Very Remarkable Cure OF Dlarrhoea.
"About six years ago for the first
time in my life had sudden ana
severe attack of diarrhoea," says
Mrs. Alice Miller of Morgan, Texas.
~ got temporary relief, but 1t came
back again and again, and for six
long years I have suffered more
misery and agony than can tell.
1t was worse than death. My hus'
band spent hundreds of dollars tor
physicians' prescriptions and treat
ment without avail. Finally we
moved to Bosque county, our pres.
emit home, and one day I happened
to see an advertisement OF Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy with a testimonial
of man who had been cured by 1t.
The case was 90 similar to my own
that concluded to try the remedy.
The result was wonderful. I could
hardly realize that was well again
or believe it could be 80 after hav.
ing suffered 30 long, but that one
bottle of medicine, costing but q
few cents, cured me-" For sale by

All Have an "Itch" In Them.

"Speaking of Servian names," said an observant man, they are. not so bad when you once get used to them, nor are they so hard to pronounce. You no doubt have noticed that all Ser. vian names end with a syllable having some resemblance to the English word itch Some of the names end in les or just with ic.' Sometimes 1t is 'ich' or 'ics' or isch,' and so on. It makes no difference how the name ends, you will make no mistake if you give the sound of itch to the last. syllable. That will be the proper Servian sound. for Petrovich or Petrovic would be correct, and in both instances the word would be pronounced in the same way, by sounding the itch Servian names are all right when one gets used to them, but they are strange and shock ing when put into the columns of Eng fish newspapers.
