Remedy-Read His EDITORIAL.
(From the Times, Hillstilleo Va.)
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being
cured. I had spent much time and
money and suffered SO much misery
that I had almost decided to give UP
all hopes Of and await the re-
suit, but noticing the advertisement Of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and also some testimo-
malls stating how some wonderful cures
had been wrought by this remedy, I
decided to try it.. After taking a few
doses I was entirely we'll of that trou-
BILE, and I wish to say further to my
readers and fellow sufferers that I am
a hale and hearty man today and feel
as we'll as 7 ever did in my life.-O. r.
