A CRITICAL TIME.

Daring the Battle of Santiago Sick or Well,
II Rush Night and Day. The Packers at the
Battle of Santiago de Cuba were all He
roes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Am-
untion and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
p. e. Butler, of pack train No. 3, writ
ing from Santiago he Cuba, on July 23d,
says: 1--WE all had darrhea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time TO see a doctor, for il was
a case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, hut thanks to Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhna Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep our
health in fact, l 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 nave been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for our
pack train before we left Tampa, and 1
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
