Eczema!

Eczema is more than skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure 1t. The
doctors are unable to effect cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Nedi-
cIuaSS


From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, No.
1t may be a question whether the
editor OF newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the yari-
Gus proprietary medicines which lood
the market, yet as a preyentat tive Of
suffering we feel it a duty to say good
word for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
| at the inception of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
mano cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. AT least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by DR..
