Little Daughters Life,

/ am the mother ofeight children and

with medicines. Last summer my little
daughter he'd the dysentery in its worst
form. We thought she would die. I
tried everything could think Of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good, |

that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recon-
mended and sent and got a bottle at
once. 1t proved TO be one of the best
medicines we ever had in the house. II
saved my little daughters life. am
anxious for every mother TO know what
an excellent medicine it is. Had I
known 1t at first il would have saved me
a great deal of anxiety and my little
daughter much suffering. Yours truly,
