had as a patient a young lady sixteen
years of G who had a very bad at
tacn of dysentery. Everything | pre-
scribed for her proved Intellectual and
she was growing worse every hour
Her parents were sure she would die.
She had become so weak hat she
could not turn over in bed. What to
do at this. critical moment was a study
for me. but | thought of Chamberlain's
Collie, CHOLERA and Diarrhoea Remedy
and as a last resort prescribed it. The
most wonderful result was effected,
Within eight hours she was feeling
much better; inside of three days she
was upon her feet and at the end OF
one week was entirely well" For sale
