SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
ElCHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of San
tiago de Cuba Were All Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts IN Getting
Ammunition and RationS to the
Front Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. P
writing from Santiago de Cuba. on July
%, says: I'VE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
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 Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, sincerely believe that
a one critical time this medicine was
thea indirect saviour of our army, for
if the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There were
no roads that a wagon train could use.
My comrade and myself had the good
fortune to lay in a supply of this medi-
cine for our pack-train before we left
Tampa, and I know in four cases is alb
SOlutely saved life

OF the many arguments against the

that 80 many adults, even persons of
