ont medicineS2

From Sylvan Valley News, Brcvard, N. G.
II may DC n question whether the cdi-
tor of newspaper has the right to pub.
fcly recommend any Of tho various pro-
prictary medicines which food the mar
kct, yet as n preventive of suffering, we
feel it duty to say n good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases Il dose of this
remedy would save hours Of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but wo do bc-
licvo that if bottle of Chambcrlain's
Diarrhoca Remedy were kept on hand
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 dur.
ing the past twenty years. For sale by
