Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
idence, R. I. He says: ''For several
years l have been almost a constant suf-
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago travelling
salesman kindly gave me small bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme-
diate. Whenever felt symptoms of the
disease would fortify myself against
the attack with few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the afffiction.'' For sale by

There is more Catarrh in this eection
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurabIe. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it Tncurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrah Care, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutions sure on the market.
