His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor Of this pa
per was among the many seekers af-
ter fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his trav-
cling about and afterwards his camp
ing upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with
the severe heat, gave him a very Sc
we're diarrhoea which 1t seemed al
most 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 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 eff.
feet of the medicine was noticed and
within an hour the patient was TAX
ing Ihis first sound sleep for a fort

a complete cure and he can not but
feel grateful. The season for bowel
