. But in view of the enlarged scope and future of the work contemplated, 1t is deemed best to have it conducted un- der its own separate organization"

 Mrs. James G. Blount was elected a dl- rector in the society.
