A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Daughters Life.

am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of eXper-
ience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. L tried everything conld
think of, but nothing seemed to do
her any good. 1 saw by an adver-
tisement in our paper that Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was highly recommended
and sent and got bottle at once. 1t
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had in the house.
1t saved my little daughters life. /
am anxious for every mother to know
what an excellent medicine it is.
Had | known it at first it would have
saved me great deal of anxiety and
