To win a wager. an English marquis
stood on London Bridge and offered for
an hour British sovereigns (O for nv.

1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of newspaper has the right to
publicly RECOMMEND any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it duty to say good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Pemedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for 20 years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a
dbse of this remedy would save hours
u suffering while a physician is await
ed We do not believe III depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure.
but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on nanl and administered at the
inception Of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past % years. For sale by Jno. Cough
