From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont

In the first opening OF Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
pc per Was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big a C
ono fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he e%ncount-
cred much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe d%iarahoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along
in June the case became so bad he ex-
pected 20 die. One day II of his
neighbors brought him enc 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 of
the mediciue was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep in n fortnight.
That one little bottle worked a COM
plete cure, and he cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests this
item. For sale by the Horton Co.
