Hot Weather Weakness.

ut you feel tagged out, listless and
lacking energy, you are perhaps

regulate the bowels, and impart
natural activity to the liver. This,
Herbine will do; it is a tonic, laxa-

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, CebO, Montana

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Montana ia.
Ia the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he en-
countered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea, VIII oh
1t 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 small bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as 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 medicine was soon no.
ticed and within an hour thepatient
was taking his first sound sleep for
a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale
