Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea.

About six years ago for the first time ir my life I had a sudden and severe attack Of diarrhoea, says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan. Texas. "I got temporary relief. but it came back again and again. and for six long years l have suffered more misery and agony than l can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bos0ue county, our pres eut home, and one day happeded to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with testimonial of man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that 1 concluded to try the remedy. The result was won- derful. l 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-" For sale by all dealers in medicine.
