About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an at
tack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for ply
sician and it was under his care for q
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was having
about % operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convinced
that unless it soon obtained relief it
would not live. Chemberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
recommended, and I decided to try it.
I soon noticed q change for the better ;
by its continued use complete cure
was brought about and it is now per-
