Do You Know Your Neighbors.p

In city man may not know his
next door neighbor. 1t is quite different
in the country. In some sections man
may know every man, woman and child
in the county and be able to give the
family history of all his neighbors for
three generations back. In such a
community man who sees a neighbor
in trouble is as quick to help him out
as he would be TO aid one of his own
children. An instance of this Is related
by II. ii. Seal, well known merchant
OF Fortner Tenn. His neighbor's wife
was taken with a severe attack of collie.
On hearing of II he ran to his store, got
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, took 1t to the
sick woman and gave her three doses
Of it, and he thinks saved her life. This
was witnessed by all of his neighbors.
This remedy Is for sale by all druggists.
