A CRITICAL TIME.
During the Battle Of San

SICK OR WELL. A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba were Ill Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.
p. 4. Butler, Of pack-train No.
8, writing from Santiago de Cuba,
on July IS, says: 1--WE all had
disrl hoea in more or less violent
form, and when we landed We had
no time to see a doctor, for it was
. 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 be-
lieve that at one critical time tits
medicine was the indirect savior
Of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would
have been no way Of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no
roads that . wagon train could use.
Ny comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in a supply Of
this medicine for our pack-train be-
fore we left Tampa, and | know in
four cases it absolutely saved life. .
The above letter was written to
the manufacturers of this medicine,
