Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of collie or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or physician summoned. A re- liable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon. For sale by all druggists.
