Very Remarkable Cure of DiarrhOea,
"About six years ago for the first
time in my life | had sudden and
severe attack of dlarrhoea,' says
Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas.
81 got temporary relief, but it came
back again and again, and for six
long years | have suffered more
misery and agony than [ can tell.
1t was worse than death My hus-
band spent hundreds of dollars for
physicians prescriptions and treat
ment without avail. Finally we
moved to Bosque county, our present
home, and one day happened to see
an advertisement of Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
with testimonial of man who had
been cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that | concluded
to try the remedy The result was
wonderful. | could hardly realize
that | was well again, or believe it
could be so after having suffered so
long, but that one bottle of medicine,
costing but few cents, cured me. F"
