Ills LAST HOPE REALIZED.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa per was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travel ing about and afterwards his camp ing upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which together with the severe heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost
 impossible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he eXpectd to die. One day one of his neighbors
 brought him one small bottle of Cham
 berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling on the ground in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he can not help but f, el grateful. The sea
 son for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item.-JThe Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.] For sale by R. H Beers X Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N. Hurd, Long Hill; The B. c. Platt Co.
