In the first opening OF Oklahoma toset
tiers in 1889, heeditor OF this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day ia
April. During his travelling abo 1T and af-
forwards his camping upon his claim, he
encountered much bad water, which, to-
gether with the severe heat, gave him a
very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost 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 email bottle OF Cham
berlain's Colic, 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 lew
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect OF the medicine was soon no.

taking his first sound sleepfor fortnight.
