rs 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recc0mmed Patent
Medicines2

From Sylvan Valley News,
BrevIad, N. G: 1t may he a
question whether the editor
of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any
of the various proprietary
medirines which food the
market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty
to say a goon word for Cham
oerlaln's collie, cholera and
diarrhOea remedy. We have
known and used this medi
cine in our family for 90
years and have alwaysfO found
it reliable. In many cases a
dose OF this remedy would
save hours of suffering while
q physician is awaited. We
do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but We do believe
that if a bottle of Chamber
lain's diarrhoea remedy were
kept on hand and administer
ed at the inception OF an at
tack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many
cases the pre- esence of a phys
elan would not be required
At least this has been our eA
perience during the past 2(
years. For sale by druggists
