tErOm the Sentinel, GebO, Mont
In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1880, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day III April, During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encount
much bad water. which, together
with the severe heat, gave him d very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along
in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small bot
tie of Chamberlain'S Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect uf the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was
taking his first sound sleep for a fort
night. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for
bowel disorders being at hand suggests
this item. For sale by all druggists.
